30 Nov 09 Rocketfish WirelessHD Adapter

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.

28 Nov 09 Samsung Bada to Debut in London this December 8

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!

26 Nov 09 Samsung Forever for Roger

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.

24 Nov 09 Samsung Omnia II to feature Swype


If you have never heard of Swype, it is technology that allows the user to input data on touchscreen QWERTY keyboard by swiping their finger across the virtual keypad, instead of using two fingers. The user never has to let up their finger, and the Swype program can somehow recognize the words that they put in.

The Samsung Omnia II will be the first phone to have this feature, which could easily become a new standard. If you don’t believe me, just watch the video above.

24 Nov 09 Samsung Jet S8000 gets firmware update

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;

24 Nov 09 Samsung S7070

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.

22 Nov 09 Samsung Marina Targets Women Mobile Phone Users

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!

20 Nov 09 Samsung Omnia II for $200 from Verizon on December 2

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.

18 Nov 09 Samsung Bada Phone Coming in the First Half of 2010?

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.

18 Nov 09 Palm Pixi Available for $25 on Amazon

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?

18 Nov 09 Samsung SCH-W799 Mobile FCC Approved

Samsung Electronics is set to officially unveil another mobile phone soon after getting approval for its Samsung SCH-W799. The handset underwent rugged tests and satisfactorily met all conditions set by the FCC and now the only thing left is when it would officially hit the market. A lot of the tests done focused on the electromagnetic emissions of radio frequencies. The only thing clear about the Samsung SCH-W799 for now is that it comes with Bluetooth 2.0 with enhanced data rates and a permanently attached antenna with no provisions for an external one. But expect the official features to come out soon and it should not be surprising if it comes with the usual built-in camera, media players, GPS and other connectivity options as well.
