<b>DALLAS– February 9, 2011</b> - MetroPCS Communications, Inc. (NYSE: PCS), the nation’s leading provider of unlimited, no annual contract, flat-rate wireless service, and Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile), the number one mobile phone provider in the U.S. 1, today introduced the world’s first commercially available 4GLTE enabled Android™ smartphone, the <b>Samsung Galaxy Indulge™</b>. <br /> <br />At about half the cost of other 4G smartphone service plans today, consumers can truly have it all with MetroPCS’ $50 and $60 4GLTE smartphone service plans, which include all applicable taxes and regulatory fees. MetroPCS is delivering this unmatched value with unlimited talk, text and 4G LTE Web page browsing, along with data access to streaming audio, video and gaming content, downloads and Android applications. .<br /> <br />“Our commitment to offering premium, feature-rich smartphones was once again fulfilled today with the introduction of the Samsung Galaxy Indulge, which will allow consumers to experience the vast benefits of both MetroPCS’ 4GLTE services and the Android operating system,” said<b> Roger D. Linquist, president, CEO and chairman of MetroPCS</b>. “Mobile consumers no longer have to choose between low cost service and high-end Android handsets. Instead, they can truly have it all by being able to select from a full spectrum of feature and smartphones paired with 4GLTE services at an unmatched value.”<br /> <br />Powered by Android 2.2 (Froyo), the Galaxy Indulge is the perfect smartphone for those who want to manage every aspect of their lives from a mobile device. MetroPCS’ 4GLTE service delivers lightning fast Web page browsing and also allows customers to watch and listen to exclusive entertainment and multimedia content from their favorite shows through the MetroSTUDIO application. Quick access to the Android Market™ provides more than 100,000 applications to consumers’ fingertips and Android’s intuitive user interface with Samsung TouchWiz enhancements makes customizing the device’s home screens simple and easy. The Galaxy Indulge’s combination touch screen/QWERTY keyboard means consumers can send messages via e-mail, SMS or social media channels through whichever input method they choose.<br /> <br />“The Galaxy Indulge integrates two of Samsung’s core product investments; the Android platform and bringing powerful and intuitive 4G-enabled devices to the U.S. market,” said Omar Khan, chief strategy officer for Samsung Mobile. “The Galaxy Indulge is loaded with the speed of the Android OS, true mobile broadband connectivity and a 1GHz processor with rich multimedia features for premium movie and TV content.”<br /> <br />The Galaxy Indulge provides complete access to Google Mobile services, including Google Search™, Google Maps™, Gmail™ and YouTube™. This sleek smartphone features a 3 megapixel camera and camcorder with auto-focus, music player, Stereo Bluetooth® capabilities and expandable memory storage up to 32GB. Additionally, the Galaxy Indulge includes a 4GB microSD™ card, preloaded with the action film “IRONMAN 2,” produced by Paramount Pictures2.<br /> <br />The Samsung Galaxy Indulge is the second LTE-enabled mobile phone offered by MetroPCS, following the Samsung Craft TM which was introduced in late 2010.

<![CDATA[
<b>LAS VEGAS, NV, January 5, 2011</b> – Samsung Electronics America Inc., a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Corporation, today announced the launch of its first sliding tablet PC at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Equipped with Microsoft Windows 7 operating system and powered by the upcoming Intel® Atom™ processor platform, currently code-named “Oak Trail,” the PC 7 Series maximizes the benefits of a tablet PC with its compact, light design, and incorporates a sliding keyboard for easy typing, enhanced productivity and performance. The display elegantly slides up to reveal a physical keyboard giving the user the option of a multi-touch display or full keyboard and mouse interface.<br /><br />“With the proliferation of tablet devices, there is a demand from consumers that want the elegance, ease-of-use and portable form factor of a tablet but also the familiarity of a notebook,” said Scott Ledterman, director of mobile PC product marketing at Samsung Enterprise Business Division. “At first glance, the Samsung PC 7 Series is a compact, light-weight tablet featuring an intuitive touchscreen. However, once the display is slid into place, it reveals a physical keyboard that offers users the familiar keyboard/touchpad interface. The Samsung 7 Series is creating a category unto itself, with a total solution that is not only chic and convenient for content consumption, but also versatile enough for more intensive computing and content creation.”<br /><br />“The Samsung Sliding PC 7 Series is a great example of the deep collaboration between Microsoft and Samsung, from engineering to marketing,” said Steve Guggenheimer, corporate vice president of the OEM Division, Microsoft Corporation. “This joint innovation delivers a unique PC design and rich mobile computing experiences for our mutual customers.”<br /><br />“Innovative designs based on Intel Atom processors offer not only improved performance and sleeker devices, but also new, creative form factors,” said Doug Davis, vice president and general manager of the Netbook and Tablet Group at Intel. “The Samsung Sliding PC 7 Series demonstrates how state-of-the-art form factors can help consumers stay connected, while also providing rich, immersive PC-like experiences on the go.”<br /><br /><b>Pioneering Design </b><br />Weighing just 2.2 pounds, the Samsung Sliding PC 7 Series is easily packed into a briefcase and can be used for making presentations or for recording data on the fly. The 7 Series is suited for both indoor and outdoor use with 340-nit brightness 10.1-inch display supported by an enhanced HD resolution (1366 x 768). With its slim and light weight design, the 7 Series allows for mobility without compromising functionality in personal or professional settings.<br /><br />Everyone from students to mobile professionals can enjoy the convenience of Samsung’s Sliding PC 7 Series. The form factor is ideal for personal computing activities like watching movies or social networking, and can quickly adapt the needs of professional users presenting to clients or taking notes at a meeting. The device is also perfect for students, thanks to its handy, portable nature and focus on content. For those who prefer physical keyboards over a touch screen for quickly typing up notes or browsing the Web, the 7 Series features a full, 80/81-key keyboard sleekly tucked away under the display. At the user’s convenience, the keyboard slides out completely, creating a laptop-like interface coupled with the touch capabilities on the display. <br /><br />The six-cell lithium-polymer battery and innovative Eco Light Sensor, which conserves energy and adjusts screen brightness based on available ambient light, allows the 7 Series to last for up to 9 hours. <br /><br /><b>Innovative Mobile Computing</b><br />The ultra-light Samsung Sliding PC 7 Series is engineered with convenience and responsiveness in mind. Available in either 32GB or 64GB models, the 7 Series features expandable storage with the 4-in-1 memory card reader. The solid-state hard drive and Samsung’s Fast Start feature powers the 7 Series in as little as 15 seconds, or restores from Hibernate and Sleep modes in a mere 3 seconds. The SSD also fully supports multi-tasking not only in the Windows® mode, but also in touch mode, so users never have to slow down. <br /><br />Equipped with Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, the Samsung 7 Series provides familiarity and comfort to users while enhancing their overall experience. Users with entertainment in mind will benefit from high-resolution graphics and an HDMI port for sharing content on an HDTV. Additionally, the built-in webcam and audio speaker make the 7 Series ideal for video communication with family, friends and coworkers across the globe.<br /><br />Optional 3G connectivity takes the 7 Series to new levels, with Internet connectivity anywhere, anytime. Moreover, the built-in accelerometer enables portrait or landscape viewing, making the 7 Series perfect for reading daily news articles, or sharing photos with family and friends.<br /><br /><b>Application Ecosystem</b><br />The Sliding PC 7 Series comes with several pre-loaded applications that are optimized for the touch screen display. This includes Samsung’s applications for music, video, photos, note taking, weather, clock, compass and many more. In addition, Microsoft Bing™ Maps provides powerful tools that help get more out of search, including the intuitive Bing voice search, which enables users to type with their voice to find what they’re looking for. More robust touch applications will be available via the Samsung App Manager and Windows Product Scout. <br /><br />The Samsung 7 Series acts as a connective hub with other devices to improve the entertainment experience thanks to Samsung’s device-to-device connection solutions. Samsung AllShare™ enables users to control, search, swap and play videos, photos, and music across a full range of DLNA® (Digital Living Network Alliance) certified Samsung devices, ranging from cameras and smart phones to TVs and PCs.<br /><br />The Samsung 7 Series is scheduled to be available in March 2011, with a starting price of $699 MSRP.

<description>
<![CDATA[
<b>LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2011</b>—Today at the International Consumer Electronics Show, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and Adobe announced that Samsung’s Smart TV platform will be the first to integrate support for Adobe® AIR® 2.5 for TV, making it easy for developers to build, distribute and monetize standalone applications through Samsung’s Smart TV applications store, Samsung Apps. The integration of AIR for TV with Samsung’s Smart TV platform will create new opportunities for a growing community of more than three million Adobe Flash® Platform developers who can use Adobe Creative Suite 5 to author content for AIR for TV. All of Samsung’s 2011 Smart TVs and Smart Blu-ray players will include support for Adobe AIR for TV. <br /><br />Samsung also announced plans to bring Adobe Flash Player 10.1 to its Smart TV browser, extending the company’s current support for Flash Player 10.1 on Samsung smartphones and tablets. With the addition of Flash Player 10.1, users will enjoy a more complete web browsing experience on the TV, with access to millions of websites with rich videos, games and other multimedia content. <br /><br />“Adobe is a key partner for Samsung and we are thrilled to be the first TV manufacturer to support Adobe AIR across the Samsung Smart TV platform,” said<b> Boo-Keun Yoon, President of Samsung’s Visual Display Business.</b> “Together, Samsung and Adobe are transforming the ways in which consumers interact with devices and content, providing rich, interactive applications built with industry-leading, cross platform tools.”<br /><br />“Content publishers want to extend their reach from smartphones to the largest screen in the home – all without sacrificing the unique context and experience of each screen,” said <b>Shantanu Narayen, president and CEO of Adobe</b>. “Samsung is the first device manufacturer to embrace Adobe AIR for TV, and together we will enable developers to extend media applications, social games and other forms of rich content to televisions and a wide range of Samsung devices.” <br /><br />With Samsung’s Smart TV platform and Adobe AIR for TV, developers are able to leverage existing code to create and deliver standalone applications across devices and platforms. The Samsung Smart TV platform was built with the developer in mind, enabling content creators to develop applications on an open platform, using common web standards like Javascript and XML and now support for Adobe AIR. The platform uses a single Software Developer Kit (SDK) for Apps that runs across HDTVs, Blu-ray players and Blu-ray Home Theater systems so developers can write once and deploy apps across several platforms. This gives developers the opportunity for more versatile monetization and enables a consistent and intuitive experience for consumers.<br /><br />More information about Samsung’s Smart TV strategy and Samsung’s new partnerships was announced during Mr. Boo-Keun Yoon’s keynote address, which can now be viewed at www.samsungces2011.com.

