Gigabyte intros HSDPA devices for Euro market
As expected (sort of), Gigabyte's GSmart division came packing at MWC this year with a small army of WinMo handsets ready to battle -- and this time, they're taking the war to Europe. The headliner is the MS808, featuring HSDPA and GPS alongside support for a healthy majority of the world's digital TV standards: DVB-T, DVB-H, T-DMB, and ISDB-T. Unfortunately, it doesn't actually feature the cool skeleton view currently showing up on GSmart's website, but you get the idea. Also being shown are the MS800, MS820, and MS804 -- the last of which looks suspiciously like the O2 Xda Denim -- all with the same integrated HSDPA and GPS as the MS808, but lacking the television tunerfest. Separately, Gigabyte announced that its phalanx of new handsets will feature Garmin's Mobile XT software and are all cocked and loaded to be unleashed on an unsuspecting (or at this point, suspecting, we suppose) European market in the near future, leaving the glut of Windows Mobile Professional hardware packed with more choice, more confusion, and arguably less differentiation than ever. There are worse problems to have, we suppose.Read - GSmart Unveils 3.5G Mobile TV and GPS PDA Phones at Mobile World Congress 2008Read - GSmart introduces 3.5G GPS PDA phones with GARMIN Mobile XT to European market
Gigabyte's g-Smart MW700 and MS800 ready to rumble at MWC?
Not to be outdone by E-TEN, Gigabyte's ready to pull some aces out of its sleeve for Mobile World Congress, too. If you can really call these "aces," that is. According to Russian site MyBestPDA, the g-Smart MW700 and MS800 are getting all geared up for MWC debuts with Windows Mobile 6 (possibly 6.1), 256MB of ROM and 64MB of RAM, GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, integrated FM tuner, and in the MS800's case, 3G data. Physically, both devices look the same -- which is to say very, very bland -- but then again, that's exactly how some Windows Mobile users like it. More on these devices, we presume, in a couple weeks from Barcelona.[Via Unwired View]
Motorola intros DMB-equipped MS800 phone
Motorola looks to have recently unveiled its MS800 twist-and-fold phone in Korea, although it seems that folks in Japan will be the first to actually get their hands on one. Complete specs on this one are a bit hard to come by, but it apparently packs a 1.3 megapixel camera, a microSD slot, 1GB of memory (not sure if that's a card or built-in), GXG support for 3D games, an MP3 player and, best of all, DMB capabilities for some pint-sized TV viewing on the go. Let's just hope the rest of the specs match the phone's good looks.[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]
