Korea brings convergence back with the Samsung SGH-9000

Posted By: JD Lewin | Nov 20th, 2006 @ 3:56 PM
A few years back the idea of 'convergence devices' fell from grace quicker than we can say pets dot com. Lately though the idea of a new category of handheld device is hugely exciting. Naturally whenever the wind carries the scent of the future, it typically comes from Asia.

The Samsung SGH-9000 comes armed with a 5-inch lcd, folding qwerty keyboard, and a 30 gig drive. Add EV-DO, WiMAX, bluetooth, and a camera and you've got quite an immaculate device. Oh and to top it all of this thing folds up into a neat little package. Who wants to move to Seoul?

Wow - that thing looks awesome.  Any more info on it?  Google didn't give me anything, and it didn't come up when I searched Samsung.com.

Thanks for the reminder. I added a link to Samsung's press release, which has got more data.

Here's another link, this one mentioning that the device will run a complete version of Windows XP:
