Samsung Armani Windows Mobile smartphone in the worksLooks like there’s a new Samsung Armani phone coming from Samsung, and this time it will be powered by Windows Mobile 6.5. This according to an interview with Samsung Taiwan mobile marketing department director Ryu Jae-hyun.

The new smartphone is apparently scheduled for launch this fall, and users everywhere are hoping that the Armani/Samsung collaboration will offer a little more than the older Samsung Armani handsets. The first full touchscreen Samsung Armani handset wasn’t much of a success when it was released back in 2007. The Samsung Armani Night Effect didn’t fair much better.

Samsung TL320 CameraIt’s usually cool when manufacturers launch new high-tech products and mix in a little retro design. Samsung has done this on a few occasions with its digital camera line by adding analog gauges to show certain key stats on the camera.

Today Samsung launched a pair of new digital point-and-shoot cameras called the TL320 and the HZ15W. The TL320 has dual analog gauges on the top of the camera that show the capacity left on the memory card and how much power is left in the battery. The camera has an AMOLED screen and records 720p video with H.264 compression. Other features include 5x optical zoom, image stabilization, and 12-megapixel resolution.

Samsung DelveThe iPhone has spawned a wealth of me too handsets that look very similar to its slick design and offer a very similar feature set. To this point none of the me too devices have managed to come close to matching the success of the iPhone. That hasn’t kept the competitors from trying to bring their own iPhone clone to market though.

One of the more recent iPhone clones to debut is the Samsung Delve. It looks very much like the iPhone and that is likely where the similarities end. To promote the Delve, Samsung Mobile and Paramount Digital Entertainment have teamed up to offer a special movie deal to buyers.

Posted in Samsung by Conner Flynn on February 17th, 2009

Samsung: Three Android phones and a LiMo handset for 2009According to Reuters, Samsung will sell “more than three” Android phones by the end of this year, and plans a phone using Linux-based software before 2010.

No word on which countries will get them first, but the company’s head of product strategy Won-Pyo Hong said that the US and Europe would be covered by this year’s end. Linux has had little success in cellphones so far, but that is changing with the LiMo platform and Google’s using Linux for it’s Android platform.

Samsung OmniaHD to feature 720P HD-video capture

Posted in Samsung by Conner Flynn on February 15th, 2009

Samsung OmniaHD to feature 720P HD-video captureAccording to SamsungCentral, Samsung’s newly announced OmniaHD will be the world’s first cellphone to record 720p video. It will have a 3.7-inch AMOLED screen, which should be decent for the HD content it will record.

That’s really about all we know if you take their word for it. It likely also has GPS, Wi-Fi, plenty of built-in storage and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Those are basic features, after all. No word on what OS it will run, but we would like to get one of these in hand.

Samsung Blue Earth Phone is made from water bottles

Posted in Samsung by Conner Flynn on February 12th, 2009

Samsung Blue Earth Phone is made from water bottlesSamsung’s upcoming Blue Earth smartphone is a little different. In front you’ll find a touch screen, while the entire back takes advantage of the space with a solar panel. If you can believe Samsung, they are claiming that the panel produces enough electricity to place a call any time you need to.

We’ll believe that one when we see it, but as far as eco-phones go, this one is interesting. Keeping energy in mind, the phone includes an Eco Mode, which adjusts screen brightness and deactivates Bluetooth. Not only that, but most of the phone is made from recycled water bottles. Both the handset, and it’s charger are free from harmful substances.

Samsung Lapfit external displaySamsung just released it’s latest LCD monitor dubbed the Lapfit External Display. It connects to your laptop, giving you a larger display to work with, play games,watch porn or whatever. The cursor and image panning are nearly perfectly aligned.

You’ll get 18.5″ of viewing area, and it’s probably a good idea to have a notebook equipped with a decent high-end graphics card so you can take full advantage of it. No price info, but we are guessing it will be comparable to a regular 18.5″ LCD.