<b>LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2011</b>—Today at the International Consumer Electronics (CES) Show, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., and Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA, CMCSK) jointly announced the companies’ partnership to continue to revolutionize the way consumers access content and watch TV. For the first time on a connected TV, the new Xfinity TV service will offer a rich, Web-like interface, enabling simpler navigation and the ability to seamlessly search across linear TV, DVR recordings, and video on demand among tens of thousands of content choices. A sleek graphics-rich display will guide the viewer to their favorite programming. <br /><br />The partnership also will deliver a customized and integrated multi-platform viewing experience on Samsung smart TVs and the Android™-powered Samsung Galaxy Tab. On the tablet, the Xfinity TV experience is a virtual television guide and a mobile video player all in one. Xfinity TV digital customers will be able to browse, discover and sort video content, change the channel on a Samsung smart TV in real time, and program DVRs. In addition, they can watch streaming TV programming and movies directly on the tablet, and access that content across multiple devices. The service’s roadmap includes the ability to begin watching a favorite movie on the Samsung Galaxy Tab, then pause the movie and resume watching it on a Samsung smart TV from the exact moment it was paused, and vice versa.<br /><br />The Xfinity TV service was unveiled today at the International Consumer Electronics Show by Comcast Chairman and CEO Brian L. Roberts during a keynote speech by Boo-Keun Yoon, president of Samsung’s Visual Display Business, and will also be demonstrated at the Samsung booth in the Central Hall. <br /><br />“As we begin this exciting new decade, Samsung is also launching a new era of TV technologies that will delight and amaze consumers unlike ever before,” said <b>Boo-Keun Yoon, president of Samsung’s Visual Display Business</b>. “To partner with the renowned Comcast brand enables us to deliver on our promise of giving consumers greater variety, easy access and control of the content they discover and deliver a more immersive and entertaining experience to Comcast customers.” <br /><br /><b>Brian L. Roberts, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Comcast Corporation</b>, said, “Our partnership with an industry leader like Samsung is another important step in Comcast’s plan to totally reinvent how consumers watch television wherever and whenever they want. We have the technology framework in place to deliver new features to Comcast customers faster than ever, including on connected TVs, tablets and multiple devices, which is core to our strategy and a key facet of the future of television.” <br /><br />The Xfinity TV experience will be distributed later this year on the Samsung smart TVs and on the application store for the Galaxy products interacting through the Comcast set-top box, giving consumers yet another access point for discovering and connecting to Comcast Xfinity TV services. Content can be watched through Samsung’s award-winning LED, LCD and PDP TV products that reflect the company’s commitment to delivering consumers high-quality, visually enhanced and connected entertainment experiences in their home. <br /><br />More information on Samsung’s smart TV strategy and Samsung’s partnership with Comcast were shared during Mr. Boo-Keun Yoon’s keynote address, which can now be viewed at <a href="http://www.samsungces2011.com" target="_blank" style="color:#1922dd">www.samsungces2011.com</a>. <br /><br /><b>About Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.</b><br />Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is a global leader in semiconductor, telecommunication, digital media and digital convergence technologies with 2009 consolidated sales of US$116.8 billion.

<![CDATA[
<b>LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2011</b>—Today, at the International Consumer Electronics Show, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., heralded a new era of digital technology, driven by the philosophy that companies must look to human nature to inspire technologies more uniquely fitted to the human experience. <br /><br />Samsung Visual Display President Boo-Keun Yoon dubbed this philosophy “Human Digitalism” in an original keynote event, which was designed to echo the completely immersive entertainment experience Samsung seeks to create through its award-winning 2011 home theater ecosystem lineup. As part of the hour-long performance, Mr. Yoon introduced new TV designs, new 3D TV features, and unique Smart TV partnerships with Adobe, Comcast, DreamWorks Animation, Hulu and Time Warner Cable. <br /><br />“The next step in the evolution of consumer electronics is to place human life at the center of the creative process,” Mr. Yoon said. “For Samsung, this means giving people access to entertainment experiences that complement rather than disrupt the way we live. We aimed to celebrate the curiosity, connection and exuberance of human nature throughout our keynote event.” <br /><br />President Yoon was joined on stage by a host of performers, including an 11-year-old boy named “Zoll,” who was born in the year 2000 and watched as technology evolved throughout his life. As the voice of 2011, “Zoll” personified a new generation of consumers that increasingly demand access to the content they want, when they want it, and on the screen or device of their choosing. Against a backdrop of stunning LED lighting and dramatic set changes, President Yoon and his guests brought to life four principles—dubbed the “Four As” of Access, Align, Amaze and Act—that will guide Samsung through the coming era of smart TV. <br /><br />The keynote also featured guest appearances by President Yoon; Comcast Chairman and CEO Brian Roberts; Time Warner Cable Chairman and CEO Glenn Britt; Hulu CEO Jason Kilar; Adobe President and CEO Shantanu Narayen; and DreamWorks Animation CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg. <br /><br /><b>Access: Simple, Intuitive Access to High-Quality Content</b><br />During the keynote, Yoon described how Samsung’s cloud-based platform is breaking down the walls between devices—such as smart TVs, smartphones, tablets, PCs, camcorders and cameras—and revealed new ways to access entertainment and information services through Samsung’s Internet-enabled products. “Samsung’s role in the smart TV ecosystem is to offer consumers more choice and more control,” Yoon said. “Our networked products and pioneering content partnerships will help us provide these benefits.” <br /><br />Among the announcements were new or expanded partnerships with Comcast and Time Warner Cable to bring streaming video-on-demand (VOD) services to Samsung Smart TV customers via the Samsung Apps storefront. Comcast’s Xfinity TV Application and a new VOD service from Time Warner Cable allow users to browse and view TV listings, VOD content, online video and DVR recordings on a Samsung smart TV or Samsung Galaxy Tab, and to switch from one screen to another without missing a beat. Samsung and Time Warner Cable also announced a partnership to deliver these enhanced content and navigation options across multiple smart TV screens, without the need for an additional set-top box. <br /><br />Also during the Samsung keynote address, Hulu CEO Jason Kilar announced for the first time that Hulu is working to bring the Hulu Plus subscription service to select Android phones (running Android OS 2.2). Hulu provided the audience a sneak peek to the new Hulu Plus Android app, which will give consumers exclusive access to full seasons of popular, current TV shows like Glee, Modern Family, The Office, and House, from ABC, Fox, NBC, and more for only $7.99 per month. Hulu Plus subscribers can already watch shows instantly via Samsung connected TVs and Blu-ray players and, in the coming months, on Android smartphones as well. <br /><br />The partnership with Adobe will open up new opportunities for more than three million Flash developers worldwide and deliver content and applications for entertainment, information services, social networking, gaming and more. Samsung announced that it is the first television manufacturer to support Adobe® AIR® 2.5 for TV, which allows developers to leverage existing code and familiar tools to create and extend applications across Samsung smartphones, tablets and smart TVs. Samsung is also bringing Adobe Flash® Player 10.1 to its smart TV browser, allowing consumers to access millions of sites with rich, Flash based videos, games and other multimedia content. <br /><br />When combined with the most intuitive user interface on the market, these partnerships will create a more seamless entertainment experience across Samsung’s Smart TV ecosystem. More information about Samsung’s partnership announcements is available at the Samsung CES microsite: <a href="http://www.SamsungCES2011.com" target="_blank" style="color:#1922dd">www.SamsungCES2011.com</a>. <br /><br /><b>Align: Products That Blend Seamlessly into Consumers’ Lifestyles</b><br />Yoon introduced a new design concept, called “One Design,” centered on the notion that smart TVs should blend seamlessly into their surroundings and more naturally accommodate consumers’ preferences for interacting with their TVs.<br /><br />“One of the greatest misconceptions people have about smart TV is that it is a PC on a bigger screen,” Yoon said. “But smart TV is still above all a TV, and it needs to give consumers a “lean-back experience” without any hassle and inconvenient keyboards. By letting people easily and comfortably control their smart TVs, Samsung is going to put TV back at the center of consumers’ entertainment experiences.” <br /><br />This concept was brought to life through the introduction of several new design elements, including innovative, super narrow TV bezels on select products in the 2011 TV lineup that give consumers a larger viewing screen without increasing the size of the TV. This new design concept gives consumers a total immersive viewing experience by allowing the bezel to become almost invisible. Additionally, Samsung demonstrated a new, more intuitive smart TV user interface that is accessible through Samsung’s Galaxy line of smartphones. Among other upgrades, the updated UI features an easy-to-use SearchAll function that can find content across live TV, apps, websites and any devices connected through the Samsung AllShare feature, such as a PC, camcorder, tablet or cell phone. <br /><br /><b>Amaze: A New Dimension of Enjoyment Through Completely Immersive Viewing Experiences</b><br />Outlining Samsung’s belief that consumers crave more realistic and immersive viewing experiences, Yoon announced a number of new content options and innovations for 3D TV, including new 3D innovations for Samsung Smart TVs. <br /><br />Under a newly expanded strategic alliance, Samsung and DreamWorks have agreed to explore ways to collaborate on the research and development of future technologies related to 3D TV and Smart TV. The two companies also plan to explore a new streaming 2D & 3D VOD service that would make DreamWorks Animation content available for download via the Samsung Apps store beginning in 2011. Further, consumers who purchase a new Samsung 3D TV will gain exclusive access to two of DreamWorks Animation’s new 3D Blu-ray titles, including Megamind, which will be made available in 2011. <br /><br /> Yoon said, “Like Smart TV, content is a key factor for enjoying 3D TV, and we are working hard to secure a wide selection of high-quality 3D content for our customers. By partnering with leading 3D content creators like DreamWorks Animation, we are enabling a complete 3D ecosystem.” <br /><br />Other new elements in the 3D ecosystem include Samsung’s innovative new 3D audio technology, which takes consumers even deeper into the viewing experience by simulating the height and depth of the audio track. 3D Sound uses technology that can distinguish between sounds that are in the foreground and background of a movie or TV show and then creates an immersive, life-like audio experience. Yoon also noted Samsung’s new 3D TVs and 3D Blu-ray disc players, and announced plans to offer devices like 3D cameras and camcorders that let consumers create their own 3D content. Additionally, Samsung introduced new prescription 3D glasses, designed by Silhouette to be lightweight and stylish to better fit consumers’ viewing preferences. On stage, Katzenberg helped Yoon demonstrate how the glasses could charge wirelessly, eliminating yet another cable from consumers’ living rooms. <br /><br /><b>Act: Commitment to a Healthy Planet</b><br />Through its “Planet First” initiative, which has been recognized for substantially reducing energy usage in consumer electronics, Samsung is honoring its commitment to putting human life at the center of everything the company does. Said Yoon, “Samsung is not only developing breakthrough technologies, but also taking care of the planet wherever we can. This is at the heart of human digitalism.” <br /><br />Yoon explained how using Samsung products is an eco-friendly act. For example, Samsung’s 2011 LED TVs use up to 40 percent less energy than LCD TVs. Additionally, Samsung was listed number one among global IT companies for Carbon Disclosure Leadership in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, and for the past two years has received the Energy Star label from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. Most recently, Samsung received the CES Eco-Design and Sustainable Technology Innovation Award. <br /><br />Yoon also described how Samsung is creating a greener future by actively seeking out greener energy sources like solar power to replace gas and petroleum. By 2020 the company will have invested $23 billion on green initiatives. <br /><br /><b>About Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. </b><br />Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is a global leader in semiconductor, telecommunication, digital media and digital convergence technologies with 2009 consolidated sales of US$116.8 billion. Employing approximately 174,000 people in 193 offices across 66 countries, the company consists of eight independently operated business units: Visual Display, Mobile Communications, Telecommunication Systems, Digital Appliances, IT Solutions, Digital Imaging, Semiconductor and LCD.

