Found under: Sprint, Samsung, Instinct, Mini, S30, Dumbphone,
Samsung Instinct Mini is now official and it isnt looking too bad to tell you the truth. No specs are known currently but that should soon change.
The Instinct Mini is officially called the Samsung Instinct S30 as you can see the size of this phone looks really compact and out togethetr so if both Sprint and Samsung are able to shy away from mentioning the Mini as in the same or better league than the iPhone then it might fair well compared to the first Instinct.

While conventional wisdom holds that location represents the next evolution of mobile advertising, the industry is still some distance away from a truly localized mobile ad model, according to a panel of experts addressing the subject at Tuesday’s Mobile Entertainment Live! event in Las Vegas. Even as national brands continue to earmark a growing percentage of their adspend on the mobile channel, there is little momentum behind mobile campaigns targeting specific geographic footprints despite user demand for content like local weather, news and sports. “We haven’t seen the local merchant move into mobile,” said Clay Kellogg, director of business development for mobile advertising marketplace AdMob. “It’s still a big step to get to local merchants leveraging mobile.”
Mobile advertising is nevertheless creating a connection between brands and consumers, the panel agreed. Kellogg cited the results of a recent AdMob campaign for the LandRover automobile brand: In addition to 45,000 mobile video downloads and 7400 wallpaper downloads, the mobile effort inspired 1,100 wireless subscribers to contact their local LandRover dealership.
Also nurturing the growth of mobile advertising: Smartphone penetration. “If you’re an advertiser, there’s a halo effect that comes with advertising on devices people are in love with,” said Cheryl Lucanegro, vice president of advertising with digital music service provider Pandora, specifically nodding to the consumer cachet enjoyed by Apple’s iPhone. “The iPhone is the first time that brands started looking at mobile phones differently,” agreed T.J. Person, senior vice president of mobile strategy for GMR Marketing.

Digital Trends readers know full well that when it comes to true high-def video, we believe nothing beats a “real” camcorder, not one of those funky small models (that means you Sanyo and Flip Video – or should we say Cisco). Although DSLRs like the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, just announced EOS Rebel T1i and Nikon D90 can record HD, they are more cumbersome, and have auto focusing issues that are problematic. Don’t get us wrong: every technology has its place. But if you just want to record top-quality home videos, HD camcorders are the way go. Until this year, they cost a ton, turning off lots of buyers. Now, Sony has broken the magic $600 level with the $599 AVCHD Flash Memory Handycam HDR-CX100. It offers a 10x zoom, a 2.3MP CMOS chip, 8GB of onboard flash memory and loads of other goodies. Let’s see how this one plays out, shall we?

Although new devices and operating systems are yielding new opportunities for mobile entertainment, an old problem–fragmentation–continues to pose significant challenges for content providers, according to MTV Networks’ EVP of digital distribution Greg Clayman. Speaking Tuesday at the Mobile Entertainment Live! event in Las Vegas, Clayman said MTV is seeing major growth in mobile video, stating that U.S. consumers downloaded more than 100 million mobile clips in 2008, roughly double the previous year’s total. In addition, mobile web traffic continues to increase, and MTV also has sold hundreds of thousands of premium applications developed for Apple’s iPhone. “The apps business prior to the iPhone was a tough business for us,” Clayman said, citing the expense of porting applications to multiple device platforms.
According to Clayman, MTV is now focusing the majority of its application development efforts on smartphones, although the firm continues to consider the feature phone population in its mobile web development. “There’s a lot more [feature phones] can do on the web, and we’re building more interactivity into those sites,” he said.
Media platform fragmentation also presents continuing challenges for companies like MTV. “TV viewing is up this year, and cable subscriptions are up. Online viewing is also growing,” Clayman said. “The problem is that it’s all very separate. It’s measured separately, and it’s hard to put all of it together.” The evolution to multi-screen content distribution and consumption nevertheless represents the future of entertainment, Clayman said: “We’re now in a world where it doesn’t matter where you view a piece of content–as long as it grows the overall market, we don’t care where people are watching it.”
