If you don’t have the good fortune of owning a Windows Mobile 5 or 6.x device that came preinstalled with a replacement UI (like TouchFLO, for instance) and you haven’t ponied up for something like SPB Mobile Shell, there’s a new kid on the block that might be worth your attention. Ageye’s Infinity skin totally revamps WinMo’s look and feel, taking it right down the middle of the iPhone-Android divide with features like a slider lock screen, home screen widgets, and a revamped status bar that doesn’t look the same as it did in 2003. Ageye’s got a long way to go to make this thing usable — it’s being considered an alpha release for the moment — but it’s a project that’s probably worth keeping your eye on if you’re in the market for some flashy new visuals.
Lately Samsung
like to release things in series. After the wave of Corby clones swept the touchscreen market, it’s now the Sharks turn to try and conquer the entry-level market. The first three members of the new Shark lineup (Samsung S5550, Samsung S5350 and Samsung S3550) are supposed to help the company in its continuing quest for entry to lower midrange market domination.
Samsung S5350 Shark comes in the bar form factor
and sports a 2.2″ QVGA screen capable of displaying up to 262K colors. Dual-band 3G with 3.6Mbps HSDPA, quad-band GSM and a 3.2MP camera are its other key features.

The Samsung S5550 Shark 2 is the most functional of the predatory fish bunch. The stylish slider, which leaked last week, comes with a 2.2″ AMOLED display of QVGA resolution and packs a 5 megapixel autofocus camera. Dual-band 3G with 3.6Mbps is also onboard as well as quad-band GSM which allows worldwide roaming.

The final offering for today is the Samsung S3550 Shark 3 – a compact slider, which as the name suggests, has the shortest specs sheet of the lot. A 2″ QVGA screen and quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE is as good as it gets for the Shark 3.
