Korean-handset maker Samsung today announced its Omnia (SGH-i900), a business device running on Windows Mobile 6.1 with Microsoft Office (PowerPoint, Excel and Word). The Omnia has an ultra-slim 12.5mm design. The centerpiece is a 3.2-inch WQVGA (240 x 400 px) touch screen from Synaptics. With haptics, vibrations give users feedback when the display is touched. Tap, sweep, drag and drop operations let consumers navigate through the TouchWiz UI. An accelerometer auto-rotates the display when tilted on the side. A trackpad and on-screen QWERTY keyboard are included as well.

The Omnia comes with a built-in 5.0-megapixel CMOS camera with auto-focus, facial and smile detection, auto-panorama shot and image stabilizer. Internal memory configurations of 8 or 16GB are expandable with microSD memory cards. Internet access is fast with up to 7.2Mbps on HSDPA and Wi-Fi. An FM tuner and GPS reception are standard for navigation and geo-tagging.The Samsung Omnia will be launched in Southeast Asia starting late June with European sales starting in July.
