Gigabyte intros HSDPA devices for Euro market
by admin on Feb.14, 2008, under Giga-Byte
Gigabyte’s GSmart division came packing at MWC this year with a small army of WinMo handsets ready to battle — and this time, they’re taking the war to Europe. The headliner is the MS808, featuring HSDPA and GPS alongside support for a healthy majority of the world’s digital TV standards: DVB-T, DVB-H, T-DMB, and ISDB-T. Unfortunately, it doesn’t actually feature the cool skeleton view currently showing up on GSmart’s website, but you get the idea. Also being shown are the MS800, MS820, and MS804 — the last of which looks suspiciously like the O2 Xda Denim — all with the same integrated HSDPA and GPS as the MS808, but lacking the television tunerfest. Separately, Gigabyte announced that its phalanx of new handsets will feature Garmin’s Mobile XT software and are all cocked and loaded to be unleashed on an unsuspecting (or at this point, suspecting, we suppose) European market in the near future, leaving the glut of Windows Mobile Professional hardware packed with more choice, more confusion, and arguably less differentiation than ever.
