Samsung brings SGH-P200 UMA phone to Italy
Filed under: Cellphones, Wireless We’ve been pining after Unlicensed Mobile Access and the promise of seamless VoIP / cellular handoffs for so long, we’ve admittedly become a little jaded, so forgive us if we seem a bit desensitized to the news that Samsung has launched its SGH-P200 UMA slider in Italy this week. Samsung’s claiming that the P200 is the world’s first commercially available UMA mobile, and we’re inclined to believe them, despite a string of promising announcements over the past couple years that have yet to materialize. UMA aside, the P200 sports a 1.3 megapixel camera, EDGE, smallish 220 x 176 display, and 80MB of shared internal memory in a 22.5mm thick package — fairly pedestrian specs, but hey, the draw of VoIP is strong, is it not? Expect the phone to spread elsewhere in Europe shortly, while our American friends shouldn’t have much longer to wait for the similarly styled T709 on T-Mobile.Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

BenQ’s IMS-100 Bluetooth speaker
Filed under: Cellphones, Portable Audio, Wireless We’re not sure there’s going to be a whole lot of amplification going on with a 1.6-inch thick speaker that weighs 9.5 ounces, but we’re sure BenQ’s IMS-100 will give your tunes its best shot. The good news is that it’ll look good pumping out those three watts, and the Bluetooth ability means no wires will have to get in the way. You can also do the boring thing and hook this up with a regular ol’ mini-jack. The device operates on 4 AA batteries or an external adapter, works for speakerphone action and should be out in August.[Via MobileMag]Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
