Samsung SGH-i200 smart phone gets WM6.1

Damian Koh  |  May 07, 2008

The SGH-i200 was first showcased at the Mobile World Congress in February. Back then, it was running on Windows Mobile 6 Standard. Today, Samsung has announced that the SGH-i200 will ship with the latest WM6.1 to Europe in June and in the other markets within the subsequent month. The candybar smart phone measures 11.8mm thin, has a 2.3-inch QVGA TFT screen and comes with features like HSDPA, onboard light sensor, a 2-megapixel camera and microSD expansion card slot. Unfortunately, the i200 won't be available in Southeast Asia. So what you can do now is read more about what's new in Windows Mobile 6.1 and the list of devices getting the software upgrade here.

  • VIA 1.2GHz processor
  • 2GB RAM
  • 120GB harddisk
  • 8.9-inch widescreen display
  • Webcam
  • 802.11b/g and Bluetooth
  • Vista Home Basic 32


    • The higher-end configuration, which has the same components as the US$749 model reviewed by CNET US, bumps up the processor to 1.6GHz with Vista Business Edition installed. The local pricing for this unit is S$1,199 (US$788.82).

    Diotek develops Korean handwriting recognition software for iPhone

    Damian Koh  |  May 07, 2008

    Sure, the iPhone may be getting Chinese handwriting recognition, but it's not done yet. Diotek, a mobile software company based in Korea, has announced DioPen--a handwriting recognition software for the iPhone. According to ZDNet Korea, the DioPen can recognize Korean, Chinese and English/European letters and digits written in cursive, print, or both. It works on the iPhone's capacitive touchscreen LCD, as well has handsets with resistive touchscreens. No word on when it'll be available, though.

    Defendius Labyrinth Security Lock

    Juniper Foo  |  May 07, 2008
    Now if Miss Jodie Foster had one of these, she won't have needed a Panic Room in the first place. Ain't nobody getting in or out with the Defendius Labyrinth Security Lock. Made of 100 percent titanium alloy from the Art Lebedev Studio which brought you the Optimus Maximus keyboard (where do they get those bombastic names?), you could use this to test just how serious your date is about the relationship. Hopefully, there are cheat hints or he might have to break down the door eventually to get to you. ThinkGeek has it for US$49.99. Wicked!

    Hello Kitty is harnessing solar power

    Mike Yamamoto  |  May 07, 2008
    The Sanrio Empire may have seemed unusually subdued of late, but its campaign for world domination is still very much in high gear. In fact, the threat is more sever than ever, as it continues to target our natural resources.

    Hello Kitty has already made her mark, so to speak, on the planet's heat sources and water supply. And now, acknowledging the green trend's growing momentum, the diabolical feline is now trying to seize control of solar energy as well.

    The Hello Kitty Solar-Power Charger can juice up pretty much any handheld device, according to Chip Chick, whether it be a phone, media player, or camera. And if ominously dark clouds accompany the invasion, the charger can still be plugged into a DC outlet for up to 6 hours of power on-the-go. You've been warned.
