One thing which disappointed many Jet users is the limited amount of RAM that Samsung employed in the infamous smarter-than-smartphone Jet. Simply browsing a web site with very heavy content via the bundled Dolphin web browser will stop your current session and pop up a message indicating memory resource is low and you no longer able to continue with your current work, which is = =”. And the same happens when you open few applications at the same time, say a music player, Google maps, and message editor. Samsung is smart for not advertising the amount of RAM for this “smartphone”. Many were guessing the amount of RAM in their Jet(in Facebook and Darkforest); from as low as 16MB to a whopping 256MB.

Instant Messenger Robot demoed at International Robot Show in Taipei August 5, 2009
It is not something really new, as this fully utilized the speech recognition technology. However, this piece of Pokemon (well, it sure looks like one from that famous anime), able to detect speech pattern and send as a message in text format over the internet via the Microsoft Messenger software. One thing I do concern about was, how accurate is the speech recognition? The last I remember using the Vista speech software, it did give my mouth a full 2hours gym and finally give it up.

And you can literally throw away your 56Kbps modem. More web services are taking advantage of high speed internet.
