LG just announced its first commercial products for the fledgling US Mobile DTV standard approved in October (http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/us-mobile-dtv-standard-finally-approved/). First up is what appears to be a DTV-ified LG Lotus (http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/10/sprint-shows-fall-dumbphone-lineup-new-one-click-user-interfa/) clamshell -- a phone first introduced in 2008 but now capable of extracting digital TV from the aether with an assist from that telescoping antenna. Also set for a CES launch is that DP570MH portable DVD player that lets viewers watch up to 4-hours of ATSC-approved Mobile DTV broadcasts before heading back for a charge. LG's also promising more ATSC Mobile DTV devices from Dell (laptops), Kenwood, and others including in-car receivers all using LG's LG2160A ATSC-M/H tuner chip. Still, mobile antennas and DVD players... how can something so new feel so retro?LG goes nouveau nostalgic with first US Mobile DTV devices (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/29/lg-goes-nouveau-nostalgic-with-first-us-mobile-dtv-devices/) originally appeared on Engadget (http://www.engadget.com) on Tue, 29 Dec 2009 02:19:00 EST.
