InfoSonics Launches Its First Android Smartphone - the s700
SAN DIEGO, March 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- InfoSonics Corporation (NASDAQ: IFON) today announced the launch of its new verykool® s700 Android powered smartphone.
"We are excited to release our first internally designed smartphone based on the Android platform," said Joseph Ram, the company's president and chief executive officer. "The s700 features a 3.5" capacitive screen and optional dual SIM (3G/2G) capability. In addition to the main 2MP rear-facing camera, we added a secondary front-facing VGA camera for video calling. The phone has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity, and we optimized the battery to last approximately 1.5 days for the average user. From a software perspective, we believe our custom designed user interface is very intuitive, and we endowed the s700 with a number of attractive features including native push e-mail, GPS navigation, access to the Android marketplace and other instant messaging and social networking applications. And, we added some extra features like an E-compass, a 3-way gyroscope and a status LED which instantly signals a new message or missed call."
The Company noted the following additional details of the s700:
-- Video recording and playback
-- Android version 2.2
-- Built-in FM radio and MP3 music player
-- SMS/MMS messaging
-- Can be used as a 3G USB tethering device
-- T-Flash memory expandable to 32GB (2GB embedded)
-- 1400 mAh Li-ion battery with kill app for battery savings
-- Speakerphone, 72 polyphonic ringtones, 3.5mm audio jack and stereo
headset included
