The Samsung SGH-T105G looks like a smartphone
Sadly all we can see of the Samsung SGH-T105G is its label. From the form factor, I’m guessing this is a smartphone with a BlackBerry form factor. We do know from the test report this will be a 850/1900 GSM phone, but no word where or when it will show up.
Beyond E-Tech drops some shiny mobile goodness
I don’t know who Beyond E-Tech is, but they passed a slick looking phone through the FCC today. The device, model D010, bears the Duet brand name and sports dual band GSM, a touch screen and camera.
There’s no word where this phone will end up, but references to China Mobile in the users manual makes me think we won’t be seeing the D010 anytime soon.
PageFlip Lite Automatic Page Turner. Wireless laziness = wireless goodness
To be far, PageFlip, Inc.’s PageFlip Lite wireless page turner isn’t really lazy. It’s for piano players who want to go to the next page of music without taking their hands off the keyboard. The page turner is controlled by a wireless foot pedal – pretty ingenious if you ask me.
I think PageFlip’s next product should be a page flipper for the bath tub or jacuzzi. It could respond to claps, so that way my books and magazines wouldn’t get all wet when I’m simmering.
RoyalTek BV-3200 – Tiny, unbranded GPS
This little GPS unit from RoyalTek passed through the FCC today. In addition to GPS, it plays audio and video. You can even use it to dial your Bluetooth phone.
I haven’t heard of RoyalTek, and this device has no branding, so I’m guessing the BV-3200 will be re-branded before it makes its way to US shelves.
The LG LAN8910NHHD is coming to a Hyundai near you
The LG LAN8910NHHD is a pretty comprehensive auto GPS/audio system. It has a rich feature set that includes iPod integration, turn-by-turn GPS with traffic, Bluetooth calling, and voice recognition. The only thing it’s missing is DVD support.
LG passed this unit through the FCC on behalf of fellow Korean buds, Hyundai. There’s no indication what Hyundai models this unit will show up in, but it’s nice to see that Hyundai/LG has made a solid effort with their auto AV systems.
Easyprox nano from Paxton Access – because even doors need wireless
The Easyprox nano from Paxton Access is a keyless door lock for offices. It actually has a wireless transmitter that manages access permissions, and tracks entry by individuals. Who would have thought that a door would need wireless, but this seems like a much better idea than laying wires next to every door.
