Samsung’s LED LCD HDTV Lineup: The C9000 Does 3D and Has a Video-Previewing Touch Remote

Samsung’s LED LCD televisions are here and the flagship C9000 is a doozy. It’s the only one they’re calling “ultra thin”, has 3D support in late 2010 and a touch remote that shows you content from other video sources! The thinness (it’s as skinny as a pencil) is achieved by shoving lots of guts into…

Samsung CL80: A Point-and-Shoot Crammed with 14 Megapixels, Wi-Fi and AMOLED Touchscreen

On paper, Samsung’s CL80 point-and-shoot is a superfluous spec nerd wet dream: Built-in Wi-Fi, 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen, 14 (okay, noisy) megapixels and 720p video recording. Oh, and it might be the most serious (read: best) looking camera they’ve made yet. You can send photos through email, or to Facebook, YouTube and Picasa over Wi-Fi, though…

Wow, 80 Percent of LED TVs Sold in the US Are Samsung

Interesting factoid from the Samsung CES presser: Samsung is dominating LED TVs. They claim 80 percent marketshare in the US. Though with everybody selling them now, and for cheaper, that could change quick. [Samsung @ Giz]

Samsung BD-C7500: Hope It Plays as Sweet as It Looks

Samsung says its latest connected Blu-ray player’s design was inspired by nature. While I haven’t seen that glossy finish on any fauna or flora lately, we can agree that it’s a beautiful bit of hardware. The BD-7500 is just 1.1-inches thick and sports a wood design. It can be wall-mounted, placed on a stand, or…

Samsung C8000 and C7000: 3D Plasma, Coming This Year

Samsung F-Series Big Zoom Camcorders Have Precisely 52x of Optical Zoomy

The one thing Samsung’s F-Series have going for them? Zoom. So much zoom. Not just 52x of optical zoom, but to 65x with Intelli-zoom, which is apparently better than regular digital zoom, thanks to “oversized” image sensors.

Texas Instruments is doing just that by applying it’s new Pico WVGA resolution chipset into everything from cellphones to digital cameras.

Samsung Digital Photo Frame 700Z Is 7 Inches of OLED Candy

I’m sure the model holding the new Samsung Digital Photo Frame 700Z 7-inch OLED photo frame at CES2010 will have a lot less clothing than this one. The frame comes with 4GB of memory and Bluetooth support. [DA via Oled-Display]

Samsung IceTouch PMP Has a Transparent AMOLED Screen. Why? Who Knows.

I don’t know what’s going on over at Samsung, but as PMPs die, you’ve got to come up with some way to differentiate your product—and I guess a see-through screen is as good a way as any. https://gizmodo.com/the-portable-media-player-is-dead-long-live-the-por-5360197 Samsung’s PMPs are among the best out there—I love the P3—but their design has been only slightly…

Samsung MyFit PMP Tells You to Drink Water and Stop Smoking, Idiot

The MyFit is a pretty good idea taken unexpectedly to the extreme. A workout player, sure, that’s a good idea. But wait, this doesn’t just count calories, it measures your fat and forcibly tells you to drink water. The MyFit is an 8GB workout player, and while it likely won’t be cheap or durable enough…

A Second Presidential Pardon for Samsung’s Former Chairman

Lady Justice weeps today. Samsung’s ex Chairman, Lee Kun-hee, was found guilty of breach-of-trust and tax evasion in August to fines of $88.7m. Today? He’s walking free because the president needed his help to plan the 2018 Olympic games bid. It’s his second pardon! The first time, he was convicted of bribing a previous president…

My Tech Buyer’s Guide from 2000 Is Pretty Hilarious
