Samsung Electronics unveiled on Tuesday a portable media player that can be used to watch DMB (Digital Multimedia Broadcast) satellite television broadcasts. The YM-PD1 has a 4-inch TFT (thin film transistor) LCD (liquid crystal display) and can be used to watch movies or listen to music stored on the internal 30GB hard drive, Samsung said. The device can also be used to watch DMB satellite broadcasts and comes equipped with a TV-out option, it said.
DMB is a version of the DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) technology used for radio broadcasts in Europe. It allows portable devices equipped with a very small antenna to receive television signals broadcast over a satellite link. The technology is backed by Samsung and LG Electronics, among others, as a standard for satellite broadcasting to handheld devices. Additional details of the device, including pricing and availability, were not immediately available.
