After months of unofficial teasing (and well over a year of hanging out overseas) Samsung's U940 Glyde is finally official for Verizon. Besides going all CDMA/EV-DO, the former F700 touchscreener with a QWERTY keyboard packs GPS, a full HTML browser, a gimped 2MP camera, VCAST and all the usual stuff like Bluetooth and microSD support. Oddly, no VCAST TV. If this year old, no-longer-a-fresh pup phone still excites you, it's $249 w/ a two-year contract and $50 rebate. Check out another picture (with keyboard stashed away) plus full spec sheet after the jump.

Samsung U940 Glyde Accessories Show Up on Verizon's Site
If all of the past stuff indicating the Samsung Glyde (u940) was on its way to Verizon wasn't enough for you, doubting Thomas, these accessories for it on Verizon's public site should pretty much clinch the deal. [VZW, Thanks Josh!]

Samsung Uses Indy to Market its Rose Crystal HDTVs in Korea
With just three weeks to go before Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull hits theaters, Samsung is using the bullwhip-cracking adventurer for a little bit of promotion. Both the 50-inch and 58-inch models of its Rose Crystal HDTV come with an Indy DVD, as well as movie theater tickets. Personally, I'm looking forward to the scene in the film when Indy and Mutt are tied up to a pagan statue and, as a glacial Cate Blanchett advances on our heroes with an ice pick, Mutt's Samsung Soul cellphone rings in his pocket. It's Mom Marion, asking if he's going to be home for supper, and if he is, not to be late, because she's made him a soufflé and she doesn't want it to collapse. [i4U ]

Samsung's High End 650 Series LCDs Reviewed (Verdict: Great)
CNet's reviewed Samsung's 52-inch 650 series LCD, the LN52A650. While there is a 750 series, it's worth noting that those sets get MPEG and MP3 playback from USB drives but have the same picture. So, for this generation of Samsung LCDs, this is as good as the picture gets. In summary, David Katzmaier loved the set. More »

Samsung P960 Heralds the European Arrival of the Mobile TV Cellphone
While mobile TV cellphones are ten-a-penny in the Far East, the West is pretty much virgin territory for them. Samsung's P960, however, may have got the ball rolling, a mobile TV phone aimed at European consumers. A sleek gray slider, the P960 supports both European mobile TV standards, DVB-CBMS and OMA-BCAST, and its 2.6-inch QVGA TFT screen even lets you watch two channels at the same time. As to whether we're going to see a US-friendly version later on in the year—well, that's not clear yet, but since the menu behind the dude is in dollars, perhaps the Koreans are making their press budget go a little further. Press release is after the jump.More »

Samsung Glyde (aka U940 née F700) Pops Up in Verizon's Database
Samsung's long-linger F700/u940, has been rumored to hit the big V for a while, but Phone Area's reporting that it's now locked and cocked in Verizon's internal InfoManager as the Glyde, though sans date or price. Spec sheet confirms cam's cut to a paltry 2MP but all the old specs look otherwise intact, but with added goodness of EV-DO, and Verizon's usual scarlet bag of tricks like VCAST and VZNavigator.

Color Laser Printer CLP-315K is World's Smallest, Says Samsung
20% smaller than the previous generation, Samsung is claiming their new CLP-315K is actually the World's smallest color laser printer. It's got a resolution of 2,400 x 600 dpi and can spit out four letter-sized pages per minute in color and 17 in black, and apparently it has improved photo quality output. There's also another small all-in-one edition, the CLX-3175FNK, which has a scanner built in and can scan to and print from USB memory sticks so it can operate PC-free if you need it to. There's no word on release date or price yet, sorry. [Akihabaranews]

Skype Makes Java Client For Sony Ericssons, Samsungs, Nokias and Moto RAZRs
Mobile Skype was previously only available on Smartphones like Windows Mobile, but they've just ported a Java version for all kinds of non-smart phones. Be aware that this isn't like the previous iterations and even Skype to Skype calls cost money (or use up your minutes), so there's no huge reason in using this to call someone you can easily call already. What it is useful for is calling overseas, since you use up regular minutes but only get charged SkypeOut rates instead of your exhorbitant cellphone international call rates. [Skype via Crunchgear]

