Review
It's becoming increasingly hard to classify the latest digital devices on the market. The new Samsung Digimax i6 is one such product. The Samsung Digimax i6 is a 6 megapixel digital still camera that, hold your breath, doubles up as a portable media player capable of playing movies and MP3s. What was Samsung thinking? Playing videos is somewhat understandable. But playing MP3s? Who in their right mind would want to play music on their camera? Source: http://www.mobilewhack.com/
