SAMSUNG ADDS A TOUCH OF CLASS TO PC MARKET WITH NEW ALL-IN-ONE
Scintillating style coming to the UK in stunning 20″ and 23″ models

London, UK – May 11, 2010 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a market leader in consumer electronics and world leader in IT technology, today announced its entry into the UK desktop PC market with the launch of two new ultra-stylish touch-screen All-in-One PCs for the home; the powerful, super-slim 23 inch U250 and ultra-stylish 20 inch U200.

Designed to bring the multi-touch functionality of the Microsoft Windows® 7 Home Premium operating system to life, the full 1080p HD screen U250 and 1600 x 900 resolution U200 offer users an unparalleled multimedia touch-screen computing experience.

The new All-in-One designs combine the monitor and computer in one slick unit, offering a smaller footprint to help save space on the work surface. Samsung’s new All-in-One PCs can serve as the focal point for family home entertainment whilst looking great – the 23 inch U250 features a cutting-edge, slim line design and the 20 inch U200 is curvaceous, bold and beautiful.
The incredibly intuitive display helps the U250 and U200 amplify the capabilities of Microsoft Windows® 7 Home Premium’s multi-touch functions, offering users a powerful and fully touch optimised PC experience for editing photos, playing games and viewing video content.

Graham Long, Vice President of Samsung’s IT Business Division, said “Through the new U250 and U200, we’re offering customers the ultimate touch-screen computing experience for the home.
“We’ve combined class-leading design with a simple to use interactive experience to create the next generation of home PC. We’re confident that the look and performance of these new models will prove popular with a wide range of home computing users.”

The launch of the new All-in-One range marks Samsung’s first venture into the home PC market in the UK. Graham Long added “The sector has been growing steadily since 2005, and we decided to use the strengths from our market-leading netbooks and notebooks to create a Samsung solution for the home, perfect for complimenting our Note PC offerings.”

The Samsung U200 and U250 will be available exclusively at PC World and PCWorld.co.uk from May 2010.

engadget : Eager for more of Samsung‘s outlay? Good. Officially unveiled today over in the UK, the company’s new 23-inch U250 and 20-inch U200 all-in-one PCs are going where loads of AIO machines already have: the multitouch galaxy. The former offers up a full 1080p resolution, while the latter steps down to 1,600 x 900; both of ’em ship with Windows 7 Home Premium, and the company would have you know that these two mark its “first venture into the home PC market in the UK.” Regrettably, the excitement was tempered by the lack of a real specification sheet, but we’re told they’ll ship later this month for those who couldn’t care less about nuts, bolts, gigahertz and megabytes.

Samsung AMOLED Beam SPH-W9600 projector phone

Remember Samsung’s impressive 3.7-inch Super AMOLED Beam projector phone running Andriod? This isn’t it. Instead, Samsung is launching its far less impressive 3.3-inch AMOLED (what, no Super?) Beam SPH-W9600 we previewed back in January into its South Korean home. So yeah, it’s the same 5 megapixeler with T-DMB TV, Microsoft Office and DivX codec support, and improved DLP pico projector that replaces last year’s W7900. But if it’s all the same to you Sammy, we’ll be waiting for the true projector phone successor — your Beam i8520, codenamed Halo — said to be launching this summer.

Samsung i8910 HD runs 62 apps at once talk about multitasking

While iPhone 3G owners and would-be Windows Phone 7 buyers sit in the corner, quietly weeping over their lack of true multitasking, webOS and Symbian continue to point and laugh. In mid-January, a Palm Pre Plus was seen cackling with joy over its rivals’ misfortune even as the device staggered under the weight of 50 simultaneous applications, and less than a week later, a Samsung Omnia HD performed the very same feat, despite having only half the Pre Plus’ RAM (i.e. 256MB) to work with. Now, in what we can only interpret as a large middle finger and “come here” gesture to all who aspire to the cell phone multitasking heavyweight title, we have a video of the i8910 running no less than sixty-two applications thanks to a custom ROM by HyperX. Watch in stunned silence as a finger scrolls through them, right after the break.

Samsung Galaxy S Pro with a QWERTY keyboard due in June

Those whispers you might have heard of a Pro version of Samsung’s delectable Galaxy S have just turned into a booming roar, thanks to Eldar Murtazin apparently confirming the existence and prospective arrival of the rumored handset. According to the legendarily loquacious mobile reviewer, Samsung will be strapping a QWERTY keyboard onto the already potent Galaxy S hardware and upping the pricing ante with an extra €50 (about $67) charge. He also manages to give us a June launch date, but pictures of this device are predictably not yet available. We’ll just have to let our imagination do the work until Mr. Blurrycam gets on the case.

Samsung’s Super AMOLED Wave S8500 priced in Germany: €429

Samsung’s world-beater — you know, that Wave S8500 that debuted back at Mobile World Congress — was revealed without one of the most vital statistics, but that’s being remedied today courtesy of a product listing over at Amazon’s German portal. The Bada-equipped device, complete with a Super AMOLED display that’s supposedly viewable in broad daylight, has found a €429 MSRP across the pond, which equates to around $579 using today’s highly volatile exchange rates. Granted, that’s a contract-free (read: unsubsidized) price, but we’re still going to hold out for a late-night session with the new OS before pinging our importer. Plus, those funky European AC adapters do nothing at all for us. Sorry.

Samsung confirms slate PC in the works — Engadget

Well, the details are extremely thin here folks, but it looks like Samsung’s working on a tablet PC – or ‘slate’ if you’re into the new fangled lingo – just like pretty much every other manufacturer on the planet. Speaking with APC (the website, not the clothier), Philip Newton, director of Samsung Australia’s IT division, said that the company is working on a slate PC for the second half of 2010 that will have “PC-grade processing power and connectivity” — two things Newton had previously cited as the main things lacking in the iPad.

Samsung e-readers

Samsung still hasn’t committed to a formal launch date for the e-reader line it launched at CES, but the company narrowed down the launch date from “early 2010” to “this spring” this morning — which makes sense, seeing as spring has nearly, uh, sprung. We’re only hearing about the six-inch E6 at the moment, along with a new Barnes and Noble partnership — we’re not sure anyone will pick the Samsung over the the popular Nook, especially at the $399 price point we heard at CES, but at least there’s a built-in content ecosystem. Interestingly, we’re not hearing anything about the 10-inch E10 or QWERTY-equipped E61, both of which would fill large gaps in the B&N lineup, but we’re looking out for more info — we’ll let you know. In the meantime, you can watch a video of all three devices right here.

Samsung’s sliding, handwriting-recognizing SNE-60K e-reader hits South Korea

Well, here’s one e-reader that won’t have too much trouble standing out from the pack — not only does Samsung’s SNE-60K boast a 6-inch touchscreen with support for handwriting recognition, but it has a fairly unique slider design that hides some of the additional controls (no QWERTY keypad on this one, though). Otherwise, you can expect built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, MP3 support (no word on storage) and, judging from the icons on the screen, at least a few other basic applications. Still no indication of a release over here, but this one is now available at Kyobo Bookstores in South Korea for 429,000 won (or about $375).

Samsung Chrome Netbook Coming Later in 2010

During the launch of Samsung’s newest Pinetrail netbooks in Australia, Samsung confirmed that they will be releasing a netbook with Google Chrome OS later this year. It’ll be similar to the Samsung N210, so perhaps the same chassis with a 10.1 inch screen. It’ll come with 2GB RAM, at least 64GB of storage, built-in 3G and a 12 hour battery. No word on processor so it could be Intel Pinetrail or Samsung’s new Qualcomm Snapdragon processor (1.5GHz).
