The world’s Timemachine DMB Phone allows users to continuously watch TV even while speaking over the phone. The phone’s technology stores broadcasts in the memory that have been received while one is speaking on the phone and then replays them after speaking, allowing for continuous viewing.

The phone supports up to 60 minutes of Timemachine function and provides a multi-tasking function that allows users to send and receive short text messages while speaking over the phone or watching TV. The Timemachine Phone also supports virtual 5.1-channel and delivers 3D quality stereo sounds.

LG Electronics equips the Timemachine DMB Phone with the picture clarity enhancement chip Mobile-XD engine based on its world-class digital TV technology, a 2.2-inch QVGA (320X240) LCD and a home digital TV-level high-definition feature.

In addition, the Timemachine Phone features a rotational T-style LCD backed by LG Electronics’ cutting- edge mobile phone technology, which allows users to hold it with one hand and watch the DMB content in the horizontal slide-out mode.

LG Electronics MC President Park Mun-hwa said, “The world’s first Timemachine DMB Phone highlights LG Electronics’ unique synergistic effects that are a direct result of its world’s top digital TV technology and mobile technology design and development. We will continue push and accelerate the convergence of both of these technologies, producing creative synergies to become the world’s top mobile phone maker.”
