At the recent SINOCES 2007 event in China, not that known company Hantel showcased its latest candybar-shaped TV-capable handset. No, I’m not talking this phone supports DVB-H nor DMB-T mobile TV standard, rather it does analog TV! One wonders if this is the right way to start with TV on a mobile phone — after all, that would use the existing programming already available in virtually all countries. On the other hand, there ARE reasons for companies pushing the proper mobile TV standards. Nevertheless, Hantel’s baby will certainly find its public in China – especially when you consider that it boasts the large touchscreen that is ideal for watch TV on the go, a camera and some sort of navigational wheel on the keypad. I doubt will see it exported outside of the world’s fastest growing economy, though.
