Meet the H1’s little brother
The LiMo Foundation has announced the official arrival of the Samsung M1 handset, baby brother to the H1, which provides a more affordable way to get a hold of the Vodafone 360 service.
Announced in September, the Vodafone 360 service is a Linux-based OS created by the LiMo foundation. Its party tricks include the ability to turn back time to view previous communications on a certain date, a contacts database that synchronises all of your social networks and an automated back-up of all your contacts, photos and emails online.
The M1 comes with a 3.2 TFT touchscreen, 1GB internal storage (expandable through a microSD card slot), HSDPA internet, integrated GPS, push email and a 3.0-megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom.
With significantly less impressive specs than the H1, we expect the M1 to have a much more wallet-friendly price tag, which Vodafone hopes will expand the number of people using its new OS. Unfortunately, the network is yet to reveal the release date or the price.
According to the LiMo Foundation the arrival of the M1 will bring the number of “commercially available LiMo-based handsets” to 44, though the number actually carrying Vodafone 360 in the UK is much lower.
