Arima Communications Selects Telegent for Free-to-Air Mobile TV Feature
(Business News, 28 Aug 2008 )
Arima has selected Telegent’s mobile TV solution for the free-to-air TV feature in selected handset models. The TV phones, which provide consumers with mobile access to local over-the-air broadcast television channels, are expected to be available to consumers by late summer of this year.
Arima’s TV handset brings a number of firsts to the mobile TV market aimed at providing the consumer with an enjoyable television viewing experience. It is the first phone from a Taiwan manufacturer to integrate a TV button on the handset that provides the consumer with direct access to the TV function. It enables auto-rotation between landscape and portrait views using an integrated accelerometer. The handset also sports a stylish form-factor that is under 50mm wide and 110mm tall and incorporates a connection for a TV stand accessory.
