I had a play with Nokia’s new N93 phone this week, which is getting lots of publicity for its high-resolution video shooting capabilities. But there hasn’t been as much fuss made about its TV-Out port, which lets you connect the N93 to your telly.
All About Symbian’s got a great feature outlining some of the possible uses, from wide-screen word processing or gaming through to TV web surfing. That’s their image on the right. Apparently, you can even make video-calls and have the person you’re talking to appear on TV.
I’ve yet to be convinced on the games front, I can’t see a mobile phone displacing PS2 Pro Evo from my living room, let alone any next-gen consoles. But the other examples hint at the use of the TV-Out feature, which Nokia will hopefully be rolling into more of its smartphone handsets.
Anyone know when the N93 will be available in the US?
Since the phone has a 3.2 megapixel camera it’ll be a good way to show off your own pictures - just like how most digital cameras can output to TVs too.
