Samsung has three simple new handsets all the way, donning the mantle of an equally simple-yet-deadly creature. The Shark S5350, Shark 2 S5550, and Shark 3 S3550 are all geared towards media-hungry and social-networking types, with Facebook, MySpace, and Bebo functions built right in. Flickr, Picasa, Photobucket and YouTube integration also allows quick picture and video sharing. What differentiates each handset? The Shark S5350 is a metal candybar with a 3.2 megapixel camera and multi-platform instant messaging client; the Shark 2 S5550 is a slider with an AMOLED screen, 5 megapixel camera and incorporates Kevlar (!) in the construction; the Shark 3 S3550 is also a slider, and has a third soft key, but only rocks a 2 meagpixel camera. Not bad looking handsets for the feature phone crowd. The whole batch will be available in January, which is quickly coming to a close, so keep your eyes open.

And I thought I’d never get to use this graphic again.

The upper-end of the microSDHC category has been reached! Samsung has announced that they’re working on 32 GB memory cards, which will be good news to media hogs who have long capped out 16 GB cards on their mobile phones. This is the first microSD card to hit 32 GB, and is the last denomination before moving to the microSDXC format, which will handle 32 GB – 2 TB. I talked with the SD association at CES this year, and it seems unlikely that we’ll have any micro cards breaking into 32 GB in the next six months (maybe something late next year, if I had to guess). That should at least give manufacturers some time to update their hardware to support XC. Samsung also announced that they’ll have a new 64 GB designation of their moviNAND memory, clocking in at 30-nm and 0.7mm high. The first 32 GB cards will be commercially available after mass production kicks in around February.
