Samsung’s SCH-B600 10 Megapixel Cameraphone
Well, I do believe Samsung just launched the world’s first 10 megapixel cameraphone.
Samsung’s SCH-B600 sports 3x optical, 5x digital zoom, as well as DMB Mobile TV, a MP3 player, business card reader, LED autofocus, Bluetooth, Ev-Do, Video Recording at 15-30 fps, and a MMCmicro memory expansion slot. And the B600 can be yours for 900,000 won in Korea, or $900 USD.
Macbook Battery Problem
Recently, my four month old Macbook has been experiencing battery problems. Basically, whenever my Macbook is not plugged into a power source via the AC/DC connector, my Macbook would not turn on, or if it was already on, it would crash. After trying all the online solutions, including resetting the PRAM and the Power manager, I phoned Applecare.
Time Spent on Phone: 31 minutes.
After being forced to listen to obscure music for about 15 minutes, I was helped by a very nice man named Robert. I explained to him the problem, and how I had already tried everything online. Regardless, he still had me reset the PRAM. When that didn’t work, he authorized a shipment of a brand new battery. I’m pretty happy with Applecare; even though the phone wait was longer than I desired, it was still fairly short for a help-line.
End Result: Awesome New Battery.

Samsung’s 4gb mp3 player, the YP-T9, is now available in the US.
Samsung’s YP-T9 has 4 gb of internal flash memory, FM radio, voice recorder, MP3/WMA compatible, PlayForSure compatible, video playback, and is very thin (0.5 inches thick, weighs 1.8 ounces).You can buy Samsung’s YP-T9 from Best Buy for $199.99, but currently it’s back ordered for 1-2 weeks. CNET Asia gave the YP-T9 a “very good” rating, stating that “the Samsung YP-T9 raises the bar by the YP-T8, but with a more beguiling design that’s worthy enough to warrant an upgrade.”

Nokia Aeon Full Screen Concept Phone
Nokia is currently developing the “Aeon” full screen phone. This “aeon” cell phone will have an interactive, touch screen that covers the entire front of the cell phone, and can display different programs for different purposes (ie a number key pad). If Nokia ever sold this phone, I woud love to buy one.
