Motorola Launches Portable TV With Bad Name

Silicon Alley Insider:

Gadget maker Motorola (MOT) celebrates CES by launching the...

"Motorola Mobile TV DVBH compatible DH01 device"

Excited? Neither are we--at least not by that name. The device itself sounds somewhat better: "The lightweight pocket sized personal media player extends the consumer TV experience to anytime and anywhere for live TV, on-demand clips and programs saved on a DVR." It has a 4-inch wide screen and is described as being "smaller than a paperback." Reuters has a picture here.

No immediate info on how much it will cost, which suggests that it will cost too much. "Smaller than a paperback" also isn't all that small, especially when compared with iPods and iPhones. It's not a computer, and it presumably doesn't allow you to browse the Internet, so we won't be making room for it in our bags.