Samsung Monitors Get "Touch of Color" Treatment, 20000:1 Contrast Ratio
Samsung has four new monitors with the same amber-hued "Touch of Color" screens as their Series 6 and 7 TVs seen at CES. The T190 ($259), T220($359), T240($499), and T260($599) are 19, 22, 24, and 26 inches respectively, and feature a 20000:1 contrast ratio, which looked good to us despite the controversy that always surrounds contrast measurement. The monitors also feature adjustable aspect ratios and support for multi-screen functionality, among other qualities. The T190 and T220 are available now, and the other two will be out in July. Full release after the jump. [product page, Samsung] More »

Samsung's LCDs and Plasmas from CES, Now With Prices
Samsung unloaded a whopping 27 plasma and LCD TVs on us at CES, but didn't get around to saying how much they cost. We just got the prices on all of them, from the $430 18.9" Series 4 LCD to the $5000 mammoth 63" Series 6 plasma. The whole list, after the jump. [Samsung] More »

Samsung's YP-S3 Gets the LED Out
Although the S2 pebble may be cuter, Samsung's S3 is a beefed-up PMP for people who need more multimedia support. The 4GB S3 plays audio (MP3, WMA and OGG), video (MPEG4, SVI), JPEGs and even text. Like most other Samsung players, it has an FM radio and games. The coolest thing about the player, which comes in five colors, is the LED-lit controls that seem to disappear when you don't need them. Available for under $130 when it's released in June.[Samsung]

On paper, the Samsung YP-S2 is just another shuffle-beater, a 1GB player for $39. But in person, it's the most stylish of its class, in five colors, including those below and a white with faux marble grain. (Sadly Samsung didn't have that one on hand.) It charges via a removable USB dongle that plugs right into the 35mm headphone jack, saving space—just don't lose the extra piece. It's not fully see-through, like Sony's similar OLED-screen MP3 players, but it does have a glowing multicolored LED that is supposed to indicate status. As you can see in the gallery, it's not totally fingerprint-proof, but $39 doesn't guarantee perfection. [Samsung]

Samsung Chairman Resigns Amidst Scandal Storm
Samsung Group Chairman Lee Kun-hee has resigned today after the $113 million tax evasion scandal investigated in a special prosecution probe, which has finally led to formal charges, but no arrests. Kun-hee apologized deeply, taking full responsibility. Other members of the board are resigning too. We can only hope that the Samsung product shot ninja bombshells are staying. [AP]

Samsung OLED TVs in 2009
Samsung SDI has just made a bold assertion about OLED technology: TVs and monitors will be using the tech just next year, and it will be in flexible displays by 2010. And Samsung's putting its money where its mouth is by doubling Active Matrix OLED production capacity from 1.5 to 3 million panels per year by 2009. At that point economies of scale kick in, so the plan is production doubling again by 2010. There're a couple of hurdles to overcome, though: high power consumption is a big challenge. And with giants like Sony and Sharp getting into bed with each other for LCD production, the competition is going to be interesting. [Digitimes]

Samsung and Armani Launch HDTVs That Look... Like Every Other HDTV
The Samsung/Armani design train keeps rolling, now from cellphones to HDTVs. Today in Milan, Sammy and Giorgio showed off the first Armani LCD TVs—a 46-incher and a 52-inch model. Both are 100Hz "Full HD" sets (hopefully that means 1080p, not 1080i), and will strut their stuff in Europe, Korea and Russia this summer. The fashionable part is apparently the customizable the Samsung and Armani logos. Ooooo... Oh, and it's got two remotes, a mini-pebble for basic functions, and a swankier one that does everything, but we don't have any pics of 'em yet. No price, but it's probably stupid
