Again, not exactly the “pure” mobile news, but somewhat related nonetheless — if we’re going to cover the Apple iPad, we should also give some space to netbooks. This is especially true if they boast a touchscreen and in some way compete with Apple’s tablet. Samsung NB30 is exactly such a device, rocking a 10.1-inch…

Samsung Beam SPH-W9600 projector feature phone launched in South Korea
Samsung has launched a new projector-equipped handset in South Korea – Beam SPH-W9600. As it’s not a smartphone, it’s not a device we want — unlike that sexy i8520 Beam (Halo) that was announced during this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. We’re talking about a feature phone which rocks a 3.3-inch WVGA AMOLED (no…
Multi-tasking on Symbian S60 – Omnia HD runs 62 apps at a time!
Talk about multi-tasking. This guy (HyperX) managed to make his Samsung Omnia HD run a total of 62 apps at one time! The Symbian S60-powered device runs a custom (HX-V4-Speed-SE) firmware, meaning you won’t be able to repeat this with your off-the-shelf phone.

Koodo Throws Samsung Slyde to the ‘Bargain Bin’
A new, er, perhaps I should say ‘old’ device is now available at Koodo. I say ‘old’ because the device in question is actually a refurb. The Samsung Slyde is now available at a refurbished price of $100 in Koodo’s bargain bin. This is a significant savings as the device was originally priced at $175…

Rooted devices have access to system files, which can enable a user to apply modifications, themes, and yes, custom ROMs. With the Android 2.1 update for the Moment possibly days away, for those who can no…
Samsung extends Corby brand to mouse and netbook pouches

Quite the contrary, since mobile industry is still relatively young, we’ve seen the trend going the other way round. Take Sony Ericsson for instance – they are offering Walkman, Cyber-shot and even Bravia-branded (Japan only) phones. Now to prove the…
