20 members of the MIT Sloan Innovation Club each recently received a Samsung NV3 device as a part of the current I-Club testbed.  The multi-purpose devices serve primarily as point-and-shoot digital cameras, but are also capable of playing MP3 and MPEG-4 files, recording spoken comments and verbal notes, and displaying simple text documents.  One of the camera’s cooler features is the integration of moderate-quality external speakers and a headphone jack that allows playback of videos shot using the camera, as well as playback of other videos placed on the phone’s SD card from your hard drive.  The lack of integration with a convenient desktop application for managing MP3s and MPEG4s is the only conspicuous omission, but this omissions is compensated for in excellent image quality, convenient features and appealing form factor.  See the Flickr image, taken at a temple in Japan last week, for an sample of the camera’s handiwork.
