Device convergence went to a new level last week with Samsung announcing at CeBIT2005 the SGH-i300 hard disk-equipped smart phone with 3GB of storage capacity, big enough to store a decent amount of MP3s – time to ditch the iPod?
Running ‘Magneto’ – better known as Windows Mobile 2005 – the handset is being pitched primarily as a music phone, with support for AAC, AAC Plus and Ogg, in addition to MP3 and WMA.
It also supports MPEG 4, H.263, H.264 and WMV for video.>Like the V770, the 160g i300 features a digital audio amplifier, this time with 3D surround-sound capabilities, connected to stereo speakers.
