Samsung D900 Reviewed

Posted by procoder on August 28, 2006

CNet reviews the Samsung D900, touted as the “world’s slimmest slider phone”. At 13mm thick, it features a 2.1-inch QVGA display, 3.0-megapixel camera, microSD card slot, Bluetooth, and TV-out. Short hands-on video after the jump. Here’s the bottom line:

Overall, we’re very impressed with Samsung’s efforts at cramming cutting-edge features into slimmer and slimmer packages. The D900, however, is let down by the lip at the bottom of the keypad, which makes the bottom row of keys very difficult to access

Optimus keyboard

Posted by procoder on August 28, 2006

Loads of programs have different uses for different keys, especially games. Wouldn’t it be really cool if every key was like a mini LCD screen and the contents of it would change depending on what program you were using.Well the smart people at Art. Lebedev Studio are on the case and have a prototype. It looks pretty swish and will be on many gadgeteers shopping lists when it’s released.

First Palm Treo 750 picture

Posted by procoder on August 28, 2006

Lately Palm has been making some fairly incremental updates to its Treo line, so we’re excited at the prospect of the 750. Behold, the first decent leaked Treo 750 picture. It’s a crappy picture probably taken on a cellphone, so it must be real! We won’t point out the new blue case like some other blogs, but we will mention it looks like there is no exterior antenna and the black and white button coloring has been reversed. This just in: In the future, black becomes white and white becomes black.
