Samsung is obviously bullish on its low-to-mid range Star handset. The all-touchscreen device, which is known as the Tocco Lite in the UK, is already available in multiple color options and even some special edition versions — all of which helped Samsung move more than 10 million units so far. Heck, we’ve even seen that the WiFi-enabled Star is in works…
Now they are releasing another variation of the device, which this time, comes equipped with an analog mobile TV receiver. It’s called the Star TV S5233T and has been recently launched in Southeast Asia, where folks are obviously keen on watching TV while on the go — the trend which we still wait to see hitting the mainstream in the Western world.
Rest of the specs seem pretty much unchanged (though we’re not sure). Telegent Systems’ analog mobile TV receiver is used in the device, while a special software is made to make browsing of TV channels user friendly — including the ability to flick the screen to change channels, one-click screen capture and record, on-screen keypad channel entry and reception of incoming SMS messages with continuous TV viewing.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
