When looking at converged, portable technology, i visited the samsung site and looked at their section on their mobile phone technology. I decided to look specifically at their latest fone, the samsung d900. The samsung d900 is a slider mobile phone and has a small, slim and sophisticated design. This is an example of miniturisation and how technology is getting smaller and slimmer in many cases, enabling portability and giving the potential to fit more into a smaller space. The D900 is packed with the latest mobile technology including a quad band, which means that you can be reached almost anywhere in the world.

The Samsung D900 also has high-quality 3-megapixel camera, which shows the convergence of cameras and mobile phones. With new technology phones has now somewhat replaced cameras as they have excellent picture quality and pictures can be downloaded onto the computer or printed.

Moreover the phone allows you to check you emails or take a look at your documents using the file viewer. This shows both the convergence of the internet and mobile phone technology and how mobile phones can be used instead of computers. This all adds to the convenience factor regarding products such as the D900 which makes life a lot easier. For example it is easier to check your e-mails via the internet on your mobile phone, rather than check them via the internet on your laptop- as the mobile phone option is far more portable and easy to use.

The website also offers high definition pictures of the samsung d900 from every possible angle and in every possible colour. The phone can even be viewed in 3d-mode...this shows that new technolog enables the samsung company to advertise their product more effectively. Also it makes the life of the consumer far easier as instead of going to a phone shop to see the new samsung d900, they can visit the website and even order one online. The site provides consumers with all of the specificaitons of the phone as well as accessories and extras that can be bought...thus effectively advertising the phone.
