DVB-H, or Digital Video Broadcasting for handheld devices, delivers digital broadcast quality TV to your mobile phone. NVIDIA GoForce handheld GPUs provide hardware acceleration for Mobile TV, delivering higher quality visuals than devices using only software, and with less drain on the battery thanks to innovative power saving technologies employed by the GPU. The first of these devices to launch were the Samsung P910 and P920 in Italy, and soon to be available in the US is the Forseer device, designed and manufactured by HTC, and coming to market with Modeo, a subsidiary of Crown Castle International."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20060912-foreseer.jpg" /><br /><br />Earlier in the year, we learned that NVIDIA would be aiming to have more of its GoForce GPUs inside mobile devices within the next couple of years. One such device to receive the GoForce treatment is the HTC Foreseer Smartphone (pictured above). I have no doubts over a couple of Pocket PCs surfacing in the near future with these power-packed GPUs inside - enough to make the venerable Intel 2700G a thing of the past.
