LG's DMB phone lets you pause live TV for calls

LG DMB

No, DMB, or Digital Multimedia Broadcasting, still isn't coming to America, but LG is addressing one of the problems inherent in watching live broadcast TV on your cellphone — namely, whether or not you should to stop to answer that important phone call when you're in the middle of watching the big game or whatever — with a new TiVo-like handset that always stores a cache of what you're watching so you can answer the call and then automatically pick up where you've left off. Seems pretty obvious, but apparently no other DMB-enabled phones have this feature.
