Samsung's INNOV8 through FCC with US-friendly 3G

-
The Samsung i8510 InnoV8 is a high-end Symbian S60 smartphone packing Wi-Fi, GPS, and an 8 MPx camera. While it has been assumed since its European launch that this device would not be available on North American shores due to its lack of the 3G frequencies for this region, a listing on FCC changes that.

This government agency has approved a version of the i8510 with North American UMTS/HSDPA support, as noted on its website.

Samsung InnoV8 is a slider-based smartphone with a QVGA (240 by 320 pixel) screen and numeric keypad, the Samsung i8510 comes with Symbian S60 Feature Pack 2 (v3.2) and a host of hardware and software that makes it one of the most feature-packed devices available.

In addition to the aforementioned Wi-Fi, GPS, and 8 megapixel camera, this model features 16 GB of internal memory, a microSDHC card slot, built-in FM tuner, 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack, support for Bluetooth Stereo, and an optical mouse.

The Euro-version of the i8510 retails for about $600 and can be purchased at many online retailers.

The World's Smallest and Lightest DSLR

The Olympus E-420 has a lot of tech packed into its relatively small package. People who don't know much about photography but are dying to learn will love certain features, such as the "Perfect Shot" preview, which shows you four white balance alternatives at the same time, so you can pick the most realistic option; it does the same live previewing for exposure settings too. Olympus added face detection to the camera this time around, a popular point-and-shoot option making its way into the DSLRs. Many pictures turn out great. High ISO shots, up to 1600, look fantastic, without any noticeable noise. It may be the smallest, the lightest, the cheapest and even the highest-tech, but it's not the fastest, and in this competition, speed matters one hell of a lot.

The LED light source must generate fair whack of heat, since the phone is punched full of holes at the projector end, presumably so that it doesn't collapse into a molten heap of parts.
