Samsung OmniaWe're not sure why Samsung decided it would be a good idea to announce a touchscreen smartphone at the same time as the iPhone 3G but it might be just the thing Windows fans are looking for as they step over the queue of sleeping-bag wrapped shoppers outside the Apple Store.

Sporting Windows 6.1 it manages to pack in a 5mp camera with face detection (to the iPhone's bog standard 2mp), GPS and 7.2Mbps HSDPA. The screen's smaller at 3.2in to iPhone's 3.5 but it does have DivX, XviD, H.264, WMV and MP4 video support, as well as video capture.

It'll be going head to head with the iPhone 3G when it launches in Europe next month. We've got a pretty good idea who the winner will be.
