Galaxy Samsung I5801, a completely new model, appears in video
I hope you forgive me this metaphor so common, but the effectiveness of the range multiplicatoria "Galaxy" Samsung begins to remind me more and more of a couple of hares in full time zeal.
Without a doubt the incursion of this South Korean company in the Android system has not been more successful (than just the HTC and Motorola, and within walking distance) because in a period less than a years has launched its range of handsets "Galaxy" (Samsung Samsung Galaxy Galaxy and Spica) and announced his impending renewal (Samsung Galaxy S). Today we see a new video component of the Galaxy branch, the Samsung I8501, which has not yet been neither formally introduced.
In fact the specifications of this device have been filtering through the network since late April and to see this new video also appreciate so many, so we know that this is a device with a capacitive screen has a resolution of 240 x 480 px. (Is SuperAMOLED?) Approximation sensors, tactile buttons, 3.5mm headphone jack port, 3 Mpx camera, FM radio and WiFi connectivity and Bluetooth 3.0.
The video, which is available even in HD 1080p is as follows:
The Samsung I8501 Galaxy would therefore be a terminal half-way between the Galaxy and Galaxy Spica S , probably then known as Spica Galaxy 2, but this was not known until the official presentation. What do you think about you?

LookTel, a great application for people with visual disabilities
Is not the first time we met with applications developed to assist people with visual disabilities, remember that Nokia recently talked about Braille Reader but LookTel deserves a space in our blog for its various possibilities.
Describe its operation is simple, allows us to recognize objects with the camera phone, while informing us what the object using a voice synthesizer.
As we can see in the video that begins the story, the identification is almost instantaneous, for it must first recognize objects and create a database with which to work. To function requires a computer connected wirelessly to the phone, since it is installed sophisticated recognition software.
In conducting the capture of an object can enter the same information via voice, play will be what the application to find the item. In the example of the video shows how you can create labels that can incorporate objects, and thus may further customize our searches.
The application is designed for Windows Mobile, and away from the idea of Google Goggles, which feeds its database in the cloud by all users, here we will do a somewhat personalized.
Interesting to note that the voice synthesizer will also help us to read texts to find thanks to the handwriting recognition (OCR) that it possesses.
Is not quite achieved if we use it to read a book as one can sense in the show, but will give a sometimes necessary accessibility to people with difficulties. In this respect the Google guys are too advanced to work on the translation in different languages in real time.
Another possibility, which I consider somewhat more complicated depending on the quality of the camera, brand recognition and articles abroad, in the video test is performed on the street, in which the application recognizes no problems a couple of establishments by the same logo.
Finally, we say that the application is governed by a tactile interface fully accessible, so that when we move our finger through the options, describe the same route voice. If we press one of them, simply double-click.
The development company is also working to link its technology with GPS systems so that they can make these services accessible to people with visual disabilities. For them, the mobile phone is the ideal element to develop the work, to have all the necessary hardware elements.
