Samsung @ CES - The SCH-B100 satellite TV cellphone

Samsung SCH-B100


Also peeped at Samsung's booth yesterday: the SCH-B100, a two megapixel EV-DO cameraphone with a tuner for receiving satellite TV broadcasts—it specifically uses a service called DMB, or Digital Multimedia Broadcasting. DMB is pretty much South Korea only, which means unlike those three and five megapixel cameraphones we checked out, this one almost definitely won't be coming to the States. The rest of the specs: a 320x320 pixel, 262K color LCD main display and a 128x128 pixel 64K secondary display, an RS-MMC memory card slot, and enough memory to record up to 2 hours of programming (as MPEG4 files no less). Cleverest part: the satellite antenna is actually built-in right behind the screen.
