Sports fans may not want to miss a moment of the 2008 Beijing Olympics Games and now they won’t have to.
 
　　Lenovo Mobile Communication Technology and Spreadtrum Communications  jointly presented Lenovo’s TD900, the new digital mobile-TV equipped TD-SCDMA handsets, to China Mobile.

“It is our pleasure to jointly present with Spreadtrum the TD900, the innovative mobile-TV equipped TD handset, to China Mobile (News - Alert),” said Yan Lv, president and CEO of Lenovo Mobile. “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. Being the national industry leader, Lenovo (News - Alert) Mobile will make its best efforts to unite the industry’s strengths and advance the development of China’s 3G technology.”
 
Lenovo, established in 2002, is a well-known player in the Chinese mobile phone industry that specializes in the R&D, production and marketing of mobile phones.
 
The TD900’s design is based on Spreadtrum’s TD-SCDMA platform and mobile-TV solution. This batch of TD900s will be distributed to the Beijing Olympics volunteers and staff members. Lenovo is expected to deliver more TD900 handsets to China Mobile before the Olympic Games.
 
With the Olympics approaching, China has become the focus of the world. Currently, China Mobile is increasing its testing of the mobile-TV function while preparing its third round of public bidding for the purchase of TD-SCDMA handsets.
 
Lenovo’s TD900 is one of the company’s “new version” model series released this month. TD900 is a tablet phone, which supports TD-SCDMA/GSM dual mode and 3G applications, such as video phone, mobile-TV, auto-roaming, auto-switching and high-speed download. In the first batch, several radio programs and about eight TV channels were provided free with good signal reception and smooth video display.
 
As the only wireless baseband solution provider in the industry for the TD-SCDMA and CMMB, Spreadtrum developed the TD-SCDMA digital mobile-TV application. Their chip solution offers mobile-TV play, simultaneous transmitting and receiving of communication signals without interference and a good experience with the TV services of the TD-SCDMA digital mobile.
 
“We are pleased that Spreadtrum and Lenovo Mobile were able to jointly deliver the digital mobile-TV equipped TD-SCDMA handsets to China Mobile,” said Ping Wu, president and CEO of Spreadtrum. “Spreadtrum has pursued independent innovation and has supported China’s self-developed standards for many years. We hope to maintain a strong cooperative relationship with Lenovo Mobile to drive together the next level of development in China’s communications industry.”
