Android has been slow to get rolling. After launching on a phone that looked like a prototype, appearing then disappearing as Aussie vaporware, then getting yet another HTC incarnation, it’s been hard to justify the hype.
But now some of the majors are finally getting onboard. Samsung announced its own Android-based handset with the I7500, which will bring some more complementary hardware to the snappy OS.
That begins with a 3.2-inch OLED touch screen – the same tech Samsung just used for the attractive Impression smartphone it unwrapped at CTIA. It offers better brightness, contrast, and efficiency than the LCD equivalent. And in part because OLED screens are so thin, the I7500 will measure just 11.8mm thick.
