Vodafone debuts 360 online platform, H1 and M1 LiMo-based handsets
This time last year, you might have thought that LiMo was waning in the shadow of Android's eminence, but we're witnessing the vanguard of a new resurgence in the form of the Vodafone 360 H1 and M1 handsets by Samsung. Being the first LiMo Release 2 devices, they'll come with a bagful of fancy 3D UI visualizations to splash atop 3.5- and 3.2-inch touchscreen displays, with the bigger H1 (pictured) getting the AMOLED treatment, WiFi, HSDPA and 16GB of internal memory, and the M1 receiving HSDPA and 1GB of expandable memory, but no WiFi. They are making their debut alongside Vodafone's new 360 online platform, which takes over from the former Live service. You can expect it to bring Facebook, Twitter, Windows Live Messenger and Google Talk integration, as well as an app store to compete with the other heavy hitters. The M1's three color options are pictured after the break.

Leaked Samsung YP-M1 shows a more colorful spin on its DAP lineup
We can't say we've ever been too excited by Samsung's Yepp series -- not that it's bad, just nothing particularly worth writing home about. If this pic is any indication of what's to come, however, we are suddenly a bit more interested. The story starts in late June, where an Anything but iPod forum member found a Bluetooth SIG for a then unknown "Samsung MP3 Player" with a 3.3-inch widescreen display and the name YP-M1. Then, just a few days ago on the same thread, a newcomer posts the above picture, presumably being the M1 itself. From what we can glean, it'll be a touch screen with a built-in mic (for the voice recorder) and support for flash. That's not a lot to go by, frankly, but it's hard to see where Sammy's P series would fit with this on the horizon.[Thanks, Yuki]
