Smart Bro SurfTV is a device that connects to a television set and gives it access to the internet any where in the Philippines (well, as long as you have 3G coverage).
You basically plug the device into the RCA port of a color TV set. Smart Bro SurfTV then turns the set into a ready-to-run “internet appliance” where users can surf, chat, and email — through a multi-tasking TV.
Smart Bro SurfTV comes in a boxed set complete with a keyboard, a mouse, a remote control, and a Smart Bro USB stick-type modem with a prepaid SIM, pre-loaded with Php100 worth of load. The entire kit costs only Php4,500 and additional internet access costs Php10 for every 30 minutes.
Not yet sure what it can or cannot do compared to, say, a regular desktop (like how it handles downloaded files, etc.). We’ll just have to wait for the review unit to arrive before we can get more details.
