CES2010: Friday: Samsung

I have SERIOUS monitor envy after going to the Samsung booth and seeing the beautiful monitors.

The Samsung booth design was incredible. Huge as always. The traditional "wall of TVs" was more like a futuristic cathedral-like cylindrical structure plastered with TVs, reflected in the mirrored ceiling above. Almost as entertaining as going to Cirque du Soleil! (Oh, the blasphemy!!)

Amazing range of devices on display, you can't spend just 5 minutes in the Samsung booth, it'll suck you in for an hour.

- NX10 14MP hybrid digital system camera, with no mirror in the body - resulting in a body only ~1" deep, with a big 3" AMOLED display. Samsung lenses only for now. "Hampered by the lack of any meaningful photographic 'pedigree' Samsung has to prove itself worthy of a seat at photography's top table, and on first impressions the NX10 is an incredibly promising start: only time (and sales figures) will tell if its enough." -dpreview.com

- tiny "chiclet" TicToc mp3 players in Hello Kitty colors with single button operation. When the button faces up, clicking it raises the volume. Flip it 180 degrees, clicking now lowers the volume
- IceTouch mp3 player with *transparent* display
- Lay your index finger on the MyFit's sensor to read your heartrate. Reads your fat level and it's a pedometer too.
- a display with 178deg viewing angle - which gave it the appearance of paper, not electronics
- what seemed like dozens of models of TVs, all subtly different & impossible to tell apart!!
