Samsung Continuum Internet spot, hands on

John Walton — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 20:07:42 +0000

If you think the Samsung Continuum's (effective) dual screen layout and "ticker tape" display are a gimmicky novelty, you're half right; it certainly does pack some gimmicky advertizing punch.

When it's not crashing or replacing content downloads with a "coming soon" message, Verizon's 30th anniversary Empire Strikes Back app gives access to some cool stuff. It offers up some collecter card-type images that can be used as wallpaper, a trivia game for those that actually know their Star Wars...trivia, and a Bounty Hunter game for the truly... Read more
