The (Korean) 3G (evdo) Mobile, Camera and Camcorder 9th January 2003 While color display models lead the Korean market this year, manufacturers will come out with a steady stream of new products that stress multimedia functions. For its part, Samsung Electronics has chosen to build a camcorder into its latest- concept mobile phone line, which will be aggressively marketed. Camera phones are limited to taking still pictures. However, the camcorder phone can shoot and store video and sound clips. In the first half of last year, Samsung Electronics unveiled the SCH-V300, an IMT-2000 mobile phone with camcorder function built in. This month, the company is introducing the SCH-V310, the first full-blown camcorder phone model. The SCH-V310 is capable of making 2-way video calls, supporting video on demand service or recording and storing video clips complete with sound. The main screen is a TFT-LCD that can reproduce 262,000 color shades, while a 256-color organic electro- luminescent (EL) display is placed on the outside. Samsung Electronics will also soon complete development of the SCH-V330 and SCH- V3000 camcorder phone models with even more sophisticated functions. The 300,000-pixel camera built into all these models features a 2-power zoom lens with nine settings. They can shoot and store up to 20 minutes of video clips with sound, and the video is played back on a high-quality TFT-LCD with a color gamut of 262,000. The user only has to press the shutter once to shoot clips at 11 frames a second. Kim Jong-In, the Senior Director of Product Planning Team at Samsung Electronics, says, "Mobile phone technology began with black & white display, and then evolved to color displays. Next-generation models had built-in cameras, and now camcorders are being built in. The market for these latest 'camcorder phones' will be initially formed this year, and we expect these models to make up 10-15% of the Korean mobile phone market in 2003." 3g.co.uk Photos at URL ========== 3G Mobile Camcorder 8th January 2003 Samsung Electronics of Korea is ready to introduce its first camcorder phone capable of recording and storing up to 20 minutes of multimedia clips - th 3G CDMA2000 1xEV-DO SCH-V310 Mobile / Camcorder. The Samsung SCH-V310 will have an integrated 300,000 pixel digital camera, featuring a two-power zoom lens with nine settings.

The main screen is a TFT-LCD that can reproduce 262,000 color shades, while a 256-color organic electro-luminescent display is placed on the outside. "Mobile phones have come a long way from black and white displays to color displays. Today, next- generation models have built-in cameras, and now built-in camcorders," said Samsung senior director Kim Jong-In. We believe the demand for camcorder phones will increase and account for 10 percent to 15 percent of the Korean mobile phone market by year-end, Kim said in a statement. 3g.co.uk ========== I recall a detractor's comments that 2-way video calls were not possible with 1xevdo.... I think it was KT ICOM's prez groping to fabricate a capability advantage for wCDMA in Korea! LOL!

Given today's response, do you think the street is starting to get it? Growth is there. Revenues will flow to Qualcomm as people upgrade phones to make use of the new services and from the cut they will get from BREW. ...As of end of 2001, the portion of wireless Internet revenue was less than 5 percent for major carriers.... The portion of wireless Internet revenues ... in 2002: SK Telecom (11.5 percent), KTF (10.5 percent) and LG Telecom (12 percent)... Some pretty impressive growth y/y. Jeff Vayda
