Samsung has announced a lineup of accessories for its Android-powered Galaxy S smartphone. These accessories include a desktop docking station, vehicle dock, and a backup battery charging system. The desktop dock lets your movies, listen to music, and it doubles as a digital photo frame while also charging the device.

The vehicle dock allows you to mount your Galaxy S on the windshield or your dashboard to display traffic alerts or turn-by-turn instructions. Lastly, the backup charger is small enough to fit into a purse, letting you keep your device close at all times, even when it is charging.

The Samsung Eternity II and Samsung Flight II handsets from AT&T will finally be arriving on the scene August 15th. The Samsung Eternity II packs a 3″ touchscreen display, with an optional AT&T Mobile TV powered by FLO TV. There’s also a full HTML web browser, one-finger zoom, a 2.0 megapixel camera, email support, music and video playback and AT&T Social Net for all of your Social Network needs.

The Samsung Flight II is more basic and sports a touchscreen display, a slide-out horizontal QWERTY keyboard, a 2-megapixel camera, full HTML web browser, email support, and music and video playback.

We already showed you what the Samsung Galaxy U looks like last week, and it’s all set to arrive in South Korea anytime now, but now you can see it in action at the link below.

Launching later this month, it shares many features with the Samsung Galaxy S, including a 3.7″ AMOLED Plus display. We still have no word on pricing though at this time.

Samsung has announced yet another touchscreen phone in South Korea. This time with a twist. The Nori (SHW-A220) targets users who like to customize their phones with accessories and make them look like tiny people.

Nori users can customize it with eight unique character adhesive films in all. Some features include a 3-inch touchscreen display (240×400), a 3.2MP rear camera, 1.3MP front facing camera, 3G, Wi-Fi, T-DMB, GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, Etiquette mode, SOS, microSD card slot (up to 16GB) and 1000mAh battery.

What do we have here? Pictures of the Galaxy U have surfaced of the device spooning the Samsung Galaxy S. SK Telecom already offers a version of the Galaxy S, but now its competitors LG U+ and KT are both working on variants of their own, called Galaxy U and Galaxy K.

The name is similar to the Galaxy S, but not the screen size. Both feature slightly smaller displays, measuring 3.7-inches. These should be arriving between August and September.

The Samsung YP-MB2 iPod touch competitor has been making its way around the net, seen in blurry videos, but now the device is apparently getting close to being official. I mean, just look at this much clearer picture of the device.

Looking at the picture, it definitely resembles the Galaxy S, but there is no front-facing camera and proximity sensor. Looks like the YP-MB2 features a lower resolution camera, 3.2-megapixels. This one is expected to be announced on August 11th, and it should be offered in capacities from 8GB to 32GB.

Samsung gave some hints on Friday that its Galaxy Tab slate could be launched within just two weeks. The company confirmed in a public statement that the seven-inch Android tablet should ship before the end of the summer, but interestingly it also sent out an invite for a special event on August 11 that might include the Galaxy Tab.

The notice to CrunchGear and other members of the press didn’t give clues, but it indicated that there would be “new products and announcements” and not just existing products. So, it makes sense.

Samsung has something new, born out of a collaboration with TeleHealth Services. They are launching the 458 Series LCD TVs that are specially designed for use in hospitals.

They are available in 26-inch and 32-inch models and are UL-approved with TeleHealth Services’ proprietary TIGR patient education system that will give patients access to educational videos anytime they want. These TVs also have USB ports that allow patients to access the multimedia content of their choice.

If you were wondering when the Galaxy S would be getting the Froyo treatment, Samsung has promised that an update would be coming not long after release. And now from the company’s UK Twitter feed, we have confirmation that it’s due in September.

So there you have it straight from Samsung itself. The 2.2 treatment is just a little ways off. Let’s hope they keep their word about this.

Samsung’s Galaxy S was originally only able to do video out using a 3.5mm audio jack, which is fine, but not if you want to output high-resolution videos. But now Samsung has introduced a Micro USB to HDMI cable that should make viewing videos from your Galaxy S on your HDTV much easier. We didn’t know that was possible, but we’re game.

The cable will cost $50 and will be compatible with Galaxy S phones like the Samsung Vibrant and Samsung Captivate from T-Mobile and AT&T.

If you are looking forward to the Samsung Epic 4G you’ll be happy to hear that the phone’s full spec sheet has been leaked. We knew about the basics, like the 4 inch Super AMOLED display, five row QWERTY keyboard, 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor, LED flash and 720p HD video recording already.

The leaked specs help fill in some of the gaps, revealing 1GB of ROM, 512 MB of RAM, 1500 mAh battery, six-axis motion sensor, and a few other details. The Epic 4G will be running on Android 2.1 with Touch Wiz 3.0 and will feature the typical Google services and applications.

Samsung has been quietly giving out free Galaxy S handsets (the European version) to a few lucky British Twitter users. Apparently four of them were complaining about their iPhone 4s, while the fifth guy needed help to choose between the Desire, iPhone 4 and Galaxy S.

It looks like they are only picking certain ones though for some cheap publicity. For instance, Tiffany works in Digital Marketing for Condé Nast. The other ones also appear to be involved in marketing or publishing, with the exception of one student.

Samsung just couldn’t resist taking a shot at Apple over the whole Death Grip issue. As Apple is beginning to process the iPhone 4 bumper case refunds today, Samsung UK took a moment to gloat and have some fun by posting a Galaxy S ad.

The ad references the Death Grip and reminds users that the Galaxy S has strong cellular reception. Apple fanboys won’t like it, but it’s pretty funny. Nice one Samsung.

Samsung has unveiled a new and compact digital camera that still packs in lots of resolution and other features. The camera is called the PL200 and measures in at 3.9″ x 2.3″ x 0.83″.

Despite the small size of the camera the little beast packs in a 14.2-megapixel sensor and has a rear LCD that measures 3-inches and has a resolution of 230k and can shoot HD resolution video. The video is recorded in 720p at 30 frames per second in H.264 format.

Thanks to some folks at Best Buy, we have a few images of the upcoming Samsung Intensity II which should arrive from Verizon Wireless soon. What you see is the display unit, but we can tell you that the Intensity II will feature a full QWERTY sliding keyboard, a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth and a $1 price tag from Best Buy with a 2-year contract.

Don’t want to be tied down? In that case it will cost you $249.99 for an unlocked handset.
