The Best Tech You Can't Get

摘要

Everything is better here in the U.S., right? While that may be true for cheeseburgers, colleges, and pop music, it's not always the case with technology. In fact, there are many devices that are sold only overseas that would make U.S. technophiles drool. For example, how would you like a handheld device that could replace your laptop, cell phone, camcorder, GPS, and iPod? The Miutech Hybrid Dual (sold only in South Korea, for about $500) is slightly larger than an average cell phone, runs Windows XP and Linux Qplus, and contains a 30GB or 60GB hard drive, a processor that can be up to 1 GHz, a full QWERTY keyboard, a 4-inch LCD, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 2.0 compatibility. And if you think the iPhone is slim, take a look at the Samsung SGH-U100, the world's thinnest smart-phone. It's 5.9mm thick and-you guessed it-sold only abroad.
