connectivity. The smartphone also allows 720p HD video recording with
the rear camera, as well as video calling over Wi-Fi with its

Samsung Galaxy Note
Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Note on Monday and announced its launch in the U.S. on AT&T's network.

provides a bright, rich, colorful viewing experience, according to the
company.
The inclusion of the S Pen, a fast and responsive
stylus, an input tool that allows users to create fine lines and details
on the device's display, much like an ink pen and a pad of paper, will
be an added attraction to smartphone users.

microSD card. The device is powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, has
a 2 megapixel front-facing camera and an 8 megapixel rear-facing
