If you thought the phone + media player convergence device had just about reached its peak, take a look at the new Pantech IM-U410. This jam-packed mobile phone has a Sidekick-like shape with a screen that slides up for comfortable table-top viewing. The 2.6-inch 262k color QVGA screen can also be used to watch digital TV with the integrated DMB receiver. If the screen feels too small, you can use the TV-out feature to watch it on a bigger TV.
The media features include MP3 and video playback from the stereo speakers, and it also has an FM transmitter to beam the music to your car stereo! The phone includes a heavy duty 3-megapixel digital camera that's completed by PictBridge support for direct printing without using a PC. Memory card or Bluetooth support isn't mentioned, but in a phone so feature-rich, it should be one of the most basic specs. You want it? Wait for a few years as this is cutting-edge Korean stuff only!
