Samsung i7500/Galaxy Android Handset
Not exactly breaking news here but thought I would throw out a video, courtesy of Tech65 on YouTube, showing off the Samsung i7500 “Galaxy.” No harm in seeing other implementations on Android with the myTouch coming out soon and the Hero already out (in the UK, anyways). While there’s no word what U.S. Carrier may/will pick this up seeing another handset running Android is always a good thing. Oh, and that’s an AMOLED screen you’re looking at.
For those who don’t know, AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode), Active matrix displays stack cathode, organic, and anode layers on top of another layer – or substrate – that contains circuitry. The pixels are defined by the deposition of the organic material in a continuous, discrete “dot” pattern. Each pixel is activated directly: A corresponding circuit delivers voltage to the cathode and anode materials, stimulating the middle organic layer. AM OLED pixels turn on and off more than three times faster than the speed of conventional motion picture film – making these displays ideal for fluid, full-motion video. – http://www.oled-display.net/what-is-amoled
