Verizon just added the Samsung Gleam to its lineup, a shiny 3G clamshell with Bluetooth, a 2-megapixel camera, a microSD slot, and all the V Cast fixins you’re used to.

It’s unconfirmed by any of my Samsung contacts, but apparently the new high end Blu-ray disc player from Samsung is being canceled, while the long awaited hybrid disc player, the first with total HD DVD and Blu-ray compatibility, is being delayed. That’s important for several reasons. The hybrid BD-UP5000 player is supposedly going to be…

Bang & Olufsen and Samsung made their new Serenata music phone official today, as promised, sporting the distinctive look and sure-to-be ludicrous pricing that B&O is known for.

Samsung’s still the world leader in TV sets. iSuppli reports they’re doing 12.4% of the market, globally, in the April to June quarter. LG and Philips are next wtih 11.4 and 7.1%. For some perspective: Cathode ray TVs are projected to still have 38% of shipments in 2009. Crazy, I know. [Yahoo!]

Canon sells seven different Digital Elphs, 9 different A-series cameras and 15 different all-in-one printers. Samsung’s US website lists 31 LCD TVs—plus another nine plasmas. Garmin currently promotes 32 different models of in-car portable GPS navigator. I’m sick of writing up 14 products from one company that all sound the same, and I’m sick of…

What Helio, Nokia, Samsung and Motorola Think About the iPhone

It’s been three months since the iPhone launched, which is plenty of time for four cellphone manufacturers/designers to form an opinion about what’s good, bad and effective about Apple’s phone.
