Samsung Electronics will present the latest model in its popular&#160;Ultra edition range of cell phones&#160;at the Mobile World Congress exhibition in Barcelona next week.The phone, dubbed &quot;Soul,&quot; is a slider-type handset that with an eye-catching touch panel under the display. The panel displays navigation icons that change according to the current application being run on the handset. For example, in camera mode icons such as zoom and brightness appear while music player functions appear in music mode.The quad-band GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) handset supports data downloads of up to 7.2Mbps&#160;over HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) networks and also has Bluetooth 2.0 wireless networking.Other features include a 5-megapixel camera with face detection and image stabilizer, FM radio with RDS (Radio Data System) and a music system based on technology from Bang &amp; Olufsen.The phone will be available worldwide and hit Europe in April.Samsung&#39;s Ultra line has proved a hit with style-conscious consumers. All phones in the range emphasize thinness and the new Soul handset is no different at 12.9 millimeters thick. But it&#39;s nowhere near as slim as the Ultra 5.9 handset that Samsung unveiled this time last year in Barcelona. The candy bar phone, as the name suggests, is just 5.9 millimeters thick.

(InfoWorld) - Samsung Electronics is sampling a new type of flash memory device that could make it easier for makers of mobile phones and MP3 players to increase the storage capacity of their products. Samsung's moviNAND devices combine a NAND flash memory chip, an MMC (multimedia card) controller, and some firmware into a component that's small enough to be used in the latest portable electronics products, the company said. Samsung has started shipping samples of 1GB and 2GB moviNAND chips to manufacturers and will begin mass producing them later this month. It plans to introduce 512MB and 4GB capacities by the end of this year, it said. MoviNAND solves allows device makers to include a large amount of flash memory in their products while still using a standard serial interface, the company said. "The significance of the MMC interface is that the complexities of the native NAND interface and management are completely abstracted from the [portable device]," Samsung spokesman John Lucas said via e-mail. In addition, the MMC interface performance better than other standard interfaces because it has an 8-bit wide bus, allowing data to be processed at up to 52MB per second, he said. NAND flash has become popular for its ability to store large amounts of data at relatively low cost and to retain that data when devices are switched off. It's used in memory sticks, memory cards and digital music players such as Apple Computer's iPod. Other NAND makers include Toshiba, Hynix Semiconductor, and IM Flash Technologies. It's one of several recent flash memory advancements from Samsung. On Monday the South Korean companyÂ showed off a 32GB NAND flash memory chipÂ built using an advanced, 40-nanometer manufacturing process.
