It's not just LG that's out of control with
the fancy names; their buddy Samsung is in on the cutesy single names too! No more numbers to name cell phones, people; you need a catchy name to compete in this market.
What are Samsung's names coming dangerously close to?

I was helping a friend investigate buying a new HDTV as her gadget guru, and we thought we'd found the perfect one: A
40-inch 1080p LCD flat screen by Samsung, which had just gone down in price to about $1,080 — and to sweeten the deal, there was a new $200 rebate (not surprising considering
Samsung is rumored to be slashing prices to clear out old stock), bringing the total down to about $880.
My friend added the TV to her cart, had her credit card ready to go when I said "Wait!" and insisted she figure out what exactly the details of the rebate were, just in case.

Last week, I got my hands on the latest and greatest gadgets from Samsung that are either already out or will be making their debut in the upcoming weeks. From camcorders, cell phones, MP3 players, and televisions, I couldn't help but get into the Christmas spirit as these new gadget goodies are sure to be holiday hits. Just click through the slideshow to check out some of my faves!

It's certainly been awhile since we've heard anything about the
BlackJack II smartphone by Samsung, so I'm not surprised that some
freshly painted pink and blue BlackJack II's have been spotted in the wild — even though it's usually Palm
making all the cell phone color changes.
AT&T hasn't confirmed this great news just yet, but these candy colored phones are said to already be arriving in stores across the country and will cost around the same price as the basic black and wine colored BJ II's. Considering they're affordable and include geeky goodies like built-in GPS and Windows Mobile 6, these may be worth watching out for.

I love how Summer is halfway over - bite my tongue, did I honestly just say that?! - yet there are all these bright and vivacious digital cameras making their debut. I guess Fall is the new Summer?
