Samsung Creating The World’s First 3-inch WVGA (480 x 800) OLED
October 10, 2007
Can you imagine having a 3-inch WVGA (480 x 800) OLED screen on your mobile phone? 480 x 800 resolution on a cell phone is just astounding, and you can be rest assured that I will be buying whatever device they put that sucker in.
Until now, the market has been stuck with putting QVGA screens in handheld devices for quite some time. None of the manufacturers have been able to break the barrier. It appears right now that mass production will start in the fall of 2008, so look forward to some freaking sick games for your cell phones.
Spammers Permitted To Send Unsolicited Bluetooth Messages In The U.K.
October 10, 2007
In the U.K., the Information Commissioner’s Office evaluated its rules and determined that Bluetooth was not currently covered with its anti-spam laws. This means that spammers could very easily send unsolicited messages to mobile phones there. Many have speculated that the ICO will simply rewrite the rules, but it doesn’t seem like it’s going to be much of a priority.
What’s a spammer going to do? Drive around with a Bluetooth station spamming one person at a time? Since Bluetooth isn’t really a protocol with mass deliverability, it’s doubtful that many spammers will find the ‘Bluetooth cell phones spam’ option worthwhile. I think they’ll stick to the illegal methods.