<![CDATA[
<b>LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2011</b>—At the International Consumer Electronics Show, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. and DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc. (Nasdaq: DWA) announced that the two leaders of technology and entertainment are joining forces for more immersive entertainment experiences in 2011. <br /><br />DreamWorks Animation CEO <b>Jeffrey Katzenberg</b> joined Samsung Visual Display President <b>Boo-Keun Yoon</b> on-stage Thursday for his keynote speech, during which the two companies described plans for an expanded strategic alliance. Consumers who purchase a new Samsung 3D TV will gain exclusive access to two of DreamWorks Animation’s new 3D Blu-ray titles, including Megamind, which will be made available in 2011. The animation studio and consumer electronics company also intend to explore joint research and development activities and a number of expanded co-marketing initiatives throughout the year. <br /><br />“As a technology leader, Samsung’s expanded alliance with DreamWorks Animation—recognized across the industry as a 3D entertainment innovator—marks our collective goal to offer consumers the best of technology and entertainment combined,” said Yoon. “Through this mutual relationship, DreamWorks Animation is helping us to create an increasingly immersive home entertainment experience for audiences at a moment’s notice.” <br /><br />“We have seen firsthand over the last 18 months why Samsung is the consumer electronics industry leader and a pioneer in bringing high-quality 3D experiences into the home in a meaningful way,” added Katzenberg. “We look forward to continuing our valued strategic alliance and furthering our reach in enabling audiences to bring more of their favorite DreamWorks Animation content to life at home.” <br /><br /><b>Expanded Collaboration for R&D and Co-Marketing</b><br />As part of their expanded collaboration efforts, the two companies have agreed to explore ways to work together on research and development of future technologies related to 3D TV and smart TV. In 2010, Samsung introduced the first 3D LED TV, and DreamWorks has been a leading entertainment provider of high-quality 3D films and Blu-ray discs. The two companies hope to combine their talents to improve home entertainment even further than they have today.<br /><br />In 2011, the 3D Blu-ray version of Megamind will become the next DreamWorks Animation title to be made available exclusively to purchasers of new Samsung 3D TVs as part of a bundled promotion. In addition, Samsung and DreamWorks Animation expect to increase their co-marketing and promotional activities in an effort to reach more consumers with their joint offerings. <br /><br /><b>More Immersive Content for Smart TVs</b><br />The two companies plan to explore a new streaming 3D Video-On-Demand (VOD) service that would make DreamWorks Animation content – trailers and promotions in both 3D and 2D – available for streaming via the 3D application for Samsung Smart TVs beginning in 2011. This represents an innovative new method by which film studios can use smart TV to reach consumers directly. Upon launch, consumers will be able to access VOD content through any of Samsung’s LED, LCD and Plasma 3D smart TVs, all of which deliver high-quality, visually enhanced and connected entertainment experiences to the home. <br /><br />The new VOD service aligns with Samsung’s goal of establishing a 3D ecosystem that provides a completely immersive and connected viewing experience for consumers. Additionally, the expanded relationship will help DreamWorks Animation to adapt its 3D home offerings to a new era of smart TV, in which viewers are increasingly accustomed to having access to their favorite content at the click of a button. <br /><br />With the launch of Samsung Apps in 2010, Samsung broadened the connected TV experience, bringing services such as full HD video, casual games, communications, social and location services, and text-based information to consumers. DreamWorks Animation joins more than 30 other industry-leading partners on Samsung Apps, including Blockbuster, Facebook, Netflix, Pandora, Twitter, USA TODAY, and Vudu, in bringing personalized, easy to use connected TV experiences to consumers. <br /><br /><b>About Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. </b><br />Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is a global leader in semiconductor, telecommunication, digital media and digital convergence technologies with 2009 consolidated sales of US$116.8 billion.

