Commack, NY--Though Samsung may believe that high-rate wireless using mobile WiMAX is the future, powering those multimedia, connect-anywhere devices is a problem it is tackling right now by exploring more advanced technologies.
Speaking at yesterday's annual Samsung Mobile Summit in New York, Muzibul Khan, vice president of product management and engineering at Samsung Telecommunications America (STA) (Richardson, TX) said that handsets must move to more-efficient power amplifiers, OLED-based displays and next-generation power sources such as fuel cells or advanced polymers. He said Samsung is exploring all these options and predicted that it will likely have fuel cells in its handsets by the end of 2007.
So armed, Khan believes handsets will be better able to handle the sorts of applications he envisions being enabled through mobile WiMAX-based high-rate connectivity, including peer-to-peer video sharing, real-time video streaming and entertainment, push-to-all (talk, audio, video and images) and a host of personalized features such as My Co-pilot and My Music.
