The Innocomm Shark smartphone, features a 3.2 inch 800×480 WVGA capacitive touchscreen, 8 megapixel autofocus camera, 3.5G connectivity, Wi-Fi and analog TV, is designed to address the growing interest in feature-rich touchscreen smartphones while entering the category at a price significantly lower than current comparable models.

The Innocomm Shark’s analog TV feature provides consumers with mobile access to the same free-to-air television programming that they view on conventional TV sets, delivering ready access to news, sports and other preferred programming while on the go.

The handset’s large, high quality display combined with touchscreen controls allows for a high quality viewing experience.  The model also incorporates the ability to record TV clips to a microSD card. Innocomm plans to add digital TV capability to future models.

Companies hope that the phone’s price and feature profile would appeal to operators seeking to add  3.5G Android smartphones to their portfolio and to leverage 3G as a strategic growth platform.

The combination of analog TV with Android’s feature-rich platform allows us to deliver both operator and consumer extraordinary value in markets in Asia, Latin America and parts of Europe.

Interestingly, the Telegent has already shipped more than 80 million mobile TV receivers since it first introduced its mobile TV solutions in mid-2007.
