A video demonstrating Sony's OLED touchscreen - as used on the new Sony Walkman - in silky-smooth action has emerged, courtesy of Flixmedia.tv.  The clip demonstrates menu animations and transitions that certainly seem to be on a par with the iPhone and iPod touch, perhaps the first time we can say that about a rival PMP.

Qualcomm demo Toshiba TG01 alternative GUI [Video]

, Mar 26th 2009 Discuss [0]

Toshiba followed the Windows Mobile crowd with their TG01, giving the super-skinny smartphone a custom GUI that sits on top of the Microsoft OS.  The Stripes GUI hasn't met with quite the degree of welcome that Toshiba maybe expected, however; we'd much rather have this 3D UI that Qualcomm commissioned and was demonstrating back in February.

Samsung Haptic 8M touchscreen phone launched

, Mar 25th 2009 Discuss [0]

Samsung is adding to their touchscreen phones today with the Haptic 8M handset. This phone uses haptic feedback (hence the name) and sports a 3.3-inch display that has a 480 x 800 resolution. The Haptic 8M supports HSPA-based 3G, T-DMB digital TV tuning and has an 8-megapixel camera. The camera is enabled with face tagging technology, meaning it can recognize faces. Other camera features include flash and smile detection. Also included is a microSDHC card slot and the TouchWiz interface. The Haptic 8M will only be available in Korea at first on SK Telecom for the equivalent of around $660. Since this model does not support US 3G, there would need to be another version should it ever be released stateside. [via Akihabara]

, Mar 25th 2009 Discuss [0]

Ah, the perils of not being specific enough.  When we said we wanted UMID to sort out the first-gen M1 mbook having non-US-friendly HSDPA, what we hoped was that the Korean company would switch radios to a US-spec 3G chipset.  Instead, they're now planning to leave out HSDPA in the first wave of shipments.
