The set of three DVB-H-connected portable devices from Quantum have no available pricing yet. Pricing is a crucial determinant of thesuccessof Quantum in the PMP/ PND market but as it is the company offers portable TV on a basic PMP, though it boasts a killer PAY-TV app, a Sat Nav-enabled PMP and a do-it-all PMP that has 3G connectivity added. Quantum adds a slight twist in its devices using the landscape view for portable entertainment and the portrait view for navigation. It's a little odd but that's what Quantum is giving us.
