Korea is investing heavily on its own WiBro ( IEEE 802.16e) technology, which delivers broadband speeds wirelessly at a cheap price. It’s also supposed to be faster than HSDPA. Samsung’s SWT-W100K has WiBro and a 4.3-inch WVGA touchscreen, GPS and a PIP (Picture in Picture) DMB user interface that will make the iPod Touch a novelty in its home country. Other features include a 2 megapixel camera, VoIP, video calling and MP4, XviD, WMV, and H.26 video file support. It comes with 8 GB of built-in memory and is priced at 341 euros ($524).

Wibro is not Koreas own technology, it is part of the mobile WiMAX international standard, which in turn follows the IEEE standard 802.16e.
Wibro is a specific 2.3GHz profile within the mobile WiMAX standard, using 8.75MHz channels.
