Finally, a cameraphone that works with Sprint PCS that we might consider buying: the SPH-A600 from Samsung. Like nearly every Samsung cellphone, the A600 has the clamshell design we're partial to, a 260,000 color screen that rotates and flips around, and a swiveling built-in camera with 4x digital zoom.

Samsung's new camcorder phone

Samsung's new camcorder phone 11/06/2003 03:00 AM
Just got word of a new camcorder phone from Samsung that can record up to two hours of video. But it gets even better. The SCH-V410 can also double as a remote control for a TV or DVD player, take still digital pictures (with flash), and play music stored on it without having to open up the phone. It also has a 262,000 color internal LCD screen, an external OLED screen, and support for video-on-demand services. The V410 is just for the South Korean market, but Samsung is planning to make a PCS version of it called the SPH-V4300 which could conceivably be sold here in the US....

The phone itself is nothing much to look at (just look at the keypad), but we hear good things about Palm OS 5.

Samsung's First Photo Printer

Samsung's First Photo Printer 06/24/2005 04:00 PM

It's so slow today that we're reduced to writing about printers. The Samsung SPP-2040 and SPP-2020 are thermal transfer printers that firmly place the Korean giant among such greats as Lexmark and HP. These 1-photo-per-minute printers don't use inkjets. Instead, the heads burn a thin film of color for waterproof and age-proof—call me in 50 years, Samsung, and we'll see how age-proof they are—prints.

They're pricey, at least in the UK, in the $300-$400 range, I'll reckon. And they're shiny and silver. We also didn't write the nasty headline you'll find below. We would have used something much more tasteless.

Patents are obviously patented

Patents are obviously patented 02/10/2004 02:55 AM
In a surprise move, the US Patent Office has granted a patent which patents the patent office itself!

Hehe. Actually, the patent is meant to patent the concept of "digital ownership", i.e. the idea that you can "own" things in online multiplayer games. The patent is just so broad that it covers pretty much any database, including the patent database.

This is another example on how the USPTO has just thrown its hands up in the air and basically says "accept them all and let courts sort them out." This is an example on so many countless things that have gone wrong with the system I can't even be bothered to enumerate them anymore... Let me just begin with the notion that the idea of ownership could be patented at all, and end up with how big companies can use this to trounce upon the smaller ones, and you can imagine the rant between those yourself.

Has HP Patented Refilling Ink?

Has HP Patented Refilling Ink? 03/28/2005 06:33 PM
In a case that sounds somewhat reminiscent of Lexma rk's (failed) attempts to use intellectual property law to block the competition, HP has decided to sue two companies that offer refilled ink cartridges for their printers. The ink business, of course, is big business -- with ink costing more than vintage champagne or high end perfume (depending on whose study you want to read). HP claims that they have nothing against customers choosing to buy refilled cartridges, but they have problems with these two refilling companies. The first one is accused of patent violations, which seems like an odd issue. The details (buried all the way at the end of the article) say the patents are about the type of ink -- which seems bizarre. Even more bizarre is that HP seems to make it very clear in the filing that if the three patents they've picked out don't stick, they have another 9,000 to choose from (which sounds eerily like IBM's patent attack on Sun years ago: "OK, maybe you don't infringe these seven patents. But we have 10,000 U.S. patents. Do you really want us to go back to Armonk and find seven patents you do infringe? Or do you want to make this easy and just pay us $20 million?"). The other claim makes a bit more sense, as HP says the second firm is packaging the refilled cartridges as if they were new -- which could lead to consumer confusion. Still, these lawsuits do seem like a simple attempt to scare off certain ink refillers.

Samsung's Olympic Gold Phones

Samsung's Olympic Gold Phones 08/09/2004 07:27 AM

To commemorate the Olympic Games, sponsor Samsung Electronics has released 1000 special edition "Gold Premium Phones" (models SCH-E470, SPH-E3200, and SPH-E3250) and auctioned them online. The first lot of six phones has been bid up to over one million won (around $12,000). The phones themselves are not actually gold, except for a rim around the LCD monitor, but do have the emblem of the Athens Olympics inscribed as well as special serial numbers that make them worth money in the increasingly popular world of cell phone collectables.

All proceeds of the auctions are to be given to an Olympic athlete who doesn't get a medal but still leaves a "great impression or delivers deep emotions" to the Koreans, who will vote for their favorite loser online.

