The Samsung miCoach

The cellular phones industry has advanced allot in the past few years.
Starting with just a piece of portable parts, it had the ability to provide wireless communications.

SMS ( Short Messaging Service ) came after that which was very much like the E-Mail( Electronic Mail ), but much shorter.
Music players started being built into cell phones then along with MMS( MultiMedia Messaging Service ) facilities, internet browsing

capabilities and they went to the extent of pushing in Cameras into cell phones.
You can do just about anything with a modern cell phone today, just about anything.
However, Samsung has now accomplished it all!
Samsung is all set to launch its new Fitness Focused phone. It has been named the miCoach (F110), the

quad band slider handset boasts of an inbuilt dedicated fitness button that once connected to a step

counter and a heart rate monitor will give you detailed information about your heart beat, distance

covered and time spent, while you’re out on a jog. It does not end at that, apart from allowing you to

record the information for future reference and also send it to a computer, it can give you real time

updates through the headphones, simply by tapping the screen!

    This phone has an inbuilt function of measuring and judging whether you’re running too fast or

too slow according to the fitness programme selected by you.
    The miCoach is expected to have over 200 different training programmes, accessible via a fitness

website ranging from programmes to help you lose weight or to train you and help you practice for

running a marathon. It will have the ability to measure your running speed within 4 zones to best suit

your training according to information collected through an initial assessment run.

Racing ahead of the Nike - Apple iPod partnership, Samsung Mobile has gone in with Adidas for this

offering. Users will get a heart rate monitor and step counter (called a footpod), upon purchasing the

handset.

The miCoach also boasts of 1 GB Memory for storing your songs to be played when you’re out exercising.
Just as if this wasn’t enough, the 2 mega pixel camera can help you record your whole work out for you to

see later, and judge how good it was.

Supporting this cause, Samsung mobile will be launching a website dedicated to miCoach users to help

them plan their jogs, track their progress and maintain a permanent diary of their work outs by entering

information into their online account and updating it regularly.
The miCoach is expected to hit the markets later next month, it is difficult to wait that long, but

well, do we have a choice?

However, fitness freaks looking for a similar technology like that in the miCoach, without the “phone”

element, will be extremely disappointed. A representative of Samsung Mobile said that they did not have

any plans of releasing the miCoach system without the phone element, at least not in the near future.

The wait is (almost) over. Just as we expected, Nokia N810 WiMAX has been announced from the CTIA floor. However, don’t expect it to hit the markets till summer, when it will be available in areas where WiMAX connectivity is available. No word whether the original N810 specs are changed or not (aside from WiMAX radio, of course).
In the other news, the Finish giant unveiled two new CDMA devices for the North America - Nokia 3606 and Nokia 1606. The first, more powerful one boasts a 1.3 megapixel camera with LED flash, stereo Bluetooth support, microSD slot. On the other hand, the 1606 model is the basic feature phone that neatly doubles as a flashlight, which will work even if the device is powered off. Both Nokia 3606 and Nokia 1606 are expected to be available in Q3 2008. No carrier partners have been announced.

I always thought the Sony Ericsson W910 is a special handset. As a matter of fact, I’ve called it the best non-smart musicphone for couple of times.
So I was not that surprised to learn that GSMA honored it with the Best Handset 2008 award. We’re not sure whether judges like the shake control, auto-rotate feature, 3D jave games or HSDPA — or everything that combined — it’s just the fact that the Swedish-Japanese handset maker has one of the best on-the-go entertainment devices in its portfolio. Yeah, we also suggest the W910 for those not looking to buy a smartphone, but an easy to use yet powerful music phone… Full release follows after the jump.

Last week Dusan wrote about an all black 6300 and there was only one picture available at the time. Chinese site ZOL has got the scoop with a device that looks like it came straight out of the factory and if you thought the original 6300 was handsome then you have to check out these shots.
The Nokia 6300 is a wildly successful product and was the number one revenue and profit generator for Nokia the last quarter.

There’s a rumor floating around the net about a new Sony Ericsson Z660i metallic clamshell.

First a drawing of SE Z660i appeared on Esato boards and then, what looks like an official press picture for the same handset turned up on a Thai (I think) site Se Sites.

 The previous N810 unboxing video was awesome because of the Sountrack the guy used, this one is awesome because the producer uses an awesome camcorder to get insane amounts of detail. WOM World, the PR Firm Nseries Hires that speaks exclusively to bloggers, recommended this video and I’m in full on agreement. There is also a 2 part video (1 and 2) done by the same guy where he compares the N810 to the N800. Personally I always thought the 770 was more handsome than the N800, but the N810 is clearly the new hottie on the block:

We thought it a little odd that an “exploding” cellphone battery could inflict the kind of physical damage that killed that South Korean quarry worker, who we only know as Seo (his last name). Broken ribs and spine aren’t the type of injuries we’d expect from a faulty mobile phone’s battery. And, with this breaking news, LG has been vindicated (and their assertion of the impossibility of an exploding mobile phone battery has been corroborated). It seems that Seo was not killed by his LG mobile phone’s battery, but rather by his co-worker’s drilling machine. The co-worker, identified only by his surname, Kwon, confessed today that he backed the drilling rig into Seo. He admitted to having fabricated the “exploding cellphone.” Kwon told Min Kang-gi, a detective in Chungju, that he used the cellphone battery as a diversion to throw off investigators.

Control many N95 application using the built in accelerometer . An awesome and magnificent idea particularly when applied to gaming…NOKMOTE N95 NOKIA SOFTWARE KINETIC.

What Nokia N95 can do besides giving you the communication function and the 5.0-megapixel shooter? Do you all know that the N95 has a built-in accelerometer sensor? This is what it can do, controlling an RC car. Andreas Jakl and Stephan Selinger have launched a ShakerRacer project which enabled RC car to be controlled via Nokia N95 using the sensor. They modified the RC car to accept Bluetooth instead of the proprietary wireless module which an RC car came with, and they also add in a microcontroller. On the mobile phone, a Python script translates the input of the acceleration sensor to commands the microcontroller in order to manage the steering servo and the main motor. Check out the demonstration after the jump.
