E-TEN glofiish V900 surfaces, flush with mobile TV support

Very little is known about the glofiish V900 from E-TEN -- in fact, nothing is known about it other than what we have on this promotional image advertising E-TEN's presence at the GSM Association's Mobile World Congress next month. What few details are revealed here, though, are pretty freakin' notable. The V900 apparently supports DVB-H, DVB-T, T-DMB, and DAB broadcasts, unifying half a world's worth of digital television and radio broadcast standards in a single device. We guess we'll have to wait until the big show in a few weeks to figure out the rest, but if we were the betting types, we'd wager that it'll probably be available in black and blue.

if only they were in the US :(

I bet they don't all support all of those protocols on one device. I bet the model supports all of them, but which standard it will have, depends on which locale they are shipping them.

Hi, Ethan Steckmann:

E-TEN is a very old company in IT filed. she was found in MS-DOS 2.0 age,

At the old time, E-Ten build the best Chinese(Taiwan,Big5) solution let peoples can
read/type Chinese in English DOS. I think the market share of E-TEN's chinese system
is more then 99%.

Then, Windows come, so E-Ten change their market target to build a "Pocket Stock viewer",
it can receive real time stock exchange data from FM radio and display on pocket device.

Since 2002(?), E-TEN start design their PDA-Phone, GPS-Phone, then this one.

It's a great company, "big success then die , then relive",, don't say E-TEN is copy-cat
like China company. it's totally different.

I completely agree with Lee...

@ Ethan: really? Aren't we all past the "every new phone is just a rip off of an iPhone" phase?

Yah might as well have tried for a "first post"

Why dont we have portable HDTVs yet???

Looks like it'll be using the finger-friendly capacitive touch screen. If the software is good, it'll no doubt be a success.

Sprint Touch does something similar now. Same form factor. Stable, mature, TouchFlo device. Sprint TV is proprietary and a bit pricey (IMO), but best thing the States have.
