Yup, the Spinn by iRiver actually has a haptic feedback touchscreen!

The official spec on iriver’s Korean site also says battery life will last 24-hours (not 27) and I can’t see evidence of the promised SD slot. It’s not even in the specs!

The clean (some say boring) lines of the 10.7-mm thick metal and plastic case that sports a 3.3-inch, 480 x 272 pixel AMOLED display, T-DMB TV, Bluetooth, and the new analog SPINN Wheel.

Its currently on pre-order for South Korea with the 4GB model fetching 259,000KRW (about $259) or 8GB for 299,000KRW (about $299).

It’s due for release in the UK next month - well, in a few days/weeks.

Samsung SDI, the manufacturer’s display team (not in the acrobatic sense - as far as I know), has been showing off a 12.1-inch laptop with an AMOLED display!

It has 1280 x 768 resolution and what appears to be a ~shudder~ touchy-odd-flat keyboard.

The prototype is being tarted around at SID 2008.

As to what’s going on at the rear of the screen - could it be another display panel or just a stand?

Answers on a real thin postcard please.
