Motorola introduced a portable broadcast TV player that will also let users take recorded programs with them on the go.The DH01 receives DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld) mobile TV programming, so it won&#39;t be useful to U.S. consumers any time soon. DVB-H is a mobile TV standard being used in Europe and other parts of the world.While watching live broadcasts, users will be able to pause for five minutes. The DH01&#39;s high-resolution screen measures 4.3 inches and supports 16 million colors. It displays 25 frames per second and provides about four hours of playback time on a battery charge.In addition to watching live broadcasts, users will be able to upload programs that they&#39;ve recorded on their home DVRs (digital video recorders). A 256M byte Secure Digital/MultiMediaCard, which users can insert into the device, will save about 90 minutes of TV, Motorola said.The DH01 is expected to be available this month. Motorola expects broadcasters and DVB-H service providers to sell it, and the device may become available in retail stores too. Motorola did not reveal an expected retail price.Motorola will display the device next week at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.Unless the DH01 becomes available with support for Qualcomm&#39;s MediaFlo technology, it won&#39;t be useful in the U.S., where it is unclear if any company will build a DVB-H network. In late 2007, AT&amp;T announced plans to buy the spectrum that was to be used by Hiwire, the last remaining company that planned to build such a network. AT&amp;T, which has already committed to using Qualcomm&#39;s MediaFlo for a mobile TV offering, has not said if it plans to continue Hiwire&#39;s DVB-H plans.

If there's going to be a convergence between the applications you use on your multimedia-enabled cell phone and the ones you use on your digital TV tuner, then Motorola -- which has a big stake in both -- will have to work harder to  bring it about. That's the inspiration behind the next stage of its Motodev developer community, as the company's vice president told BetaNews this week.

(InfoWorld) - Motorola plans to acquire wireless mobile device developer Symbol Technologies for $3.9 billion, the companies announced Tuesday. Symbol makes a range of devices for businesses, including handheld computers that may include bar code scanners, RFID (radio frequency identification) technologies and WiFi. They are widely used by workers in warehouses and large retail outlets, and by delivery services. The acquisition would fit with Motorola's history as a developer of mobile phones and two-way radios, and advances its push into companies' mobile computing strategies, it said. Motorola has traditionally catered to businesses, notably with is push-to-talk technology used by Nextel in the U.S., and with its Canopy broadband wireless infrastructure business. While Symbolâs products have a broad customer base the company has faced hurdles in the past few years. In 2004, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission fined Symbol $37 million fine for fraudulent accounting practices. Eleven executives were charged with securities fraud including the former chief executive, who subsequently fled the U.S. Rumors had surfaced over the past few days that Symbol was looking for a buyer. The deal is expected to close later this year or early in 2007, subject to regulatory and other approvals. Symbol will become a Motorola subsidiary and continue to operate from its headquarters in Holtsville, N.Y.
