Samsung unveils DMB-equipped digicam, plans HSDPA version
While there's WiFi-enabled digicams available en masse, and do-it-all devices that boast DMB playback seem to be popping up everywhere, Samsung is looking forward by planning to release a digital camera that sports either of the two (or hopefully both) functionalities. Samsung was already hoping to squeeze DMB / PMP-like features into point-and-shoot offerings last year, and now the company has finally unveiled its SDC-K50/D512S, "which shows free TV programs thanks to a built-in terrestrial digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) tuner." The company touts its 2.5-inch LCD as being more effective at displaying television shows than the (generally) smaller cellphone screens available. Moreover, Samsung is hoping to roll out digicams with T-Login support, which would allow a USB HSDPA modem to reside in a small slot on its enclosure, enabling users to upload photos from anywhere in the world via the SK Telecom service. The dongles have already been released for desktops, laptops, and personal media players, but stuffing one in a digital camera could eliminate the oh-so-irksome need to find a PC (or a WiFi hotspot) in order to upload shots to the web.
SK Telecom launches T Login service for mobile broadband
SK Telecom is pulling out all the stops to get people hooked on their 3G and 4G data services, and have launched the T Login service and a new USB modem to get the ball rolling. The new (and incredibly clunky) USB modem looks to be able to provide HSDPA and EV-DO service to laptops and desktops, with a HSDPA / WiBro version due later this year. SK Telecom is even planning two PMPs and a digital camera to take advantage of the wireless broadband, and high-speed phones will be pulled under the T Login umbrella as well. We're hearing all sorts of conflicting launch dates right now, but all of the above should be launched in some combination of now, October, December and/or January.
