Samsung InTouch Is another Android-based HD Webcam with Skype
Did you catch our article about the TelyHD? The device, a standalone webcam for use with an HD television set, is about to get some competition. Samsung is jumping into the ring with their own Android-based Skype machine for living room video calls. There are some differentiating factors to consider, including Samsung’s choice to use Android 2.3 (the TelyHD runs Android 2.2) and the inclusion of a palm-sized QWERTY keyboard for surfing the web and firing off a few emails. The TelyHD does benefit from a larger storage capacity of 2GB compared to the InTouch’s 512MB.
Samsung’s unit will arrive in March at a price of $199.99, $50 less than the already-available TelyHD. We’ll be on the lookout for more information and some one-on-one time with the InTouch as we make the CES rounds this week.