<title>Product News : SAMSUNG Previews New TV Accessories Line</title>
<link>http://www.samsung.com/us/news/newsRead.do?news_group=productnews=consumerproduct=tv=19791</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[
<b>LAS VEGAS, January 5, 2011</b> – <b>Samsung Electronics</b> Co. Ltd., today debuted a line of breakthrough TV accessories including:<br /><br />Light-weight prescription-ready 3D active glasses<br />Samsung’s first wireless charger for 3D active glasses<br />A Touch Control that offers remote TV viewing<br />A Skype™-certified high-definition (HD) TV camera that transforms televisions into large screen video phones<br /><br /> Samsung’s 2011 TV accessory line will be showcased at booth #12006 in the Central Hall at the International Consumer Electronics Show, which will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, January 6-9, 2011. The line includes four winners of the CES Innovations Design and Engineering Awards.<br /><br />“The TV accessories segment is is currently filled with clunky, “me too” products that provide limited benefits. As the leader in TV manufacturing, we wanted to create complementary TV accessories that are unique, highly-functional and beautifully designed,” said <b>Sangchul Lee, Senior Vice President, Visual Display Business</b> at Samsung Electronics. “From the Touch Control, inspired by Samsung smart phones, to the world’s first prescription-ready 3D active glasses, Samsung’s commitment to technology innovation is crystal clear in the new accessories line.”<br /><br /><b>Feather-Light and Fast 3D Active Glasses that Support Prescription Lenses</b><br /><br />Since the best possible 3D TV experience is one that encourages immersive viewing, Samsung has redesigned its 3D active glasses to offer maximum picture quality, comfort, extended wear and an attractive design. Weighing just under an ounce at 0.06 lbs, the world’s lightest 3D active glasses (model SSG-3700CR) were completely restructured to achieve a 25 percent weight reduction when compared to previous glasses. The <b>SSG-3700CR</b> has a redesigned component layout and uses lighter material, a smaller print circuit board and RF technology for more reliable connections.<br /><br />However, these weight reductions do not compromise performance. Samsung also cut the LCD response time to improve the contrast ratio. The net result is a brighter 3D picture with less cross-talk (ghosting) and viewing fatigue.<br /><br />Viewers who wear eyeglasses can order special prescription lenses that attach to the SSG-3700CR so they can enjoy 3D TV with only one pair of glasses. For those who prefer to wear their own eyeglasses, Samsung has incorporated a new temple design that connects to the top of the LCD frame for a greater range of movement and to minimize the possibility of breaking. The frame and temples are made of a flexible material used in regular eyeglasses so the SSG-3700CR’s temples can stretch and bend to accommodate virtually any size head. The glasses also have an adjustable, removable nose pad and enhanced weight balance thanks to the new placement of the printed circuits and batteries behind each ear.<br /><br />Recharging is simple, either via the included USB cable or optional Samsung wireless charger. Additionally, the SSG-3700CR includes an indicator on the side of the glasses that gauges battery life. The glasses automatically turn on when moved or placed on the face and power off when motion or touch is not detected by the embedded motion and accelerometer sensors.<br /><br /><b>Watch Programs on the 3” LCD Touch Control for Smart TVs</b><br /><br /><b>The Touch Control</b> (model RMC30D1) operates almost entirely through a touch screen. Not only can users continue to watch TV programs on the remote’s 3-inch LCD screen when they’re out of the room, when paired with select premium Samsung TVs, the Touch Control’s multi display feature lets users continue to watch TV on the screen even while a Blu-ray is being played on the TV. Content playing on the TV from connected components, such as Blu-ray players, DVD products and more can also be watched on the remote.<br /><br />The Touch Control has an advanced processor to support the evolution of television from a passive viewing device to a living room media hub. When connected to a home wireless network, the Touch Control can access Samsung Apps, such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, even when the TV is off. A QWERTY keyboard appears on the touch screen when text entry is needed.<br /><br />The RMC30D1 has a stylish glossy black finish with sleek, silver metal trim which was inspired by Samsung’s sophisticated smart phone design. The touch screen offers full control of TV features with only two physical buttons – power and function – thereby eliminating the awkward, cluttered button look on conventional TV remotes.<br /><br /><b>Simple Charging Solution with the Stylish Wireless Charger</b><br /><br />Samsung’s wireless charger (model CY-SWC1000A) charges up to four pairs of 3D active glasses through an elegant, glossy black cylinder that resembles a classic men’s top hat. An internal LED light will pulse softly to show recharging is in progress.<br /><br />Using electromagnetic induction technology and operating on standard household electricity, the CY- SWC1000A is highly efficient at transferring electric energy to devices on the surface of the charger. The time taken to charge Samsung’s 2011 3D active glasses (models SSG-3700CR, SSG-3300GR, SSG-3300CR) on the wireless charger is similar to a wired charge.<br /><br /><b>Control Home Entertainment Wirelessly</b><br /><br />Samsung is offering two wireless accessories to help make the TV the center of the home network. The new Samsung wireless router (model CY-SWR1100) provides easy-set-up and an optimized solution for Samsung TVs. It includes Samsung’s patented One Foot Connection, which establishes a Wi-Fi connection to Samsung 2011 TVs and other compatible devices. During the initial set-up, users simply need to put the router within one foot of these devices to establish a connection; the router can subsequently be moved to any part of the home while still maintaining this connection.<br /><br />The Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter (model WISO9ABGN) provides access to Internet-based content via Samsung Apps. It also connects Samsung TVs wirelessly to multimedia devices, including Samsung’s Touch Control, PCs, cameras, Blu-ray disc players, mobile phones and more. The WISO9ABGN supports DLNA 1.5 and 802.11 a/b/g/n.<br /><br /><b>Samsung’s TV Camera Brings Videophones to the Big Screen</b><br /><br />Samsung’s TV camera (model CY-STC1100) transforms Samsung TVs into large-screen, living room videophones. Unlike other TV cameras, the Samsung TV camera for Skype addresses the key challenges encountered when making a call in a living room versus at a computer, such as low light and seating distance from the TV, which can diminish video quality and sound. The TV camera, which enables video calls on a Samsung TV without a headset or webcam, features a built-in HD sensor (720p at 30 fps), auto focus to keep the subject in-focus even when shifting positions, four high-fidelity microphones to capture voice at up to 13 feet away with ambient noise, and advanced HD video encoding.<br /><br />Installing the Samsung TV camera is easy. Users simply plug the USB cable into the TV and attach the TV camera to the back of the TV using the camera’s magnets. The CY-STC1100’s slim design, at slightly more than a half an inch thick, helps it blend well with even the thinnest Samsung TVs. A flexible camera neck wraps around the top of the TV, easily allowing the user to adjust the lens position and identify the perfect shooting angle.<br /><br /><b>Additional New TV Accessories and Line Availability</b><br /><br />Samsung is also previewing four categories HDMI cables with basic, swivel and premium connectors as well as three ultra-slim wall mounts for LED and Plasma TVs.<br /><br />The full line of Samsung accessory products will be available in the first half of 2011.<br /><br />CES-specific information may be found at <a href= "www.samsungces2011.com" target="_blank" style="color:#192266">www.samsungces2011.com</a>.

<title>Product News : SAMSUNG Showcases Breakthrough Design Innovations And SMARTER LED TV Products For 2011</title>

<![CDATA[
<b>LAS VEGAS, January 5, 2011</b> – At the International Consumer Electronics Show, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., today unveiled new LED TV series that redefine the home entertainment experience and add a touch of refined elegance, simplicity and luxury to any home. The new smart TVs address consumers’ growing need for greater choice and control over how and when they access content. <br /><br />Samsung will be augmenting its extensive product lines by previewing at CES more than 40 new models with screen sizes from 19-inches to 65-inches. The new TVs offer dramatically enhanced picture quality in 2D, 3D, HD and streaming content, as well as richer connected entertainment options delivered through one of the most comprehensive offering of apps and connected devices. <br /><br />Samsung’s 2011 line-up combines elegant styling with a wide range of higher-end features previously exclusive to premium sets, including 3D capabilities and improved, advanced smart TV features so that people get the most out of their entertainment experience. Select models will offer Samsung’s new Smart Hub, which includes:<br /><br />· Search All, which makes it easier to search for desired content on your TV and other DLNA-certified connected media storage devices, networked PC and mobile devices, and Internet and video-on-demand services.<br /><br />· Your Video, which delivers recommendations based on a user’s viewing history.<br /><br />· Web Browser, which offers full web browsing right from your TV.<br /><br />· Samsung Apps, the world’s first HDTV-based application store, which offers a range of paid and free apps that help people connect to their various passions – whether in sports, entertainment, information, games or social networking. <br /><br />Samsung will also expand the number of 3D TV models available in 2011 so more people can enjoy 3D home entertainment at affordable prices. Consumers will be able to choose from a wide range of TVs to suit any home and lifestyle needs. Several TVs sport new innovative, ultra-thin TV bezels that give consumers a larger viewing screen without increasing the size of the TV. The new bezels are the result of extensive design research, Samsung’s proprietary new panel technology and innovative signal processing technology. <br /><br />As the pioneer in 3D home entertainment, Samsung realized that consumers are increasingly choosing larger TV screens to fully experience immersive 3D entertainment, and today also previewed a 75-inch LED TV. <br /><br />The latest TV lineup will be on display at Samsung’s booth #12006 in the Central Hall at the International Consumer Electronics Show, which will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), January 6-9, 2011. The LED D8000 series TV, a CES 2011 Innovations Design and Engineering Award winner, will also be on display in the Grand Lobby at the LVCC. <br /><br />“As we enter a new era of immersive and inclusive entertainment, Samsung has redefined the visual elements that will make our TVs the centerpiece of any room,” said Sangchul Lee, Senior Vice President, Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “People want to stay connected to the relationships and information that are important to them, and our latest line-up reflects a vision where smarter technology virtually and physically connects users through shared moments in the comfort of their homes.” <br /><br /><b>Deep Focus on Immersive and Smart Entertainment Supported by Breakthrough Engineering and Design</b><br />As the No. 1 brand for TVs in the US and globally, Samsung led the industry in 2010 with the launch of the world’s first 3D TV and today holds over 70 percent of the market share in the US. As 3D content becomes more prevalent, the company expects more consumers to opt for 3D features in their TVs. To this end, it aims to reduce the cost of acquiring a 3D entertainment system – 3D TV, Blu-ray player, 3D glasses and content – in 2011 by more than two-thirds and making 3D features available in a wider range of models. <br /><br />Samsung also successfully reduced the bezel size by up to 80 percent – an engineering feat – so that the thin bezel blends in easily with the environment, almost becoming invisible to the viewer, and becomes even less of a distraction when watching 3D. <br /><br />The reduction in bezel size means consumers can enjoy a larger viewing screen and wider viewing angle without having to increase the physical size of their TVs, and makes using social applications like Skype and YouTube, browsing the Web, sharing content and playing games that much more inclusive. <br /><br />Samsung expects 2011 to be a watershed year for connected TV. Almost all of Samsung’s new 40-inch and above 2011 TVs will offer smart TV features, making it even easier for viewers to engage their passions by accessing Web-delivered content on their big digital screens. <br /><br /><b>The Ultimate Entertainment Showpiece with Bespoke Design Features and True-to-Life Picture Quality </b><br />The first thing you notice about the LED D8000 series is its barely visible 0.2” brushed metal bezel, a fine line that subtly frames the rich content on the screen and enhances the TV’s light form factor. The D8000 Series continues the minimalist style of the award-winning C8000 Series and uses an improved Quad Stand to ensure ultimate harmony between the TV and its environment. <br /><br /><center><img src="/us/images/news/LED8000.jpg"></center><br /><br />With a 240Hz refresh rate, 2 millisecond motion picture response time (MPRT) and improved LED backlight scanning, this CES Innovation Award honoree offers true-to-life 2D, 3D and HD images with outstanding clarity. In addition to the Ultra Clear Panel, the TV is the first to offer Micro Dimming Plus technologies to provide the richest, most lifelike pictures with deep blacks and pure whites. <br /><br />The D8000 Series comes with Samsung’s new 3D glasses and Samsung’s innovative Touch Control that can also stream TV programs to its built-in 3” LCD screen, almost like a second TV, even while a Blu-ray disc is being played on the TV. <br /><br />The D8000 has a built-in Wi-Fi connection and many convenient ways to manage and display content through Samsung’s Smart Hub portal. The set can connect to other devices using DLNA or Samsung's patented One Foot Connection technology. <br /><br /><b>Setting Up Full 3D Becomes a Breeze With the World’s First Auto 3D Format Setup Function </b><br />The Samsung LED D7000 Series represents a successful balance of high technology with minimalist design aesthetics. The stunningly thin 0.2” black bezel is framed by a jewel-like transparent bezel that uses Samsung's award-winning Touch of Color™ (ToC™) dual-injection mold technology to reflect a hint of red along the crystal bezel’s edge. The Quad Stand is slimmer than the one introduced in 2010, yet its lower height manages to keep the TV stable and sturdy while maintaining an air of elegance.<br /><br /><center><img src="/us/images/news/led2.jpg"></center><br /><br />Watching 3D content has never been easier – with the Auto 3D Format Setup, the TV automatically detects the encoding format (i.e. side-by-side and top-bottom) when playing 3D content and viewers can now sit back and let their smart TV configure the content for the best viewing experience. <br /><br />The LED D7000 also incorporates improved backlight scanning technology and Auto Motion Plus, Samsung’s proprietary frame interpolation algorithm, to create sharp 2D and 3D pictures and smooth frame transitions without blurring, even for video moving at top speeds; 3D picture quality is also improved as a result of Samsung’s new 3D Peak Algorithm. <br /><br />With Smart Hub, the LED D7000 Series is the ideal media center, complementing consumers’ ever connected and mobile lifestyles. <br /><br /><b>The Ideal Value Model TV for an Immersive 3D Experience </b><br />For the consumer looking to embrace 3D entertainment without breaking the bank, the Samsung LED D6400 Series TV is the ideal 120Hz 3D LED TV, offering stunningly clear 3D pictures with the world's best panel technology and proprietary image-improving techniques. Samsung’s unique double-rate frame transition technology – the world’s fastest – also reduces the picture frame transition time by 50 percent to enhance the viewing quality of 3D content.<br /><br /><center><img src="/us/images/news/led3.jpg"></center><br /><br />The LED D6400 also offers Samsung’s narrow bezel design to deliver a more immersive 3D viewing experience. The prism-like ToC™ thin bezel has a hint of red that is barely visible from the front, but intensifies as the viewer moves to the side to minimize distractions while watching 3D, 2D, HD or streaming content. <br /><br />Samsung’s 3D Peak Algorithm reduces average power consumption by about 15 percent while increasing peak brightness by 20 percent. Its unique Motion Adaptive Dimming algorithm also reduces power consumption up to 20 percent by controlling LED brightness, according to motion vectors in the picture. In addition, LED 6400 was developed using Samsung’s eco-friendly design technologies and seeks to minimize its environmental footprint during its life-cycle.<br /><br /><br /><b>About Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. </b><br />Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is a global leader in semiconductor, telecommunication, digital media and digital convergence technologies with 2009 consolidated sales of US$116.8 billion. Employing approximately 174,000 people in 193 offices across 66 countries, the company consists of eight independently operated business units: Visual Display, Mobile Communications, Telecommunication Systems, Digital Appliances, IT Solutions, Digital Imaging, Semiconductor and LCD.

