Linux Based Mobile Phone By Samsung

Samsung has launched  a new mobile phone which has an OS based on Linux. This phone is a first major linux based handset in recent times and is a bold step by Samsung. The phone called H1 and also another variant called M1 are being launched by Samsung in association with Vodafone and are currently being launched in U.K.

The H1 has a brilliant 3.5” WVGA AMOLED displaywith a host of other features which makes it an interesting option to look at. The features of fast HSDPA at 7.2 mbps and Wifi connectivity allow easy connectivity to net on the go. The special interface provides quick and easy access to social networking sites. Some of the other features include 5 MP camera, GPRS, GPS, Push email, HD video capability and media player with support of various media codecs. It has a 16 Gb of internal memory and slot for micro Sd card ( 16 Gb) to allow user to store different multimedia files.

The other set M1 has HSDPA, 3.2 TFT Touchscreen Display, Push email, 3 M.P. Camera and 1 Gb of rxpandable memory. This set would be available in 3 colour variants.

The advantages of a Linux based OS are also there. The LiMo is more flexible , broader focus than other exisitng operating systems. All the advantages of linux also apply here. It would be interesting to see how this Os puts up against the existing market leaders. Is this going to intensify the race to best OS or will the exisitng OS still rule the roost ? Another question is how will samsung justify its use of different OS in different phones and convince users that both are worth spending on.
