Samsung's New Mobile Phone Storage:
Cornice
 By
John Stith
Longmont, Colorado-based Cornice Inc. announced in January a new deal inked with
Samsung for their 3 gigabyte Storage Element (SE) in the production of Samsung's
SGH-i300 embedded music smartphone.
The phone was announced at the CeBIT 2005 and hit European shelves in November
2005. The phone will cover audio, video, personal storage and traditional voice
communications all in one device. Cornice
has already provided for other Samsung
phones including the SPH-V5400 with the 1.5-gigabyte Cornice SE and their SPH-V7900
video camera phone, 3.0-gigabyte Cornice SE.
"The Samsung i300 represents the beginning of a new generation of phones
designed to bring a unique user experience to the cellular market," said Kevin
Magenis, chief marketing officer and co-founder at Cornice. "One device is now
capable of replacing a standard phone, a digital still camera, a digital video
camera, an MP3 jukebox, a PDA, and a USB personal storage stick -- all in a familiar
and comfortable hand-held phone form factor. As a primary focus market for Cornice,
we are leading the way in both feature innovation and system level integration
for next generation mobile phone products."
Cornice's storage is a natural fit for the mobile phone market, offering both
the thinnest available storage solution, which is important for compact-sized
mobile phones, and the extreme durability of Crash Guard(TM) technology, which
is crucial to the consumer. The Cornice SE is able to withstand even the most
extreme abuses of the mobile phone environment, such as accidental drops or excessive
physical activities, without skipping, stopping or corrupting data.
Samsung's SGH-i300 is capable of storing up to 1,000 music files, plus all your
personal data using Samsung's unique 'Plug & Play Files-to-go' feature, which
also allows the phone to function as a storage device. Consumers can easily transfer
files to and from their computers, as well as store files in any format on the
phone through a USB 2.0 port.
The i300 is based on the Windows Mobile operating system, which enables users
to download music from online music services and from OTA music services provided
by mobile operators. It also features 3D sound, a 1.3 mega-pixel camera, video
recording and messaging, and a Bluetooth stereo headset connection.
Samsung, which captured 13.8 percent of the world's 2004 mobile phone market share
according to In-Stat, is the leading innovator in the high-capacity mobile phone
market. To date, Samsung is the only mobile phone provider to launch hard drive-based
mobile phones into the market, which is projected by Gartner Dataquest to reach
more than 28 million units worldwide in 2007.