<description>
<![CDATA[
<b>LAS VEGAS, January 5, 2011</b> – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today previewed new, stylish home theater systems that combine Blu-ray integration (select models) and wireless features with superior sound quality to complement the breadth of content that people watch in their home, whether it is 3D, 2D, HD or streaming content. <br /><br />New products from the market leader and award-winning innovator in consumer electronics include:<br /><br />· A unique, modular, cubic Blu-ray home theater system (model HT-D7100);<br /><br />· A 7.1 channel home theater system with new surround sound technologies, a wideband amp and super tweeter speakers for warmer, more natural sound (model HT-D6730W);<br /><br />· The world’s first 7.1 channel AV receiver system with Blu-ray playback, 3D viewing and Internet services in one integrated component (model HW-D7000); and<br /><br />· A next-generation sound bar that delivers high-quality 3D audio (model HW-D550)<br /><br />These home theater systems will be on display at Samsung’s booth #12006 in the Central Hall at the International Consumer Electronics Show, which will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), January 6-9, 2011. Samsung won CES 2011 Innovations Design and Engineering Awards for the HT-D7100, HT-D6730W, HW-D7000 and the HW-D550, which will be on display in the Grand Lobby at the LVCC. The HT-C9950W, a 2010 Blu-ray home theater system offering premium sound quality and a sleek design, was also an award honoree and will be included in the display. <br /><br />“3D has captured people’s imagination and our new home theater line offers superior sound to create the best movie theater-like, immersive entertainment experience at home,” said Sangchul Lee, Senior Vice President, Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Samsung continues to design innovative products to suit a wide range of lifestyles, homes and wallets. We’re pleased that the industry has already recognized several of our new products as one of the most innovative at CES.” <br /><br /><b>Cubic Design Packs In a Home Theater Punch</b><br />Bringing the 3D movie experience in theaters home, the innovative Samsung HT-D7100 3D Blu-ray theater system has a unique, modular cubic design. It supports full HD 1080p video playback for both Blu-ray and standard DVDs, and can also up-convert older, non-HD content so that it can be played at full 1080p. The HT-D7100 also has a powerful video processor to convert 2D content to 3D.<br /><br /><center><img src="/us/images/news/htd7100.jpg"></center><br /><br />Honored with a CES Innovations Design and Engineering Award, the HT-D7100 features satellite speakers with a distinctive metallic retro design. Each separate component is small enough to be placed on a bedroom table or bookshelf, making it the ideal system for people who have small living spaces but still want robust sound output (110 watts). <br /><br />The main receiver has built-in Wi-Fi for wireless access to interactive and web-based content through Smart Blu-ray Home Theater features. It also features AllShare™, which allow people to wirelessly sync digital devices so that they can enjoy music, movies and photos directly from their DLNA-certified PC, camera and mobile devices on their larger TV screen. <br /><br />The HT-D7100 packs in many premium audio formats, including Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. It has an advanced, built-in DPS effect generator, called 3D Sound, which creates an immersive audio experience when watching 3D content and generates sounds that move with the 3D picture. With Samsung’s improved Crystal Sound Plus technology, the HT-D7100 generates accurate sound reproduction that protects the listener and the equipment from potentially harmful volume peaks and signal distortion that can damage hearing and the speakers. <br /><br /><b>Warm and Natural Sounding 7.1 Channel Home Theater System</b><br />Another CES Innovation and Design Award winner, the Samsung HT-D6730W delivers high-fidelity, robust audio.

