The Galaxy S Androphone is here

Samsung have released their latest Android smartphone, The Galaxy S GT-I9000, which runs in Android 2.1. This Samsung androphone has a 4-inch Super AMOLED display running at WVGA 800 x 480 resolution which increased the clarity and brightness of their flagship device.

The "Super" part about it makes the screen thinner, so if you hold the Galaxy S on its side, you'll be amazed at how slim it is. The screen delivers unparalleled display quality, with less reflection, free viewing angles and super-fast touch-response.

Samsung has its TouchWiz which is now up to version 3.0, together with a 5-megapixel autofocus camera and a 1GHz processor. The company’s own custom UI and ‘Social Hub’ provides always-on social networks connectivity allowing users to enjoy communications with their friends, colleagues, and families whenever they want and wherever they are.

The Galaxy S has 14GB of usable memory (2GB is used up by the system and a lot of the preloaded crap I had mentioned) and no microSD card. 14GB is great, but not for your media collection.

Other Key Features:

• Daily Briefing: Offers instant access to weather, news, stocks, and the scheduler.
• All Share: Enables inter-device connectivity via DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) technology.
• Home Cradle: Enables use as a digital photo frame, table clock, calendar, and music station.
• Write and go: Jot down an idea first and later decide on a format such as SMS/ MMS, email, calendar or memo.
• Swype: Provides fast and easy way to input text on screen while on-the-move.
• ThinkFree: Apps to view and edit Microsoft Office 2007 documents.
• Smart Alarm: Wakes up with a natural alarm sound and automatically turned-on display light.

“The Galaxy S is the perfect device for people in all corners of the world who want that extra edge; to be more effective, productive, better connected, and in tune with their smart life – both personal and professional – all in a very easy and simple way” said JK Shin, president and head of Samsung Electronics’ Mobile Communications Business.
