Samsung has launched five new, sleek and stylish mobile phones, namely SGH i450 music phone, SGH-G800 camera phone, i550 and D 880 business handsets, along with Samsung J210. At the event, the company also announced that popular Bollywood actor Aamir Khan is the brand Ambassador of Samsung’s newly announced mobile phones.
The Music phone, SGH i450 incorporates 3D surround sound powered by ICE Power amplifiers by Bang & Olufsen, to deliver a Mobile Theater experience. It comes with a music wheel and dual-slider design. Users can now store, access and juggle music with ease.

The Samsung SGH-G800 5 MP camera phone is equipped with 3x optical zoom, face detection, Xenon flash and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR).The Samsung G800 has been equipped with a 3.7 Volt Lithium-Ion battery. According to the specifications the battery offers a standby time of 370 hours and a talk-time of over eight hours. This time is accurate when the cell phone is exclusively used for calling and sending SMS messages. When the integrated camera is frequently used, battery time drastically reduces and the cell phone has to be recharged after several hours. This is a vast disadvantage when you’re on the road a lot making extensive use of the Samsung SGH-G800’s other functions.The SGH-G800 is unique in its class thanks to its three times optical zoom and face detection. According to Samsung the G800 has been equipped with a camera that can fully compete with a regular digital compact camera. I think we can leave that remark for what it is. Samsung also claim that the Samsung G800 leaves all mobile phone competitors far behind. Is it true what Samsung is trying to make us believe? And are they able to fulfil the promises they made? You can read it in the following LetsGoMobile Samsung G800 review.

Designed for professionals, the Samsung D880 incorporates a 3.2 megapixel camera, 2.3-inch LCD screen, Bluetooth and stereo FM radio.

Powered by Symbian S60 operating system, the Samsung i550 handset features a GPS Receiver, five hot keys for music, camera, navigation, internet and main menu, the trackball 360 degrees movement on the screen for navigation and selection, 3 mega pixel camera and complaint with Bluetooth audio streaming.

Samsung’s J210 2 megapixel camera phone sports FM recording, microSD memory card expansion and Bluetooth music streaming (A2DP profile).

The Samsung SGH-i 450, SGH-G800, i550, D-880 and J210 are priced at Rs.15,000, Rs.21,799, Rs. 25,000, Rs.13,799 and Rs.6,649, respectively. Availability is still a mystery.

Canon unveils new 10 MP Digital Ixus 85 IS, 90 IS and 970 IS digital cameras

Canon is expanding its Digital Ixus range of compact cameras with three new 10Mp models. The 10Mp Canon Digital Ixus 85 IS replaces the 70 IS - the best selling digital camera of last year. The Digital Ixus 970 IS sits at the top of the range and is described by Canon as its "most optically advanced" digital camera. It is priced at £299. The 10Mp camera has a 5x optical zoom, 2.5in LCD screen and a multi-control dial for scrolling through menus, changing settings and reviewing images. It comes in a two-tone metallic finish.The Canon Digital Ixus 85 IS is a direct replacement for the popular (Canon says it sold 2.8 million of them last year) Digital Ixus 70 IS.

The new model costs £239 and has a 3x optical zoom lens, a 2.5in LCD screen and 19 shooting modes. The Ixus 85 IS sports the same silver casing as its predecessor but Canon has tweaked its looks to give the Ixus line-up "softer curves". There's also a bold lens ring and edging details in piano black or silver.

The Canon PowerShot SD790 IS comes with a 35- to 106mm-equivalent, f/2.8 -4.9, 3x optical zoom lens. This model sacrifices the optical viewfinder for a nice, large 3-inch LCD and features a sleek design with flat-button controls. It ships at the end of March for $349.99.

The Canon PowerShot SD890IS sports a 37- to 185mm-equivalent, f/3.2-5.7, 5x optical zoom lens with an improved image stabilization system, which can correct up to four stops (vs. three in the other two offerings), according to Canon. The 2.5-inch LCD leaves room for an optical viewfinder (though I’d rather have a larger LCD). Suggested retail price will be $399.99 when it ships in early April.

Sony Intoduces Rolling Music Player

Sony Corp.‘s new dancing, egg-shaped music player rolled into a dimly lit Tokyo hotel Monday, blinking its flaps and flashing its lights in time to each tune it played.The $354, 11-ounce Rolly, set to go on sale in Japan Sept. 29, is small enough to fit in your palm and comes with stereo speakers, 1 gigabyte of internal flash memory and a battery good for about five hours of music.

The smooth, white Rolly also can spin in place so fast it turns into a blur, and its sensors enable a user to control volume by turning the player clockwise or counterclockwise or switch tunes by pushing or pulling the gadget.The Rolly doesn’t have an American counterpart, but it will go up against Japanese robot maker ZMP Inc.‘s Miuro at home. Miuro, which looks like a white ball caught inside an egg, wheels about in time to music when an iPod is locked onto it.

Sony plans to sell packages of moves and tunes online for Rolly. And users will be able to program the Bluetooth-capable product on a PC using software that analyzes music and produces choreography to match and then sends the programs to the Rolly, Sony said.

Not quite a pet, the Rolly won’t take over from the Aibo robot dog, which Sony discontinued last year as part of its restructuring effort, disappointing avid owners. It can be set as an alarm clock, though.
