The guys from IntoMobile have witnessed a great performance from Samsung at this year's CTIA in Las Vegas. While we wait for the Galaxy S to appear, with it's Super AMOLED screen that is said to be great even in direct sunlight, check out this awesome presentation.
Specs from PhoneArena indicate the following:
Here are some interesting news for all your aunts, uncles, grandmothers, and grandfathers who are still living in 1980's when it comes to technology. Samsung has announced its new line of HDTV's with broadband capabilities and built-in Skype software. You can control Skype via TV's remote, and you can create new accounts, sign in to existing ones, and use Skype in usual way. Voice calls are supported out of the box, and you can make video calls with appropriate web-cam attachment.

Samsung has announced the new flagship TV model – C9000. Besides being the ultrathin LED (yes, on the picture below you see the side view as well) it could easily be the TV that outbeats your smartphone with it's remote 
Coming in late 2010, this ultrathin monster has 3D support as well, and remote is suitable for video streaming from other sources. TV will be able to convert 2D content to 3D. Do you notice the lack of connectors on the sides ? C9000 looks sexy, but impractical 
That's why the stand acts as a wall mount as well – it's not just a stand, it is filled with connectors.

We are back from our holidays, and, since this is our first post this year, we wish everybody Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and lots of cool gadgets
For the last few days, we have been testing Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 (who comes up with these kind of names???). It is a splendid little smartphone, and we enjoyed playing with it. You can read our impressions about the device here.

Quick specs for the impatient 
:
We have already published a lot of screenshots of Samsung's I8000 Omnia II. Now we have a final build of the software and it looks like Samsung has tried to cover Microsoft flaws as much as possible with it's TouchWiz interface. The device itself is very fast, and build quality is excellent. After a quick check of the specs we present you a vdeo tour and a ton of new screenshots:

For the geeks with computer science degree or just brave enough, we have stumbled upon interesting project. The recent set of Samsung TV Firmwares is based on Linux core (GPL), which enabled new perspective on hacking Samsung TV firmware. With some reverse engineering skills, after changing an official version of the firmware in a hex editor, SamyGo programmers , enabled telnet daemon at boot time so you can use alternative firmware on your brand new TV. It is nice to be able to ping your TV and take full control of it.
Further information can be found on SamyGo page or project wiki
We had a chance to play with a test sample of Samsung’s baby-Galaxy aka Spica (aka I5700 Galaxy Lite). You had the opportunity to see green version in action in our previous post. Sample that we have in our hands has matte backcover, totaly resistant to fingerprints -- nice move Samsung. The screen is AMOLED, and it appears that there is only 100MB memory available. Of course it can be upgraded via microSDHC cards, and since this is only a test version, we cannot make any conclusions.
Feel free to drop us a comment below and we’ll try to give you an answer (while we still have it on us). Update: our logo covers something that we just cannot show you
As we mentioned in our previous post, Samsung is preparing a Lite version of Galaxy Android phone. Samsung I5700 Galaxy Lite is to be known as Spica and All About Phones has the official photos. Street price should be around 350€ and mobile operators will probably make it available for free under contract. We are yet not certain how will the Samsung TouchWiz for Android look like, and on this photos we can only see the default Google experience UI.

As you can see, the lime green back is gone, and we suppose that the back will be operator-customizable.

Russian site readweb.org has posted new information on Samsung i5700 Galaxy Lite. Since we had a device in our hands we are not certain about resolution (it is actually HVGA 320×480) and other specs. As you can see, the fantastic lime green background has changed
Russian source says that the release date is postponed to the beggining of next year (!?) We hope to see it as soon as possible. Here are the specs with our comments in the brackets:
