Samsung SCH B500 : 7.7mp Digicam, TV, Cellphone All-In-One

27

March

If you are tired of crappy phonecams then Samsung SCH B500 is the Camphone you has been looking for all these while, packed with a 7.7 megapixels camera, 3x optical zoom, Slide out keypad, nice big display screen, DMB for TV and video and of course the phone itself. This is almost a Digicam fans dreams coming true! SCH B500 are not yet available at the time of this article.

This camera phone is certainly more of a camera and less of a phone, especially when you see it from the back. The slider handset which goes by the name of SCH B500 is quite thick to accomodate the camera lens - 18.5 mm to be precise. The SCH B500 does not simply bank on the credit of having a 7.7 megapixel camera either; its a DMB phone so it can recieve and allow the user to view satellite TV as well. Since the phone can take such high resolution pictures, the user is bound to run out of storage space sooner or later, a problem easily solved by getting T-flash (trans flash) memory cards which the phone supports. The pictures can then be later seen on a TV screen thanks to the TV out function of the SCH B500.

The large display goes into landscape mode once the camera is activated. The SCH B500 is expected to be available to Korean users initially via SK Telecom.

First PDA with Built in TV - LG PM80

March

The pocket-swelling, man-sized device sports a large 3.5inch QVGA LCD screen, with a claimed battery life of up to 2.5 hours of continuous viewing (fine for watching the match, but you might get unstuck if the final goes to extra time followed by penalties).

T-DMB has been described as a “promising cross between telecom and broadcasting, enabling people to enjoy crystal-clear video, CD-quality audio and data on the move via mobile handsets”, and LG is claiming that it’ll work just dandy on the move, saying that the PM 80 could provide stable reception at speeds over 100km/h. The actual device, presented here in the traditional manner by near-ecstatic Korean ladies (if only we got so much unbridled joy from our gadgets) follows the traditional PDA form factor, with the addition of an old-school pull out aerial for TV reception.

Users can control the channels and volume via a “5 way key” and tune into DMB with a click of DMB/PDA key. There’s 64mb RAM and 64mb ROM internal memory onboard with a SD slot for expansion.

Powered by an Intel Bulverde 312MHz processor running MS Pocket PC 2003 OS, the PM 80 can connect to a PC, allowing users to manage their e-mail lists, schedules or phone book.
As ever, the Koreans will get to play with this device for ages before we even get a peek at it - if they don’t decide to keep it to themselves for ever, of course.

Retail Price : Approximately USD380
