Bad news for high-flying businessmen: the days of jet-setting and fat expense accounts may be over now that it is possible to hold worldwide videoconferences using only your mobile phones. Samsung Electronics on Thursday introduced its "push-to-all" (PTA) mobile phone at its Suwon Information and Communication Institute.
Samsung says the phone is the first mobile product allowing users to simultaneously talk with several people (push-to-talk), make a video call (push-to-view) and transfer data (push-to-data). In other words, no need any more to hand out files around the meeting table or fly halfway around the world for a couple of hours in a meeting room.
Samsung Electronics Information and Communication Institute director Lee Kwan-soo said the model was named push-to-all because it could do all three things. PTA technology can be used with mobile Internet (WiBro: Wireless Broadband), third generation telecommunication (W-CDMA) and the wireless Lan, besides the telecommunication network, the company added.
LG Electronics earlier unveiled a push-to-view phone at an IT exhibition in France.