<title>Product News : SAMSUNG Unveils Broadest Range Of Ultra-Slim, High Peformance Plasma TVS</title>
<link>http://www.samsung.com/us/news/newsRead.do?news_group=productnews=consumerproduct=tv=19782</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[
<b>LAS VEGAS, January 5, 2011</b> – At the International Consumer Electronics Show, Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd., continued to raise the industry bar for plasma TVs with its extended plasma TV line-up of 16 new models across six product series. <br /><br />Offering breathtaking picture quality, advanced connectivity options and superior audio-visual technologies, Samsung’s 2011 ultra-slim plasma TVs add a touch of sophistication and style to any home. All new plasma TVs also offer Samsung’s breakthrough Plasma+1 design, which features a new narrow bezel design that adds 1” of viewable screen size over last year’s products for a greater viewing area without increasing the outside dimensions of the set. The TVs also offer richer connected entertainment options through one of the most comprehensive offering of apps and connected devices, so that people get the most out of their entertainment experience. Select models will offer Samsung’s new Smart Hub, which includes:<br /><br />· Search All, which makes it easier to search for desired content on your TV and other DLNA-certified connected media storage devices, networked PC and mobile devices, and Internet and video-on-demand services.<br /><br />· Your Video, which delivers recommendations based on a user’s viewing history.<br /><br />· Web Browser, which offers full web browsing right from your TV.<br /><br />· Samsung Apps, the world’s first HDTV-based application store, which offers a range of paid and free apps that help people connect to their various passions – whether in sports, entertainment, information, games or social networking. <br /><br />The latest TV lineup will be on display at Samsung’s booth #12006 in the Central Hall at the International Consumer Electronics Show, which will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), January 6-9, 2011. The Samsung Plasma D6500 series TVs, a CES 2011 Innovations Design and Engineering Award winner, will also be on display in the Grand Lobby at the LVCC. <br /><br />“Samsung continues to deliver against its promise to create products that evolve with the needs and desires of our customers. We expect 3D and smart TV features to become mainstream as people realize the benefits,” said <b>Sangchul Lee, Senior Vice President, Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics.</b> “Such immersive and smart entertainment is best experienced on larger screens and our Plasma+1 feature, a result of breakthrough engineering and design, means more people can enjoy this at home without an increase in cost.” <br /><br />As the No. 1 brand for TVs in the US and globally, Samsung led the industry in 2010 with the launch of the world’s first 3D TV and today holds over 70 percent of the market share in the US. As 3D content becomes more prevalent, the company expects more consumers to opt for 3D features in their TVs. To this end, it aims to reduce the cost of acquiring a 3D entertainment system – 3D TV, Blu-ray player, 3D glasses and content – in 2011 by more than two-thirds and making 3D features available in a wider range of models. <br /><br />The increase in screen size facilitiates greater interaction and a more immersive overall picture experience when viewing 3D TV content, movies or gaming.<br /><br />Stylish TV with Outstanding Picture Quality and a Larger Viewing Screen. <br /><br />Samsung’s Plasma D8000 Series is a Full HD plasma TV that is designed to deliver our best viewing experience in 2D and 3D. The D8000 Series features a dark metallic bezel combined with Samsung’s ToC™ border for an understated cool elegance associated with luxury items. More importantly, the thinner bezel makes possible the added inch in screen size without an increase in the overall size of the TV. <br /><div style="margin-left:150px"><br /><img src="/us/images/news/pdp8000.jpg"></div><br /><br />The Plasma D8000 Series features Samsung’s Real Black Filter technology, which reduces the onscreen glare to produce darker blacks and sharper images. The plasma panel has also been redesigned to deliver outstanding black luminance. The TV also includes Samsung’s proprietary Crystal Full HD engine with Cinema Smooth technology that delivers smoother motion effects when watching their favorite Blu-ray discs. These features combine to give the D8000 Series a dynamic contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1, and pristine depth and dimension to onscreen images. <br /><br />The Plasma D8000 Series is also compatible with Samsung’s 3D active glasses and multi-display Touch Control. This remote can be a second portable TV, offers a QWERTY keyboard for easy text input during web browsing and acts as a universal remote control for your onscreen content. With built-in Wi-Fi, viewers have access to Smart Hub to view and search for content on Samsung Apps or on DLNA-certified devices. <br /><br />Solid All-Round Performer with Advanced Connectivity Options, 3D Video Processing Technology and Stunning Design <br /><br />Samsung’s ultra-slim Plasma D6500 Series is a 1080p 3D TV that offers a range of features that makes it an outstanding all-round choice for those looking to enhance their TV experience. <br /><br />The Plasma D6500 Series offers a dichotomy in design texture, between cold, black metal and warm, smooth glass. The cabinet consists of a brushed metallic black frame and the translucent mold that encases the frame and uses Samsung’s ToC™ technology to create a luxurious finish. The same pattern is reflected in the silver stand, where a reinforced glass neck is attached to a black matte metal base. With the narrow bezel, Samsung TVs can fit into viewing spaces previously reserved for smaller screen sizes, so for example, a 51-inch TV can fit into a spot previously occupied by a 50-inch screen. <br /><br />With Samsung’s built-in 3D processing technology, viewers can easily up-convert 2D content and render it in high-definition 3D for a richer, more immersive entertainment experience. Its powerful system-on-chip not only renders standard 2D content into 3D entertainment in real-time, but also offers video-enhancing tools that produce sharp, color-rich and smooth pictures. The Plasma D6500 Series connects seamlessly to Samsung’s 3D active glasses, thereby eliminating problems such as interference and strict line-of-sight requirements, so that viewers can enjoy a more stable image and greater flexibility to watch the television from practically any viewing angle. <br /><br />With built-in Wi-Fi, viewers can also stream content to the Plasma D6500 Series from other DLNA-certified devices using Samsung AllShare, as well as access to a broad range of apps via Samsung Apps. <br /><br />CES-specific information may be found at <a href="http://www.samsungces2011.com" target="_blank" style="color:#1922dd">www.samsungces2011.com</a>.

<![CDATA[
<b>CES, Las Vegas – January 4, 2011</b> - Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, a global leader in digital media and digital convergence technologies, announced today the launch of the new <b>SH100</b>, a compact Wi-Fi enabled camera that delivers great shots that you can share over the internet and social networks with your friends and family, from wherever you are in the world. The SH100 is set to be Samsung’s leading fully connected camera in 2011, building on the success of the company’s wirelessly connected cameras to date and allowing Samsung to take a dominant position within this growing market.<br /><br />Samsung’s pioneering steps within the connected camera market can be seen in the SH100’s unique innovation, which allows you to connect wirelessly to your other devices with ease. You can use Wi-Fi to connect to your Android® powered Galaxy S™ smartphone, so you can view the shot you’re about to take in real time on your phone. If you’re not happy with it, you can zoom in and out to get the best picture, and then activate the shutter remotely when you’re ready to pose. . This innovation means that the days of running between your camera and your subject, trying to line up the perfect group shot, are over. Users now have total control of their camera in the palm of their hand, from wherever they are in the shot. Users can even use their phone’s GPS to record exactly where they were when they captured their favorite memories. <br /><br />The SH100’s built in Wi-Fi can also automatically back up your shots to your PC by only pushing two buttons, or by using DLNA to wirelessly connect to your HDTV and see your photos and videos right away. Wi-Fi enables you to upload your pictures instantly to your social networking sites such as Facebook, Picasa or Photo Bucket, or email them to individual email addresses straight from the camera. The people you care about can now enjoy your experience from wherever they are. You can also record HD video and share your favorite moments over sites such as YouTube™. To make the upload process of large files easier and quicker, the SH100 includes an account with mobile hotspot provider Boingo™, giving you access to over 200,000 Wi-Fi hotspots worldwide. <br /><br />The SH100 is the latest example of Samsung’s user-focused innovation and design. The company has always carefully researched its target audience, and in 2011, Samsung is applying this research to create unique products for a younger, more digitally connected generation of camera users. The company is also leveraging its strength in other product areas, such as mobile phones, to make emerging camera technologies, such as Wi-Fi, accessible to all camera buyers, even those on smaller budgets. <br /><br />“At Samsung, we are always striving to innovate and you can see this in every product we release,” said <b>Mr. Hyunho Chung, Executive Vice President and Head of the Digital Imaging Business, Samsung Electronics</b>. “From our in-depth consumer research, we know that younger users have different needs from their digital camera. They don’t want to wait until they get home to share their favorite moments with their friends, they want to be able to do this instantly from wherever they are. The SH100 gives young people the chance to bring their world closer, by drawing on Samsung’s technological strength to deliver total connectivity in a compact camera, at an accessible price. Through the SH100, we hope to provide the best product for people looking for ultimate connectivity from their camera, and strengthen Samsung’s leadership in the compact camera category.” <br /><br />Experience the Convenience<br /><br />The SH100 uses built in Wi-Fi capability to deliver unique new experiences for all camera users. By selecting the PC Auto Back-up function, your camera will automatically find your PC and download the latest photos onto it, even if the PC is turned off. This feature is compatible with the Wake-on-LAN (WoL) system which many modern home PCs are already equipped with. <br /><br />Innovation in Control Helps you Capture the Moment<br /><br />The Wi-Fi capability on the SH100 also allows you to use your smartphone as a remote control and viewing device for your camera. If you’re shooting over a crowd at a concert, you can enable the Remote Viewfinder function, meaning that you can hold your camera high over your head while you see a preview of the picture in real time on your phone screen. It’s also ideal for taking self shots as you can zoom in and out using the 5x optical zoom, and access basic menu functions including parameters and shooting modes. When you’re happy with the shot, you can operate the shutter remotely too, and the camera will record the GPS information for photo geo-tagging. <br /><br />Seamlessly Simple<br /><br />Samsung has also used its strength in the smartphone market to develop a new Smart Access user interface (UI) for all of its new compact cameras. The touch based UI works in the same quick, intuitive way as many smartphones. Advanced functions, such as sharing content wirelessly, can be done simply by a few touches of the buttons on the large, clear 3” LCD screen. The Smart Access UI enables users to drag, click and control ‘app-style’ icons, easily flip through photos, and control a range of the camera’s features.<br /><br />The Heart of your Digital Home<br /><br />The SH100 features Samsung AllShare, which uses DLNA technology to allow you to connect to your HDTV and stream content wirelessly. For instance, when you get home from a concert, you can now watch the videos of your favorite songs instantly on your TV. <br /><br />Android and Youtube are registered trademarks of Google Inc. Boingo is a registered trademark of Boingo Wireless, Inc<br /><br />Specification Sheet<br /><br />SH100<br />Image Sensor: 1/2.33″ (Approx. 7.76mm) CCD, 14.2 Megapixel<br />Zoom: Still Image mode : 1.0X ~ 5.0X, Play mode: 1.0X ~ 12X <br />Lens: SAMSUNG Lens f = f4.7-23.5mm (f26∼130m 35mm film equivalent)<br />Image Stabilization: DIS (Digital Image Stabilization)<br />Dimensions: 93mm X 53.9mm X 18.9mm (TBD)<br />DLNA: DLNA Compatible: DMS & MRCP<br />- Still Image(2M), Movie(720p)<br />- DLNA with DTV : DMS & MRCP<br />Device Connection: Camera to Camera<br />- Movie Clip Size Max 35MB, Imaage Size Max 10MB<br />- Should be compatible among CL65, CL80, ST80 for Image Sharing<br />- Movie file Sharing available between ST5500, ST80 and SH100<br />AP Connection: Global : Boingo SDK & AP Compatible, Korea : KT<br />Auto Backup: Basic Function for PC<br />- Backup Program Install > Backup > Auto Power Off<br />- Wake-on-Lan supporting PC <br />- Prerequisite : No CMOS PW, NO Windows PW Condition<br />- Backup Program Install > Auto Power-on > Backup > Auto Power Off<br />Additional features:<br />Smart Auto 2.0<br />Smart Filter 2.0<br />Self Portrait<br />Face Recognition<br />Beauty Shot<br />Out-focus Portrait<br />Wireless connection (802.11b/g/n)<br />Pricing: $199.99 <br />Availability: March<br /><br /><b>About Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd</b><br />Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. is a global leader in semiconductor, telecommunication, digital media and digital convergence technologies with 2009 consolidated sales of US$116.8 billion.

