Samsung is releasing a Digital Multimedia Broadcasting device in Korea that we’ll certainly not get here, but not for lack of need. The Unit is a 6-inch player that reminds me a lot of the DVX-Pod in form-factor (although with a joystick on the side) and is also capable of playing back MP3s and operating as a GPS device (I’m not 100% positive, as all my translation tools are choking for some reason).
Now obviously, we don’t have DMB broadcasts here in America, but wouldn’t it be handy if some of these portable video players started dropping in TV tuners? I hadn’t really considered it until a reader sent me a very impassioned email describing how much he’d enjoy being able to switch back and forth from pre-recorded content to live streams.
A title, in Korean. I bet it’s about the player. [CDPKorea via I4U]
