Samsung Presents “Gameboy” & “TV” combo cellphone

Wednesday, Apr. 12 2006 | Author: Griffith

Samsung has once again surprised everyone by announcing the first cellphone in which you can view television and play 3D games.

The 3D acelerator supports games with up to 3 million polygons (of course, this number becomes greatly reduced once you start adding textures, light/shadow effects and other things to it). If you want an idea on what exactly is the quality of a game behind a 3 million polygons machine, think of the Playstation one, which supported a maximum 360,000 flat-shaded polygons, so it’s capable of some quite impressive graphics.

As if that wasn’t enough, it also has a video-out output so you can view your media on your television. Oh, and it also has a 2 Megapixel camera with flash.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: where does Samsung get it’s engineers from?

It’s Korean company…

By nature, 99% or their employees are from South Korea… so engineers are mostly Koreans..

I guess you didn’t literally asked this question. :-)

They do make some interesting products and they seem to enjoy ‘pushing the limitation’ on
today’s available hardware,
when something is just not possible, they just come up with new technoledge to make it happen…

They do have some issues..
The samesung traditionally has had this unique system where president’s son takes over the company’s control after the current president retires.. South Korean goverment been trying to stop this system, but.. they are just too powerful.

Some people call the company as ‘Republic of
Samsung’ huh…

I’ve liked Samsung ever since I discovered their inexpensive flash-memory audio players that support Ogg Vorbis. That’s just good.

exact price isn’t released yet,but specuation

says somewhere around 600-700$ in domestic

market.

But DMB isn’t avaliable in US is it?

If so, they won’t include DMB chip which takes

up quite a bit of price tag bringing price

down a little bit.
