Samsung answers the iPhone (isn’t everyone?) with this Samsung SPH-M4650, a smartphone running Windows Mobile 6 that takes the touchscreen concept a step further while adding a dose of tacky design along the way. Its touch screen gives you haptic feedback, goosing you with a slight vibration when you touch an icon on its 2.8″ screen. The usual 2MP camera is on board, and its DMB TV tuner tells us this exact model isn’t headed for these shores. What we like best? Its 16mm thinness. Nice try, Samsung—almost iPhoney and a design that might be good enough for the gPhone.

Cnet is reporting that as part of Monday’s big press conference, Google will unveil their iPhone killer gPhone OS, tentatively codenamed Android. Sources are calling the OS a “a complete mobile-phone software stack” that will be followed shortly after by a SDK (Translation: this isn’t just an ad system and will have more than a bunch of lame web apps).
CNET affirms that the OS should be open-source and Linux based, but we shouldn’t expect to see it in stores soon. The number of companies involved (over 30) will make it difficult to move quickly on this. I’m just glad that this thing is moving out from the shadowy depths of rumorville.
