If Archos can make an Android-based home phone, so can Samsung. The Korean giant is launching its Galaxy Player PMP as a VoIP device on LG U+ under the name of Galaxy 070. As far as we can tell, this isn’t the real (DECT) phone like Archos’ 35 Smart Home Phone. Rather it’s a regular media player that relies on the Internet for calling (VoIP). We do live in the digital age and I guess soon enough pretty much any home phone in developed world will work like this…
Anyway, the Galaxy Player PMP is basically a stripped down version of the Galaxy S smartphone. It doesn’t have a cellular radio, but it does have pretty much everything else. That said, there’s a 4-inch WVGA touchscreen, 3-megapixel camera (Galaxy S‘ camera counts 5 megapixels), Bluetooth 3.0, T-DMB support (for mobile TV), 8GB of internal memory and a memory card slot.
At the moment of this writing, the Samsung Galaxy 070 is already available from LG U+.

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.
