Pantech has harnessed the power of magnetic levitation (yes, the same principle used in transporting thousands of people on bullet trains every day) by integrating it inside a cellphone. This super slim slider measures at only 9.9mm thick will be able to slide open and close almost automatically thanks to this technology. Being the first handset in the world with such a feature, Samsung’s range of slim sliders will definitely be threatened by Pantech’s offering when released next month since the latter has eliminated space-wasting parts such as springs. Features of this Pantech wonder includes a 1.3 megapixel camera, DMB broadcasting capability, and MP3 playback. There is no word on pricing details, so just sit it out until April rolls around.
