Samsung's SWT-W100K WiBro PMP gets official, priced

by Thomas Ricker, posted Mar 10th 2008 at 2:58AM

We had the chance to get hands-on with Samsung's WiBro-lovin' SWT-W100k back at CES in January. Judging by the arrival of the product waifs, the 4.3-inch, WVGA touchscreen PMP now looks to be getting an official coming-out party in its native S.Korea. €341 takes the little all-purpose device with GPS, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, 8GB of internal flash, and DMB mobile television home on a yet to be determined date. VoIP client, personal organizer, and web browser? Sure, that too. No word on the processor choice but it's definitely not running any flavor of Microsoft OS. With any luck, Samsung will bring a US-specced variant capable of running on Sprint's XOHM service later this year. Video refresher posted after the break.

The CPU is probably one of Samsung's own ARM11 procs. Possibly the same one powering the iPhone, with the PowerVR MBX 3D core.

LOL I thought that was a cell phone for a minute,but it's still too impractical to carry around such a fat
gadget.I would prefer carrying a macbook.It would be funny if this was a phone though.On a side note it's too bad there's still not a fone on the market that challenges the iphone gui.I enjoy my iphone,but it's nice to see competition.

Umm... maybe. I was thinking more of they were in an empty pool with some hot chick in the background, but that just causes more questions to arise, like WTF are they doing in an empty pool?

If you click on the pic and view their gallery, you'll see that we both have dirty minds!

4.3" is not THAT massive. It's nearly the same size of a Nokia N800/N810. And WVGA screens on portable devices are ALWAYS gorgeous.

I wonder why Samsung doesn't release non-Korean versions of this, only exchanging the digital TV tuner - 1Seg for Japan and Brazil, DVB-H for Europe, whatever for whatever the US uses (MediaFLO?).
