Samsung claims world's thinnest DMB phone

Seoul - South Korea's Samsung Electronics unveiled what it claims to be the world's thinnest phone for digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB).

"This is the world's thinnest and lightest DMB phone, which enables users to watch television ... at any time and any place," a Samsung official said.

The new phone, 8.4 millimeters (0.336 inches) thick, weighs 72 grams (2.52 ounces), she said.

The number of South Korean DMB subscribers has soared to an estimated 1.85 million from 490,000 at the end of last year, contributing to brisk handset sales. The country launched DMB services last year. -- Agence France Presse
