Following up on its GPS enabled
range of wireless PDAs and smartphones, Taiwan's Gigabyte Communications is
plotting to show the world’s first 3.5G GPS/AGPS wireless data card at CeBIT,
Germany. Sold under the Gsmart label, the MD800 3-in-1 data card offers a choice
of three interfaces, Express card, mini USB, and PCMCIA. Naturally it comes with
the requisite adapters. Plus, in addition to its 3.5G data capability, it also
offers support for GPS and A-GPS (Assisted GPS).
The MD800 card is a natural successor to the Gsmart MS820 GPS PDA phone which
features an exclusive motion-sensing sensor and the company's own GUI (graphical
user interface). The company has previously won plaudits for its T600 TV phone.
"Following the success of the award-winning digital TV PDA phone, the Gsmart
T600, we are leading the industry in delivering mobile TV," claimed Dr Stanley
Jenq, Gigabyte Comm's CEO. At CeBIT, the company will be introducing the MS808
PDA phone which is claimed to be the world’s first 3.5G mobile phone supporting
four different mobile TV standards, DVB-T, DVB-H, T-DMB, and ISDB-T. The MS808
threws in support for GPS for good measure, too.
