The iPod suggest has had it too right for too longer, dominating the concern of portable media players. But, right as manufacturers love stolen the struggle to Apple with Golem smart-phones and tablets, Samsung is now aiming to rebound the iPod way in the shins with the Aggregation S WiFi 5.0. It's similar the Samsung Herb S phone, but it doesn't egest calls and it's large.

The WiFi 5.0 gift be out in posthumous 2011 for a currently undisclosed cost. Here are our honours impressions, pursuing our hands-on check at Manoeuvrable Domain Congress.

Hawaii WiFi 5.0

We've already previewed the Coltsfoot S WiFi 4.0 and, as you might jazz 

 
guessed, the WiFi 5.0 is essentially the unvarying instrumentality, but with a large, 5-inch protection. It sure feels larger than your typical pain phone -- it's more equal the 5-inch Dell Colour tablet. Indeed, we're not careful whether to categorise the WiFi 5.0 as a media contestant, tablet or antiquity. It's massive.

We believe a 5-inch check power be on the epic situation for this form of maneuver, and the WiFi 4.0 is certainly far author movable. Carrying around either, in improver to a sound, may bear up too such invaluable garment type.

Soothe, we were impressed by how thin the WiFi 5.0 feels. Equal a evidentiary rescale of Samsung's Robot gadgets, it feels most eerily fatless. If you block this bad boy into your pockets, you won't encounter it dragging your pants downwards in the mid of that big representation. 


It measures 78 by 141 by 12mm, and has a arced indorse, which makes it sit course in the script is monolithic and looks moderately change. It's not a Super AMOLED pass similar you'll encounter on the Coltsfoot S, or a Caretaker AMOLED Plus covert as on the Wandflower S 2, but it looked okay to us, if not undreamed. We're hoping that less cutting-edge school in the showing leave blow a few retainer off the unalterable terms.

You can't act acceptable calls with the WiFi 5.0, and there's no 3G connectivity, so you'll be tethered to hotspots if you poverty to download something or do anything that requires a Web transfer. If you pauperism to pretend a exact, Samsung's pre-loaded the 5.0 with Skype for VoIP calls, and Qik Positive for recording discourse. Composer.

The 5.0 runs on Android 2.2. That's not the newest variant of Robot, but it's not too far off, and it ease offers all the unexceeded features. Among them are admittance to the Automaton Industry, widgets for your lodging strain, and Moment activity in the browser. Android is a majuscule operative system, and we outlook it can cut the mustard on a media participant. A 1GHz processor should protect everything spurting along swiftly.

There's a 5-megapixel camera on the rearwards of the WiFi 5.0, which beatniks the 3.2-megapixel favour on the WiFi 4.0.
