Samsung's Galaxy Apollo smartphone is coming soon, looks like an M100S to us
In the off chance that the Galaxy S isn't your cup of tea, the second-hottest Android device Samsung has released so far is undoubtedly the M100S over in its domestic Korean market, a 3.7-inch hottie with a 5 megapixel cam, 802.11n WiFi, and Android 2.1. It's not just for South Korea, though, as evidenced by this shot that's popped up over on Samsung's British site showing a device known as the "Galaxy Apollo" that looks suspiciously identical to the M100S. Frankly, we're still dying to get a glimpse of this Bluetooth 3.0-equipped M120S at some point -- but in the meantime, we suppose this puppy will have to do. No word on a release date, but Sammy's site claims that it's "coming soon." [Thanks, James]
Samsung M100S flaunted on video, looking snappy
An exhaustive video preview over eleven minutes long of Samsung's just-announced M100S Android set for Korea has turned up on YouTube -- and at a glance, it looks like Seoul residents pining after a Nexus One should be redirecting at least some of their lust over to this thing. It's snappy (we're particularly heartened by how little time it takes to get into the camera app), it appears to have some gorgeous custom widgets, and let's be real, it's hard to argue with any phone sporting an antenna that long -- especially when said antenna carries mobile TV along with it. Buyers have another month or so to wait before picking this up, so savor these videos and make 'em last. [Thanks, Sedat T.]
Samsung answers Motorola with Android-powered SHW-M100S for Korea
You might've thought that one of the local players would've been the first to announce Android gear for South Korea, but that honor ended up going to Motorola with its MOTOROI -- so who's next up to bat? That'd be Samsung, which has unveiled its biggest, baddest Android device to date in the SHW-M100S which features a 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display (same as the Nexus One), 5 megapixel cam, 802.11n (yes, n!) WiFi, Android 2.1, and -- of course -- a T-DMB mobile TV tuner. It's launching next month on SKT, meaning Seoul could end up being one of the world's most interesting Google-powered battlegrounds in 2010.