Samsung's VC-RP30W Robotic Vacuum

Samsung's VC-RP30W Robotic Vacuum 12/02/2003 12:23 AM
Several News agencies such as MobileMag have declared: Samsung Unveils High-tech Robot Vacuum Cleaner Samsung's robotic vacuum cleaner, identified as VC-RP30W, vacuums your house the smart way: it makes a 3D map and knows which areas of your house needs cleaning. This is contrary to a recent article that says mapping less is better. This is also contrary to popular robotic vacuums that just bounce around your house unwittingly with hopes of eventually vacuuming all the floor. This robot is no dummy. The battery life lasts about 50 minutes a charge and when the battery gets low, it goes back automatically to the charging station for a recharge. You can program it to your desired start times to start when you're away, and you can even monitor the vacuum from work doing its work with an internet connection and its internal camera. With all this robotic intelligence and obvious great design and crafting, you can guess why there's no mention of price or availability yet, but with camera, internet connection, charging station, etc, I don't expect it to be as cheap as a Roomba but at least it's got to be some kind of world's first great vacuum cleaning robot for Samsung!

Stopping Spam Patented (Again)

Stopping Spam Patented (Again) 06/02/2004 10:10 AM
Earlier this year, we noted that Postini had receive d a patent for the incredibly obvious concept of anti-spam filtering. Well, it looks like they may be in for some competition, because Network Associates/McAfee has now been awarded a patent for an idea that (sarcasm alert) no one could have possibly come up with prior to December 2002 when they applied for it: us ing a combination of methods such as "filters, paragraph hashing, and Bayes rules" to stop spam. What this really means is that there are now going to be anti-spam patent battles which will slow down the process of stopping spam, and do no one any good, other than a few lawyers who will get rich. Why can't these companies just compete in the marketplace? Still, it would be great if, at some point, AT&T finally made it clear why they patented spamming itself last year.

Now It Turns Out That Burning CDs Is
Patented As Well 12/15/2003 09:21 PM
Because the day just isn't complete unless another silly patent lawsuit is filed, Optima Technology now believes that they own a patent on CD-burning and are suing Roxio for refusing to license their patent. This fits in with plenty of other patent lawsuits that have been showing up recently which clearly demonstrate just how off-course our patent system has become. The purpose of a patent is to protect and encourage innovation. The idea behind CD-burning is not innovative, and Roxio didn't come along and steal the idea from Optima. There are simply too many cases these days of some company sitting on a patent until someone else discovers the same thing and then suing them. How that "encourages" innovation is beyond me. Meanwhile, Optima says they basically plan to sue anyone who has anything to do with CD burning unless they all come running to license the patent.

trademarked, patented shrubbery

trademarked, patented shrubbery 05/23/2004 12:19 PM

As I'm planting my front yard, I'm doing a lot of research on various plants and trees. One tree that caught my eye for one spot is this Ri ver Birch. But the wacky thing about it is that the name is a registered trademark and it also carries this warning "Propagation of this plant is prohibited due to patent protection."

Patented garden plants? I suddenly had visions of a sci-fi future where Johnny Appleseed works for Monsanto, and you're not allowed to eat the apples or graft new trees since it's all copyrighted, patented, and trademarked up the wazoo.

I think I'll get a different tree for that spot.

Samsung's Updated YEPP YP-ST5 Flash

Good morning, friends. I had a great time in Virginia this weekend, although as is typical at a LAN I played videogames for about 2 hours and drank for about 8 each day (not that this is necessarily in error). That being said, I'm glad to be back, so I can talk about things like this update to the Samsung YP-T5 "World's Smallest" YP-T5 flash player, the YP-ST5. Although the form factor is pretty much the same, the battery life has been bumped from 8 hours of playback to 20, USB 2.0 support is in, and an updated firmware (around August or so) will add OGG Vorbis support.

Also, reheated fried calamari has the delicate taste and texture of a cockring. Take the necessary flavor precautions.

Samsung is the latest company to use gold and diamonds on a piece of electronics, this time coming on the "YP-W3L." It's somewhat difficult to tell where the gold and diamonds are on the thing, but frankly, I like it more that way. Samsung didn't really skimp on the features, either: it's probably one of the first mainstream players I've seen that does MP3, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, WAV and ASF. Not that anyone actually uses ASF, but you know what I mean. There's an FM radio somewhere in there too. Available up to 1GB, according to infoSyncworld.
