Samsung on LiMo
Samsung will not ride the limousine, if it did, why would that be news? Nor are the guys from Samsung releasing their very own cars. Samsung phones will get a revamp and they will give a fresh perspective to the industry as they will run on the Linux Mobile platform, and not on another Android, or Symbian, or Windows Mobile operating system. We still do not know how the Linux platform fares to its competitors and we, at least our Korean counterparts, wouldn’t need to wait until the end of 2009 for us to know.
The SCH-M510 which was released in Korea in mid-November this year comes with 3.5” WVGA AMOLED touchscreen and is WiFi and Bluetooth ready. It has a 5-megapixel camera to boot. These, among other features of the phone gives it functionality in various media which makes it a worthy competitor in the mobile telecom market
The SCH-M510 is released via the SK Telecom while it will be hosted by NTT DOCOMO and Vodafone in other locations.
“Samsung has now released three LiMo compliant handsets, which demonstrate Samsung’s deep commitment to the LiMo Foundation and also to the flexibility of the LiMo Platform.”, said Jong-In Kim, vice president of Product Planning Training of Samsung Electronics.
Because of the Linux’s independent platform which is ideal for personalization and modification, this Samsung phone will become highly customizable and which gives the SCH-M510 virtually unlimited potential.
You don’t need to head to the far east just to see functional and fresh gadgets. Innovation is just a click away with Gadgetepoint!
