Taiwan market: LG Electronics to launch DVB-T mobile TV handsets in 3Q08

LG Electronics (LGE) plans to introduce its mobile TV handset, the HB620T, into the Taiwan market later this quarter, according sources at Taiwan retail channels.

The HB620T, which has already launched in Germany, supports DVB-T as well as 3.5G technology, according to data available from LGE.

Despite the fact that Nokia has started selling its N77 DVB-H handsets in Taiwan, the leading handset vendors have recently switched their focus on marketing DVB-T handsets that can receive free-to-air broadcasts as Taiwan's government has not yet set a timetable for the release DVB-H operating licenses, the sources noted.
