Instinct

You know, I was really excited when I heard all the rumors that Samsung was releasing an “iPhone killer”…finally. So I start reading about the new Samsung Instinct and getting really excited about all the cool things it does like shown on this site.

Now coming from a Palm Treo 755, I am used to having a smartphone with all the bells and whistles so to have a company boast that their new product is an iPhone killer would mean that it’s a smartphone, right? Wrong. It’s a phone with a touch screen and a semi functional web browser. Eeh. Looks like I’m sticking with my current Treo until they finally get off their butts and make a new user interface while running linux…supposedly going to be released late last year. I don’t know why it would be so very hard for them to make a true iPhone killer.

* They already have a huge user base.
* They already have a touch screen OS with applications from all over the net.
* It plays music/videos/etc and even streams from the web (shoutcast.com)

Edit: I have seen a lot of activity on my site from people searching how to access shoutcast on the instinct.  Though I don’t own one, there are a lot of places out there reporting this problem.  The only solution I’ve heard of is by using Orb.  Here’s a link to a howto from people who actually got it to work.

The list goes on and on especially if you include the additional applications you can get from the web (like the ability to ssh into my server straight from my cell phone).

The truth of the matter is that their current and previous products have been doing what the iPhone does now, it just lacks the sex appeal.

I remember reading a review of the iPhone when it first came out and the reviewer was raving on and on about what the product can do. I proceeded to go down the checklist of the things that were claimed that it did and nothing else could. Yup, the Treo did those things.
