Samsung launched new PDA 2 in 1


Samsung has presented a new model of PDA, the I300, the smallest model of combined palmar on the market. The device, that will cost 500 dollars (548 Euros), will be commercialized by Sprint and is conceived for working on the net of cellular telephony CDMA, which was made popular by the companies Usa Sprint and Verizon.

Even if in Europe this device, that is defined 'hybrid', doesn't exist yet, the Finnish Nokia has recently launched 9210, that acts as telephone and organizer. Within the end of the year, other manufacturers will launch similar 'hybrid'products, with coloured monitor, on the European market.

The i300 is the first Palm to have an integrated telephone. In reality, it doesn't physically have a keyboard for telephone, that is, on the contrary, visualized on the coloured monitor. To dial a telephone number we press the virtual buttons on the display. The new model of Samsung has a grey silver coverage that is quite appealing. The device is much lighter in comparison with the products of the competing companies (Kyocera or Handspring), besides being very handy.
