Samsung X120, X420, and X520 With CULV Get Unveiled

By Evan Selleck on Friday, Sep 4th 2009 No Comments

The announcements just keep coming and coming. It looks like Samsung has gone ahead and introduced a new line up of X-series notebooks, offering up a degree of mobility that Samsung says has a lot to do with that battery life. We'd have to agree. There's not much mobility in having a 3-cell battery in a notebook, when you can only be out and about for a couple hours before you need to be tethered to a wall outlet. Longer battery life means a better user experience as well, and if Samsung has anything to say about, your customer experience is about to get bumped up to another level.

Samsung Plans for OLED Laptops by Year-End 2010

By Evan Selleck on Friday, Sep 4th 2009 1 Comment

Samsung is a fan of OLED. We’re seeing it more and more in their manufactured phones, and no one is arguing that it’s the best way to view anything of any kind of importance. And now it looks like Samsung plans to see OLED in the next best thing: laptops. It’s a great idea, and one that we hope to actually bear into fruition. Especially if it hits mainstream, so that way it doesn’t hit everyone’s wallets too much.

samgunyoutubebr Google may not be exactly sure how to make money off YouTube yet, but the website is the most popular destination online for video watching.

Every computer user really needs external storage for making backups. Many computer users never back up their data and have no way to get their important documents back if the computer fails unexpectedly. External storage is needed to allow users to back their data up.

Samsung Behold 2 Passes Through Bluetooth SIG With Interesting Wording

By Evan Selleck on Thursday, Sep 3rd 2009 No Comments

We get it that Android is a hot commodity at this point, and we're all for seeing the expanding OS hitting more phones in the States, but there's a point where jumping the gun might not be that beneficial. Android is a platform that needs to hit popular, or even eye-catching phones at this point, and shy away from ambiguous, run-of-the-mill devices. And, unless you fell head over heels for the original Behold when it launched on T-Mobile, then we're tagging "run-of-the-mill" on its sequel. But then again, does running Android on a device make it stand out, just by default?

Samsung offers 24x super zoom point-and-shoot HZ25W

By Shane McGlaun on Wednesday, Sep 2nd 2009 No Comments

I purchased a DSLR camera a long time ago because I was tired of my point-and-shoot not being fast enough with shutter speed to actually take a picture of my kids. My Nikon D80 is plenty fast, but I often miss the high zoom range I gave up for the D80 compared to the old camera I had.

Samsung Omnia II Up for Pre-Order on Amazon, but for Sanity’s Sake You Probably Shouldn’t Look

By Evan Selleck on Tuesday, Sep 1st 2009 No Comments

Amazon is pretty much a bastion of information at this point, isn’t it? Things keep popping up on their site, both locally and globally that would lead most manufacturers to pull their hair out in frustration. And while we’re sure that this time around, in regards to Samsung, no one is all that upset with the phone finding its way to the digital shelves, we’re sure that someone has to be upset. Or maybe angry at the world. Because that’s the only realistic way the Omnia II could have acquired a price like this.

Samsung DJ PMP Gets Released

By Evan Selleck on Tuesday, Sep 1st 2009 No Comments

Samsung has announced today the launch of a brand new Personal Music Player (PMP), one that they are boasting is the slimmest and lightest on the market. Sure, that might not be the greatest thing to preach, especially considering usability and interface are paramount when utilizing any kind of personal media, but at least they have something. It’s not too bad to look at either, especially if you’re a fan of gingerbread cookie men. No, seriously.
