Motorola introduced a mobile media player that shows live television, on-demand video clips and programming saved on digital video recorders. Mobile TV, which is in the early stages of development, joins Web surfing and music as an emerging wireless feature expected to boost service revenue as mobile calling prices fall. Motorola said the new DHO1 device is compatible with DVBH, a TV broadcast technology standard for mobile devices that is backed by No. 1 cell phone maker Nokia and European regulators.

The pocket-sized 4.3 inch video screen device has a five minute memory buffer that allows users to pause live television and also supports memory cards that can store up to 90 minutes of video. Motorola mobile video player has a rechargeable battery that supports four hours of playback time. Motorola mobile video player will be showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week.
