Samsung Cell Phone Features 3GB Hard Drive

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the we're-getting-close-on-this-one dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Samsung will be showing off a new cell phone which runs on Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system which features a built-in hard drive. The SGH-I300 will offer 3GB of storage which allows you to store up to 1,000 songs on it for playback through the music player. The 3GB hard drive is similar to the type of hard drive that is found in Apple's Mini iPod. These 1-inch drives with very low power requirements, are ideal for cell phones and other mobile devices."

    ...unit of memory? I guess we can blame it on Apple. How long before we start seeing hard drives advertised as storing megasongs or gigasongs? My first computer didn't even hold a millisong!

    I want a cell phone that doesnt recieve calls.

    I want it to take good pictures, check my email, sync to my server, play music, browse the web and have a fold out QWERTY keyboard.. I want a big color screen, weeks of battery life, kinetic charging, and it needs to fit in my pocket and be very light.

    but it should NEVER recieve incoming calls, thats just a nuisance and needless distraction.

    Why stop there? Here's what I expect in a cell phone (one that weighs less than 6 oz. too):

    camcorder

    MP3 player

    digital camera

    PDA

    Personal video player

    Personal tv

    Cellphone

    toothbrush and toothpaste

    shampoo AND conditioner

    toilet paper

    hairbrush

    credit cards

    week's worth of clothing

    golf clubs

    my car

    Chinese hooker

    Anyone who doesn't think these belong in a phone is simply a luddite who resists technological evolution.
