Lenovo and Spreadtrum have made a joint presentation to China Mobile of Lenovo Mobile’s TD900, the new digital mobile-TV equipped TD-SCDMA handset.
The TD900’s design is based on Spreadtrum’s TD-SCDMA platform and mobile-TV solution.
Two batches of mobile-TV equipped TD900 are now in use by Beijing Olympics volunteers and staff members.
What we do not have is reports, as it were, from the action front. Instead we have the usual PR stuff from the two companies.
Yan Lv, President and CEO of Lenovo Mobile said, ‘TD900 is designed to address the needs of the mainstream market and is developed independently and to bring us the latest digital mobile TV experience.’
Dr. Ping Wu, President and CEO of Spreadtrum, said, ‘We are pleased that Spreadtrum and Lenovo Mobile were able to jointly deliver the digital mobile-TV equipped TD-SCDMA handsets. Spreadtrum has pursued independent innovation and has supported China’s self-developed standards for many years.’
What we want to know is how it worked in real life conditions. Taken that as a given then is seems even more likely that the home-grown TD-SCDMA standard is going to make it in a serious way in China. And then possibly some of the other, smaller countries of the world.
