Perhaps one of the simplest mobile phones to show its sleek, proud face at the Consumer Electronics Show is the Sanyo S1 Palmtop. It can hold its own even in the face of the amazing and dazzling strides made in the world of wireless technology. The Sanyo S1 Palmtop is for those among us who believe in simplicity and desire a phone that geeks might consider primitive; one whose primary selling point is reliability in getting connected for voice and basic e-mail.

Sanyo’s goal is to provide to all consumers a more comfortable life; a life in harmony with the environment. The S1 Palmtop lives up to that standard with every little breath that it takes. It is ultra sleek and weighs only 2.5 ounces. It is just 11mm thin, wrapped in a silky, soft-touch finish and feels like it belongs in your hand. Despite its size, the S1 Palmtop boasts a robust 24mm speakerphone, integrated Bluetooth wireless technology, large, colorful LCD screen and a voice-activated Wireless Backup allows users to easily manage the phone’s contacts list in case the phone is lost, stolen or damaged.

The Sanyo S1 Palmtop is ultra-slim, stylish and sophisticated and reflects Sanyo’s commitment to becoming an indispensable element in the lives of people all over the world.

Are you travelling a lot? If you do, I am sure you will have to carry a lot of shirts, pants, socks and all that stuff that requires ironing and folding. Luckily, my wife does all that for me before my trips, but I wouldn’t let her fold my Samsung SPH-P9000 (if only I actually had one) because folding the latest gadget from Samsung is easy.

Running a full version of Win XP, this latest palmtop from the Korean electronic giant is simply awesome. With WiMax included in the package, surfing wirelessly is also a breeze. Add CDMA EV-DO technology on top of it and you can surf the web at the same time as making calls. The fold-out QWERTY keyboard means painless typing and easy e-mail access. Multimedia… you asked? How about MP3 player, access to video on demand services and a 1.3-megapixel camera. Everything goes into 30G hard disk, displayed on its five inch WVGA screen and only weighs a little over one pound.

Are you rushing to your nearest gadget store already? Wait....the SPH-P9000’s is only planned for launch in Korea in the first half of 2007. Worldwide release date? Unknown.
