Polaroid PoGo instant digicam on sale next week, toilet graffiti will never be the same
We still don't have the European or US release dates for the Polaroid Pogo instant digicam but they can't be far behind the February 26th date just announced for Japan. Looks like we might see a price cut too, given the ¥10,000 (about $110) price in Japan compared to the $199 price announced at CES. Of course, you still have to shell out for the ZINK instant photo paper 10-packs scheduled to run for $4.99, or $12.99 for the 30-pack variety. As a camera, it's not much with its 5 megapixel sensor, SDHC storage, weak-sauce LCD, and 0x optical zoom as we discovered during our hands-on. What it lacks in specs, though, is made up for by its novelty. 2-inch by 3-inch photo stickers in 60 seconds? Urban ego tagging just got a brand new playbook. Also announced is a bevy of forgettable budget shooters, including the 12 megapixel t1235, 12 megapixel i1237 with touchscreen LCD, and 9 megapixel a930. Lady GaGa must be so proud.
Verizon introduces Samsung's SCH-a930
Verizon's new tilt is well on its way as we can easily tell from its latest release, Samsung's SCH-a930. Notably absent is the usual aerial, but present is not only full V CAST support, Bluetooth, and MicroSD, but those external media playback buttons the a930 turned a few heads with on this otherwise clamped down clamshell. You can get yours now for as little as $99.99 with two year service contract.[Thanks, Scott]
Verizon-branded Samsung A930 sighted
Seems like somebody has been getting a bit upload happy over at verizonwireless.com. Either that, or Verizon is prepping to drop not only the Motorola Q we saw the other day, but Samsung's A930 media clamshell as well. As far as we know it's that same old Bluetooth, microSD, 1.3 megapixel camera musicphone that we've been seeing since the start of the year. Not that we're complaining. Of course, no word on actual availability or price, but we're feeling good on this one.[Thanks, E Gavin]
Samsung's handsets at CTIA
So we're here in Vegas for the opening ceremonies of CTIA, which officially opens its doors tomorrow. We checked out Samsung tonight at the Official CTIA Press Rception; they didn't have a whole lot of anything to play around with that we haven't already seen before (the D807 and T719 were present), but we also caught a quick glance of the A930 from the last time we were in Vegas: CES. More hands on pics after the break, but unfortunately we couldn't snag the new T509 and there just wasn't a whole lot new to show you from Sammy (at least not right now, anyway).
