Phone Pauses TV For Incoming Call

Oct 10, 2005, 12:34 PM by (staff)

LG today unveiled a new phone for Korea with a "time machine." Many Korean phones have digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) tuners that allow subscribers to receive TV and radio on their phone. This time machine feature allows users to pause live TV being viewed on the phone when a call is received. The phone can store up to an hour of video and resume playback when the conversation is finished. The phone also has a split screen view for making calls or sending messages while still watching TV.
