Here’s an oven for tech-savvy smartphone owners out there – Samsung Zipel, model number MC368GAAW5A. It only looks like a regular home appliance, but it’s actually a smart oven, one that can communicate with your Android smartphone via Wi-Fi. Moreover, it comes with a dedicated Android app, featuring some 160 different kinds of dishes, using which you can send the data to the Zipel. It will adjust the temperature for the dish you’ve selected without you pressing a single button on the oven.

And that’s not all. The Samsung Zipel will also speak to you, informing you when you can put your dish inside and even how much calories the food you’re preparing has.

Sounds awesome, right? The sad news is that at the moment this is a Korea only product, though I’m sure Samsung is looking for ways to bring it to the Western hemisphere as we speak. On that note, it’s kinda safe to assume this may easily be the first oven that will need an FCC approval. :)

Dusan Belic

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.
