Samsung Latest To Unveil WiFi Mobile Phone

Wi-Fi-enabled mobile phones are seen as having potential to spread mobile Web use by giving phone users more options and price points for that connectivity. Wi-Fi could offer a more cost effective way for users to access the Web from mobile devices by minimizing the air time used to go online.

Staking its claim to leadership in the converging worlds of mobile computing, Web browsing and cellular communications, Samsung has become the latest handset vendor to roll out a WiFi-enabled phone.
Samsung said it will make its SPH-M4300 available in its home market of Korea later this month. In addition to being able to access the Web via WiFi Internet connections, the device features a 1.3-megapixel camera and a 2.8-inch LCD and will run on the Pocket PC operating system made by Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT) .
Samsung has taken to testing products in Korea before rolling them out onto the worldwide market, something it is eager to do to keep and gain market share in an increasingly competitive environment.