<![CDATA[
<b>LAS VEGAS, NV, January 5, 2011</b> – Samsung Electronics America Inc., a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Corporation, today announced from the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas the latest line up of 3D computer displays, HDTV/ monitors and a Home Theater projector incorporating Samsung’s proprietary 3D technology. Available in 23- and 27-inch configurations, the 7 and 9 Series monitors, along with the<b> SP-A8000 </b>1080p 3D Home Theater projector, will be available on display at Central Hall booth #12006, January 6-9, 2011.<br /><br />“With the explosion in entertainment content from 3D films, television and video games and the increased availability of 3D capture devices like cameras and webcams, gamers, home entertainment enthusiasts and content creators are demanding more functionality from their display devices,” said<b> Young Bae, director of display marketing, Samsung Enterprise Business Division</b>. “Consumers will not only enjoy the latest in Samsung display technology for the best possible 2D experience with the 7 and 9 Series monitors, they will also be able to enjoy a wide variety of native 3D content and, on some models, even watch 2D content in 3D thanks to Samsung’s real-time 2D to 3D conversion technology.<br />”<br /><b><u>Innovative 3D Performance</b></u><br />Samsung has reinvented the 3D monitor experience to allow its users to experience the wide variety of 3D content now available. Unlike other 3D solutions, which only work for video gaming, Samsung’s new 3D monitors and HDTV/monitors also allow users to enjoy 3D movies, 3D TV and user-created 3D content like 3D photos and 3D videos. In order to do this, Samsung has created a new 3D technology, based on 3D panels available only in Samsung displays.<br /><br />The proprietary Samsung 3D panel gives the 7 and 9 Series monitors a hyper realistic 3D playback, which makes them ideal for immersion in intense PC or console gaming, or for watching action-packed video content like movies and sports.<br /><br />The 950 Series Monitor and the 7 and 9 Series HDTV/Monitors can automatically analyze and render 2D content in real-time to stunning 3D, supporting not only PC content, but also content from Blu-ray players, gaming consoles and set-top boxes.<br /><br />Offering a complete 3D solution in a single package, the 7 and 9 Series feature a built-in glasses sync emitter, and they are packaged with a pair of 3D active-shutter glasses and middleware for 3D gaming.<br /><br />The 7 and 9 Series offer Samsung’s highest quality monitor image in a TN panel—whether for 2D or 3D content. Users will experience the ultimate in color and clarity with Samsung’s new Ultra Clear Panel technology, which combines the vibrancy of a glossy display while maintaining the ease of viewing afforded by an anti-glare matte finish. The LED-backlit panel boasts 100% sRGB coverage, for the most realistic color reproduction.<br /><br />In addition to these monitors, Samsung further demonstrates its commitment to 3D display technology with the SP-A8000 3D projector. Home users looking to enjoy 3D in a group setting will be able to do so, thanks to the large image the SP-A8000 can project. The 1,000 ANSI lumen SP-A8000 features a single-bulb, single-lens design. The SP-A8000 also benefits from Samsung’s 3D engine and can convert 2D content to 3D, affording a realistic image and genuine 3D end result.<br /><br /><b>Sophisticated Styling</b><br />Style-conscious consumers will appreciate the aesthetic enhancement the 7 and 9 Series monitors add to a room, with razor-thin screens and unique designs. Most striking, the metallic-silver finished 9 Series features a slim, asymmetrical design that offers a clean, modern look. All circuitry is housed within the display’s base, resulting in a uniformly ultra-slim panel. The 7 Series display sports Samsung’s signature Touch of Color design, which embeds colored accents in the bezel for a stylish, unique look.<br /><br />Adding appeal to eco-conscious users, Samsung’s 7 and 9 Series reduce energy consumption by as much as 40 percent over traditional displays, thanks to the LED-backlit technology. In addition, the 9 Series’ high-gloss front, sleek back and all-aluminum base are comprised of recyclable material and like all of Samsung’s LED displays, is free of mercury and halogens, making it easier to recycle.<br />Users looking to consolidate their TV and PC monitors or utilize the 7 and 9 Series displays as secondary televisions will appreciate the HDTV/Monitor (MFM) versions, which feature an HDTV tuner for live television in addition to PC and AV playback. The HDTV/Monitor 7 and 9 Series displays integrate a convenient picture-in-picture function, allowing for simultaneous activities like viewing live sporting games while managing player stats online.<br /><br />The SP-A8000’s conveniently blends in with any room décor and its glossy black, dolphin-like shape helps it complement the entertainment area, whether incorporated into a modern interior or mounted from the ceiling above.<br /><br /><b>Versatile and Flexible</b><br />For enhanced viewing options and productivity, the 7 and 9 Series are equipped with signature Samsung visual display technologies. The Eco Light Sensor creates a comfortable viewing environment by automatically adjusting the brightness of the screen based on ambient light and Eco Motion Sensor contributes to ease of use and lower energy consumption by automatically turning the display on or off when a user is within or has left the vicinity of the monitor. <br /><br />The 3D-enabled 7 and 9 Series displays will all be available in March 2011. Display models will retail for TBD. The SP-A8000 will be available beginning January 2011, and will retail for TBD.

<b>LAS VEGAS, NV, January 5, 2011</b> – Samsung Electronics America Inc., a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Corporation, today announced the <b>9 Series</b>, a durable, ultra premium, lightweight laptop computer at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The 13.3-inch 9 Series offers mobile professionals and power users a sophisticated laptop equally suited for work and entertainment. Thanks to a stunning design, Samsung’s hallmark SuperBright Plus display and Intel performance processing power, the notebook ushers in a new era in mobile computing. The 9 Series will be available on display at <b>Central Hall booth #12006, January 6-9, 2011</b>. <br /><br />“Weighing less than 3 lbs., Samsung has designed the 9 Series to stand out, completely reimagining the notion of the traditional laptop,” said<b> Scott Ledterman, director of mobile PC marketing at Samsung Enterprise Business Division</b>. “When designing a premium laptop like the 9 Series, Samsung wanted to offer an unforgettable experience without limitations. The 9 Series laptop successfully combines elegant styling, performance and ease of use in an ultra thin and lightweight package.”<br /><br /><b>Unparalleled Styling</b><br />The 9 Series is made from material known as Duralumin, typically found in advanced aircrafts and offers construction quality twice as durable as aluminum, all while keeping the laptop weight under 3 lbs. To develop the 9 Series with the use of this new material, Samsung created an exhaustive testing process to ensure that the notebook is not only extremely sturdy, but also constructed with the perfect look and feel for technology savvy users.<br /><br />The 9 Series’ naturally flowing design takes cues from the sleek styling and sophisticated beauty of a premium sports car. The silhouette evokes thoughts of speed and performance with an ultra-thin 0.64 inch profile. Additionally, the naturally flowing arch maximizes the laptop’s ergonomic appeal, making it easier to use and a natural fit for the human grip.<br /><br /><b>Ultra Vivid Display</b><br />The 13.3-inch 9 Series features a LED-backlit screen, offering users the highest quality visual experience expected from Samsung, thanks to SuperBright Plus display with 400- nit brightness. Digital images and multimedia are brought to life on the 9 Series, assisted by a 100,000:1 contrast ratio and true-to-life color reproduction (16 million colors), enriching the computing experience for end users. <br />Additionally, the wide 160-degree viewing angle allows users to appreciate breathtaking screen images from a variety of vantages points, making the 9 Series easy to use whether in a user’s lap, on a desk or shared in a communal space. The laptop’s ambient light sensor adjusts the display brightness based on surrounding lighting conditions and reduces user eye strain. This innovative feature is complemented by an automatically adjusting backlit keyboard that adapts to darker light conditions with greater illumination.<br /><br /><b>Innovation Inside</b><br />The 9 Series integrates the second generation Intel® CoreTM i5 processor, affording users the latest in performance computer technology. Intel HD graphics, combined with the new processor, deliver crystal-clear visuals, vibrant colors and smooth high-definition (HD) video and audio playback. <br />Ensuring users are ready anytime anywhere, the 9 Series makes use of Samsung’s new power-efficient lithium polymer batteries, and achieves up to 6.5 hours of battery life on average. Lithium polymer batteries extend the life of the product with double the lifespan for up to three years or 1,000 charging cycles. Additionally, various charging settings, like a “Battery Life Extender Mode” and “Express Charging Mode” empower users with options to get the most from their experience.<br /><br /><b>Signature Samsung Technology</b><br />Samsung’s Support Center ensures all content stays safe and can help troubleshoot any particular problem. Accessible with a keyboard shortcut, the Support Center helps users manage their system settings or arrange for a tech-support web chat. Samsung’s Back-up & Recovery Solution also allows users to create and restore back-ups of system data on the device, or on a network or removable storage device.<br /><br />Lastly, focusing on convenience and connectivity, the new 9 Series boasts USB 3.0, Bluetooth 3.0, built-in WiMax and utilizes the latest in Wi-Fi and USB Sleep & Charge technologies.<br /><br />The Samsung 9 Series is scheduled to be available in February 2011, starting at $1,599.

