Dribbling over a non-Sony OLED TV? Samsung says just wait until 2009!

Samsung showed off a 40″ OLED TV at CES in January, however it’s taken until now for them to announce they’ll be available commercially as of 2009.

They’ve supposedly started producing the panels already – 1.5 million of them – however that number will reach 3 million in 2009, and 6 million in 2010. If they enter the market next year with OLED panels, they’ll be joining Sony…

We may’ve first heard about this phone in early February, however it’s taken Samsung until today to officially announce it for their European market.

Hopefully you can remember the specs, but admittedly there has been an awful lot of releases since then, so here’s a quick round-down. The HSDPA GPRS/EDGE Tri-Band handset features a 5.0-megapixel camera with LED flash…

Lucky old Yi So-yeon has just popped up into space today making her the first South Korean to hit escape velocity, courtesy of the latest Russian Soyuz mission to the International Space Station.

She’s been sponsored by the proud company of her homeland, with Samsung kitting her out with a couple of cameras for the journey. So she gets space AND free camera. If she comes round here the lucky cow will be greeted by a stony, jealous silence…

You might be able to get Second Life to run on your iPhone, but due to various problems involved in that process, I’d suggest you maybe flog your iBrick on eBay, go buy a Samsung. If you’re that obsessive about Second Life, which I bet you are if you’ve read this far.

They’re showing a demo over at CTIA this week, and hope to release the technology by the end of the year, along with an integrated blogging platform and easy communication between you and your Second Life elves/fairies/warlords through text and voicemail. An interesting idea, but chances are…

Some more news regarding those HD digital cameras that Samsung announced back in January at CES, the NV24HD has shown up on the pages of AVING, who are claiming the model will have a 2.5″ AMOLED screen.

That’s the camera, not that insanely good-looking model holding the camera. I bet his AMOLED is more than a couple inches long. Ahem.

Anyway, it’s got a 10.2-megapixel sensor, plus a 24mm ultra optical wide 3.6x zoom lens. It can record video at 30fps, in 1280 x 720 resolution…
