Motorola just announced a new portable DVB-H TV to followup its
DH01. The name? DH02, of course. The new mobile TV now features a GPS receiver and Tele Atlas maps, an HSDPA / GPRS back-channel for interactive media, and new "auto-flip" portrait to landscape (presumably via accelerometer) touch-screen display of unspecified dimensions. The UI takes advantage of the touch-screen with an "intuitive click, drag, and scroll" navigation. Moto does call the WQVGA display high-resolution -- which is anything but
high if the DH02 carries the same 4.3-inch display of the DH01. Motorola also likes to call the DH02 a PVR since it includes a 5 minute buffer for timeshifting, live pause, and frame grabbing. Thing is, while the former DH01 could record video, that capability is not mentioned anywhere in the DH02 press release. Perhaps the microSD slot is dedicated to GPS maps now, instead of recording space. It does offer Bluetooth and, uh hem, "stunning" video playback. Really moto, stunning video from a sub 30fps play rate in a 480 x 272 resolution? Hyperbole of the press release aside, we're still looking forward to a hands-on at CTIA next week.

Lame
Bloody hell design
(no wonder they have their company in big trouble)
You can tell that is worse than Korean cars, really that bad.
Any untra cheap China PMP will look better than that.
(that's why it's so lame)
testing my pic and password stuff, sorry anyone who cares!
Yeah, me too, looks like they turned off comments on that thread.
Please fix the aspect ratio of that pic, Motorola! That soccer ball is a #$%@ oval!
Also, that guy looks like the late Heath Ledger.
Is there another device with HSDPA/GPRS, GPS and a touchscreen larger than 4 inches? (DVB-H could be a plus.)
it's all screen but the screen specs aren't too impressive. that's a shame.
Some defense for this Motto.
When we talk about the tomtom go 920, we seay it is superb. It's the same size, same resolution. The resolution is similar to that of the iphone but with a larger screen.
So we should say: it is a shame that the iphone and the tomtom go 920 have such a resolution. Still waiting for HSDPA on these devices. (and DVB-H could be a plus.)
My god, there are *cellphones* with better resolution than this.
Test
Eh, I don't think this is in any shape a good thing.
love how it shows a soccer ball...i'm not just a nerd, u know...
