Samsung SGH-i900 Leaked
Following the earlier, heavily watermarked Samsung SGH-i900 photo, another photo just appeared on the web and this time it shows much more than the photo before.
The new Windows Mobile phone is expected to be announced next month in Barcelona during the Mobile World Congress and first rumors said it's powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 featuring quadband GSM/UMTS/HSDPA up to 7.2 Mbps, WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0+EDR. The large 3.5" touchscreen is expected to support 240 x 400 pixel:
Other fine features include an integrated GPS receiver, a FM radio, TV-out, a 5 megapixel camera (hopefully with a decent chip) and microSDHC support up to 8 GB. The battery is said to be a 1500 mAh Li-Ion.
Again, nothing official yet and the expected features as well as the photo above are only a rumor so far. More to come hopefully soon.
MobiFrance has all the latest info (image above courtesy of MobiFrance) and they got the info from Samsung that the SGH-i900 will be released in September 2008. Also, unlike reported before, the photo above isn't an actual photo of the SGH-i900 but a mock-up, as MobiFrance think the i900 might looks like.

Sharp Electronics Intros New Blu-ray Recorders
Sharp Corporation will introduce into the Japanese market seven AQUOS Blu-ray Disc Recorders that reflect Sharp's persistent focus on true image quality and easy operability. The new BD-AV1 and BD-AV10 Series enables recording*1 and playback of digital broadcasts of HDTV programs with the same high-resolution image quality as broadcast with simple operation even easier than VCRs that users are already accustomed to.
As terrestrial digital broadcasting spreads around the world and full-HD LCD TVs become more popular, the desire to be able to easily record high-definition pictures is increasing rapidly. At the same time, there are a great many potential users who still hesitate to upgrade from VCRs due to a preconceived notion that the various types of media and formats in existing HDTV recorders and players make them difficult to use.
These models feature a user interface that can be used easily without relying on the instruction manual. Easy One-Button Operation enables functions such as record, playback, and timer recording to be invoked simply and easily with the press of a single button. A Disc Meter provides peace of mind by clearly indicating at a glance the amount of free disc space remaining on the Blu-ray disc media. And, the Simple Fami-Link Remote is designed with fewer buttons on its top surface to enable users to navigate to the button they want to use without hesitation. Taking full advantage of the convenience of disk media such as eliminating the need to rewind as with videotape cassettes provides viewers with a comfortable HDTV experience with a level of simplicity and convenience that goes beyond VCRs.
These products provide even greater compatibility with the AQUOS LCD TV, including equipping them with the highly rated AQUOS Fami-Link that enables simple operation based on connecting AQUOS LCD TVs and AQUOS Audio Systems, and developing color options.
AQUOS Blu-ray Disc Recorders are digital video recorders for the 21st century based on a completely new concept that enables users to readily enjoy recording and playing back HDTV with simple, easy operation like the VCRs that people are already familiar with using.
