Samsung has introduced a new line of music phones that feature motion-sensitive controls similar to Apple's latest iPod nano. The BEATb M3510 candybar and BEATs M3200 slide phones allow users to shake the device to skip tracks, but go a step further by including functionality to play and pause songs by tapping it, and mute it by placing the face down on a surface. Reusing technology from its previous music devices like the YP-S5, Samsung has also packed its Digital Natural Sound Engine (for supposedly producing better sound), micro SD card slot, and an FM Radio into 9.9 millimeter thin units. Both GPRS/EDGE handsets -- available in Asia and Europe in the next two months -- sport a 2-inch LCD screen, a two megapixel camera, and Bluetooth, though only the M3200 includes a stereo speaker powered by a Bang & Olufson amplifier.
