Hello everyone
Thought I would Pass on this information as I think it might be another device
which could potentially give us access to digital radio using the new Android
accessibility with Ice Cream Sandwich which I believe is due out at the same
time this product is released. Worth pointing out though it isn’t a mobile
phone, but might be a useful device to use for anyone who want’s to try out
Android before deciding to commit to an android phone.
All the best
Martin
Samsung are to release a new device which has a built-in DAB+ receiver.
The Galaxy S Wifi 5.0 also has a TV receiver and will use the Android platform
when it’s released in April.
Samsung have teamed up with the International DMB Advancement Group (IDAG) to
work on the device, which will go on sale in the UK as well as Germany, the
Netherlands, Switzerland, Norway and South Africa.
Byung Joon Jang, Director of MID Sales & Marketing at Samsung Electronics,
said: “Samsung believes that such functionalities will take GALAXY S WiFi 5.0
to a new level. Built-in DMB/DAB+ provides excellent radio and TV experiences
on the go.”
Gunnar Garfors, President of IDAG, added: “The functionalities of the Samsung
GALAXY S WiFi 5.0 stand out. We expect that Samsung’s entry into this area will
inspire new fans of digital radio and mobile TV.”
This unit, despite our earlier report does not include the facilities of a
mobile phone.
