Two years ago, when I was at CES, I saw Belkin’s FlyWire on display. It was transmitting HDTV wirelessly to a display across the room. Sadly, this Flywire never saw the light of day.
Fortunately, Rocketfish, a Best Buy owned company, has your wireless HDTV covered with the WirelessHD Adapter, a two-piece set that enables a single HDMI device to be connected to an HDMI-enabled HDTV without wires. The range is 33 feet, and it is at 1080p. You should be able to get it for $599.99.

Samsung’s new OS Bada is expected to debut in 2010 but apparently this does not include London. Though many question Samsung’s reliability as far as software development is concerned, the Samsung Bada will make an early appearance in London this coming December 8th. So before you make any assumptions, let us wait and see what this primary teaser in London (which seems to be an invite only affair) will result in. Or if you would rather wait for the full blown debut, wait somewhere in the first half of 2010 if you are really hard to please!

Rogers decided to add another mobile phone to their catalog, it is made by Samsung and strangely named Forever, giving the idea that you’ll have the cellphone forever, or not…
Anyhow, the Samsung Forever which is already available for purchase at Rogers stores boasts a WQVGA LCD screen with a 2-megapixel camera, and runs TouchWiz. The other good feature on the Forever cellphone is the 3.6Mbps of HSDPA. In case you’re interested in the device, keep in mind that it will cost close to $75 after signing a 3-year contract, but at least you’ll have a “cool” smartphone.

One of the “not so popular” Samsung devices also known as Jet S8000 has received an unofficial firmware update. The unofficial part is the bad news, but the good news is the good feedback that has been mentioned by customers that already installed the new firmware.
Anyway, the new version is named S8000XEII2 and there are a few notable improvements:
- on the phone browser just use the volume rocket to scroll pages;
- gallery mode is faster in some aspects, but when it comes to opening images it is still a bit slow;
- new widgets such as twitter, myspace, and facebook;
- new background picture for the (3D) Cube;

In addition to the Samsung S5150 Olivia that we mentioned just a few minutes ago, there is a new Samsung handset named S7070.
These two new cellphones – S5150 and S7070 – are part of a new design line created by Samsung which is simply named “Diva”, and I’m sure they will add interesting devices to this line in the near future.
Anyhow, the Samsung S7070 has TouchWiz as the operative system and a 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen. It will hit the market on the first quarter of 2010 and feature a microUSB connector, bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, FM radio, and support for EDGE/GPRS.

Samsung has always been known to be an aggressive company aimed to deliver mobile handsets for any class and gender and it seems that they have something in the works to perk up its LadyPhone lineup. For now all we can gather is that it will be codenamed Samsung Marina, but apart from that, don’t expect any photos or specs. All we can do for now is speculate and critics have started doing so by expecting a high-end phone and supposedly in step with Samsung’s quality control for its family of handsets. But if it is really aimed at ladies, expect a feminine touch starting with the color (pink or lavender?) and the keypards (smaller). We just have to wait and see if there is any truth to this rumor for now!

The Samsung Omnia II will soon be released at Verizon on December 2 for $200 on contract after a $100 mail-in rebate.
This should probably come as no surprise as the original was also with the big V, and so this Windows Mobile 6.5 will be in stiff competition with the Moto Droid.
Here’s a video of the Samsung Omnia II with AMOLED screen after the jump.

Just recently we’ve heard that Samsung is ready to unveil its own mobile platform called bada this year. Naturally we assumed that the first bada phone will be also announced in December when the bada SDK will be made available but that won’t happen. In fact it looks like the first bada phone will be launched only in the first half of 2010. Will we see the bada phone around the same time Apple launches its fourth generation iPhone? Samsung has failed to make any comments regarding the handset so far but we might know more once the bada SDK becomes official next month.

The Palm Pixi has been launched officially this Sunday and Sprint customers can get it for $99.99 after rebates and with a 2-year new contract. But other retailers, like Amazon, are ready to offer the smartphone for a lot less. Amazon is going to sell the Pixi for just $25 but you will still have to get a new contract from Sprint.
So should you buy the Pixi now? Why not wait a while as I am sure the phone will be available for free on contract real soon. After all there are hotter phones out there worth purchasing with new contracts like the HTC Hero, the Motorola Droid, the BlackBerry Storm2, the HTC Droid Eris or the Samsung Behold II. What phone are you going to purchase these holidays?
