CommunicAsia 2008 Roundup
Singapore, June 20- CommunicAsia 2008, Singapore’s largest IT exhibition held June 17-20 in Singapore, was in full swing with gadgets of all kind to be seen. The four day event saw massive turnout, and Mobile88 was there to catch a glimpse of the action.
LG’s secret unveiled
LG's massive booth was riddled with low-end to luxury phone models. The fanfare at the booth was astounding with a two level booth and plenty of models to spare. But the phones were the true highlights of the booth with the LG Secret the main flagship model to be showcased. The phone is covered in tempered glass and carbon fibre making it an extremely sturdy and scratch-proof phone.
Part of the Black Label series, the KF750 slider also has the auto-rotating display much like the iPhone’s, it has auto Luminance control and a Google package.
The LG Secret is expected to be sold at $500(around RM 1,627).
Samsung Omnia is eyes only
Samsung had a massive showing, sporting a large arc booth showcasing their Omnia and Soul devices. Samsung kept the Omnia under wraps and visitors were prohibited from taking photos of the anticipated device. We did manage to get the confirmed specs for the device- it has quad-band connectivity with HSDPA, 5.0 megapixel camera with Auto Focus, 3.2 inch display. The internal memory of the Omnia stands at 8GB and 16GB.
The Omnia will be available at the same week of CommunicAsia.
Garmin GPS phone
Taiwanese GPS makers Garmin showcased the Nuvifone GPS-integrated phone, the phone is Garmin first phone, but it doesn’t lack in features. The phone comes with quad-band, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, 3.0 megapixel and MP3. The device is powered by a Linux-based operating system and is a full-touch screen handset.
The Nuvifone is expected to hit the stands at the end of the year.
