Samsung rolls text messaging and HSDPA into digicam

While some people are still fiddling with yesteryear's Wi-Fi shooters, Samsung has gone ahead to add texting capabilities and HSDPA support to its VLUU i70 digital camera, according to a report by TrustedReviews.

The VLUU i70 will be equipped with a 7.2-megapixel CCD, 3-inch LCD screen, Advanced Shake Reduction (ASR) and double as a portable media player. We think it's the i70 announced at CES, on steroids. If that is true, then the camera should also come with face recognition AE/AF functions, record 720 x 480-pixel MPEG-4 movies and have a maximum ISO 1,600 setting.

No word on when this Samsung will be available outside kimchi land, but being able to upload decent-quality pictures without being confined to a hotspot as well as send text messages with our snaps sound like good news. All we have to do now is wait.
