MEMORY FILLED

The Swiss army knife of digital cameras is finally at hand. Samsung Electronics last week released the VP-MS15 memory camera, which combines camcorder, digital camera, MP3 player, voice recorder, PC camera and storage device functions in a handy device. Available in silver, black or red, the 5.1-megapixel digital camera measures 90 x 56.3 x 19mm and weighs about 120grams, without battery and memory card. Its aluminium body comes equipped with a 2.5-inch screen, a 3x optical zoom lens and 512 megabytes of flash memory. A single charge will provide up to

150 still shots, use of voice recorder and MP3 player functions for five hours, record an mpeg video clip for 90 minutes and play back movie clips for 120 minutes. The VP-MS15 memory camera costs $3,290.
