Samsung Handset with 8GB Hard Drive

Samsung has announced its launch of the 'Super music phone' (Model: SCH-B570) in South Korea, which comes with a built-in 8GB hard disc drive, which is capable of storing about 1,600 MP3 files (4MB/song) or 16 Personal Media Player (PMP) movies (400MB/file) or more than 20,000 digital photos (300K/file).

The B570 also supports 'picture in picture' (PIP) function which allows the users to watch satellite digital multimedia broadcasts and PMP movies simultaneously.

Another distinctive feature for the SCH-B570 is the 'Golf manager', allowing users to search the information of the golf course in Korea and strategies for playing any particular course. It will also enable the users to manage the score and calculate the necessary driving distance from a particular tee.

Samsung also presented the 'motion recognition capability' by introducing the new 'morning call motion detector snooze alarm'. When the alarm clock rings, users can turn it off simply by shaking the phone, then alarm will automatically alert again a few minutes later.

Kitae Lee, president of Samsung Telecommunication Business said: "Samsung's newest super music phone has state-of-the-art technology with various functions. We believe that Samsung will continue to deliver the mobile phones with innovative applications to meet user's needs and market trend."

The SCH-B570 will be released in Korea by end of this month and the price will be around $800."