<b>LAS VEGAS, NV, January 5, 2011</b> – Samsung Electronics America Inc., a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Corporation, today introduced from the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas the Central Station. The Samsung Central Station seamlessly connects all elements of the IT workspace, including notebook PC, display, peripherals, network, and AV, providing users with a simple and convenient way to increase productivity. Available in 23- and 27-inch wired and wireless configurations, the Central Station will be available on display at Central Hall booth #12006, January 6-9, 2011.<br /><br />“The Samsung Central Station answers a real need for consumers and business professionals looking to simplify their IT environment so they can move easily from a mobile to desktop setting” said<b> Young Bae, director of display marketing at Samsung Enterprise Business Division</b>. “It enables users to effortlessly connect or disconnect their notebook PC to a wide range of peripheral devices without the inconvenience of having to constantly plug and unplug every time they do so.”<br /> <br /><b>Engineered for the Demanding PC User</b><br />Designed with both the professional and the consumer in mind, Central Station is ideal for corporate offices, home offices and personal users. Power users, such as mobile professionals or connected families, will benefit from the Central Station’s auto wireless detection that finds a laptop equipped with the included wireless USB dongle once it is moved within a 1 meter radius. No cords need to be touched; no settings need to be changed. <br /><br />The Central Station also functions as a second display alongside a connected laptop, freeing users from the constraints of a single, smaller screen. This offers the convenience and portability of a laptop with the bigger workspace of a traditional desktop. In addition, the Central Station’s auto configuration function lets users quickly and easily set up the screen with optimal resolution and screen settings. Additionally, the USB ports can charge mobile devices for added convenience and utility.<br /><br />Featuring two USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 connections for connecting peripherals, the Central Station boasts fast, versatile data transfer and device communication. Central Station also includes an HDMI input, enabling users to connect Blu-ray players, set top boxes, or gaming devices to realize the full potential of Central Station’s 1080p LED backlit display. In addition, users also have the ability to hook up external speakers to better enjoy sound from their connected Blu-ray player or laptop.<br />Central Station is designed to reduce companies’ long-term equipment costs. By eliminating the need to purchase device-specific docking stations, a single Central Station will last through multiple generations of PCs.<br /><br /><b>Simple, Sophisticated Styling</b><br />All four Central Station consumer models sport an elegant dual hinge base, making them height adjustable and simplifying the silhouette into a minimalist desktop display. Two additional professional models both feature a more traditional, fully height-adjustable stand in place of the dual-hinge, perfect for corporate office use.<br /><br />Designed with sleek ergonomics and an enjoyable viewing experience in mind, the Central Station features Samsung’s Magic technologies and a 1080p LED-backlit display that delivers crisp, detailed images and bold color. <br /><br />Championing the signature styling of Samsung display products, the Central Station is available with either a crystal or metallic finish and features Touch of Color construction, which injects a hint of color naturally blended into the bezel.<br /> <br />The Central Station will be available in March 2011.

<b>January 5, 2011, LAS VEGAS, NV</b> – Samsung Electronics America Inc., a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Corporation, today announced the Samsung MobilePrint app, its first application for printing from Android and iOS mobile devices to Samsung wireless printers, at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The MobilePrint app allows users to print emails, web pages, maps, photos, and Microsoft Office and PDF files faster when traveling for business, working remotely, or visiting with friends and family. The solution will be on display at CES in Central Hall booth #12006, January 6-9, 2011.<br /><br />“Over the past year Samsung has built its leadership in the printer space with the introduction of innovative features like the one-touch print button and AnyWeb Print software for easier web page prints,” said<b> Ken Colby, director of printer marketing at Samsung Electronics Enterprise Business Division</b>. “We are kicking off 2011 by expanding the depth of our printer solutions with the Samsung MobilePrint app which offers a convenient solution for printing from a mobile device, a very real need for today’s smartphone-centric lifestyle.” <br /><br /><b>HASSLE-FREE, SEAMLESS CONNECTIVITY</b><br />The Samsung MobilePrint app is available for Android smartphones, Android tablets and iOS based devices and can be downloaded from the relevant application store or marketplace.

Samsung Mobile Print/Scan app users can then print directly from their devices with the click of a button, eliminating the hassle of driver installations and network configurations. <br /><br /><b>SIMPLE EDITING AND SCANNING</b><br />Samsung’s Mobile/Print Scan app also allows users to quickly review and edit documents that have been scanned into a local Samsung printer.

<![CDATA[
<b>LAS VEGAS – McCarran International Airport and Samsung Electronics America</b> showcased a 100-screen video wall before media and advertisers today at the airport’s D Concourse Rotunda, tipping the hat to delegates of the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show to be held in Las Vegas Jan. 6-9. The screen’s visual catch comes from the ultra-thin bezel around each monitor that gives the appearance that the tiled formation is one solid piece. <br /><br />The giant display measures 33 feet by 19 feet and is expected to be the largest-known video wall in a U.S. airport. Samsung and McCarran officials are pursuing this lofty claim with an application to the Guinness Book of World Records. Word from the authority on record-breaking achievement is expected within 60 to 90 days.<br /><br />“McCarran is one of the most technologically driven airports in the aviation industry,” said <b>Director of Aviation Randall H. Walker</b>. “We’re at it again with this landmark digital video wall. Its eye-catching stature allows the airport and advertisers to speak to travelers from all corners of the world, and also presents a unique opportunity to increase revenue."<br /><br />Offering up to four-times the standard high-definition quality, the panoramic display is expected to be an immediate hot spot for advertisers in high-end fashion, jewelry, entertainment, dining, auto and special events. Once the airport’s new Terminal 3 opens in 2012, the video wall is expected to garner even more attention from the ad community due to its location directly above the Terminal 3 tram station. <br /><br />This display is only one element of the new comprehensive digital video network at McCarran. Four smaller displays are located at the airport’s A, B and C concourses using three to 10 screens each. <br /><br />Alliance Airport Advertising, which manages McCarran’s indoor advertising contracts, is largely responsible for solidifying the McCarran-Samsung partnership. Its efforts included drafting plans for the engineering and installation of the final digital video network. Alliance estimates that the video walls will produce an additional $500,000 to $1 million in gross advertising revenue for the airport each year.<br /><br />"This project has taken hundreds of hours of research and collaboration among Samsung, McCarran, Alliance and the multiple contractors who designed, built, installed and operate this system," said Shauna Forsythe, chief executive officer of Alliance. “The quality and clarity of our new digital advertising network will surpass anything in the industry and will provide advertisers a new and engaging way to reach the upscale traveler.”<br /><br />“Samsung is a world leader in display technology and we saw this as a great opportunity to display our product in a world-class airport that attracts visitors from around the world,” said <b>Doug Albregts, vice president of sales and marketing at Samsung Electronics America</b>. “We are proud to partner with McCarran International Airport to showcase this state-of-the-art digital video display network.” <br /><br /><b>About Alliance Airport Advertising</b><br />Alliance Airport Advertising, a division of Alliance Corporation, is a Nevada-based company that specializes in creating compelling advertising, branding and sponsorship programs in airport environments. <br /><br /><b>About Samsung Electronics America Enterprise Business Division</b> <br />Based in Ridgefield Park, N.J., Samsung’s Enterprise Business Division (EBD) is a division of Samsung Electronics America (SEA), a U.S. subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Company, Ltd. (SEC), the world’s largest technology company based on revenue.

Samsung Hope for Children, a philanthropic initiative of the world’s technology leader, and partners Best Buy and Matthew McConaughey held the first annual j.k. livin Day at Hamilton High School in Los Angeles, CA yesterday. They worked together to help kick off the new school year with healthy living activities and provided upgraded technology and resources for deserving students at large inner-city public schools.<br /><br /><br />Earlier this year, Samsung and retail partner Best Buy teamed up with Matthew McConaughey to support the j.k. livin foundation, a non-profit organization the actor started in 2009 to serve youth in communities across the U.S. where students might not otherwise have the opportunity to learn about the body and mind connection. By partnering with Communities in Schools (CIS), the nation’s largest non-profit dropout prevention organization, the j.k. livin foundation provides free fitness and wellness after-school programs that offer teens a safe place to learn and improve responsibility, self-esteem, accountability and commitment. Through the CIS program, *98% of all tracked students stayed in school. To help fund these critical after-school programs, Samsung yesterday announced a $300,000 donation to the j.k. livin foundation.<br /><br />As part of their commitment to help students of all backgrounds with the technological resources to succeed, Best Buy and Samsung gave Hamilton High School, along with neighboring Inglewood and Venice Beach high schools a complete tech makeover including cutting-edge TVs, laptops, cameras, electronic whiteboards and other tools to help teach the next generation. For the past 9 years, Samsung and Best Buy have collaborated on several initiatives that help students and communities across the U.S. <br /><br />“Through Samsung Hope for Children, we have the opportunity to continue our commitment to making a noticeable difference in our communities in the areas of Health and Education,” said <b>David Steel, EVP of Strategy and Corporate Communications, Samsung Electronics America</b>. “By working with Best Buy and Matthew McConaughey, we are able to raise national awareness and funds for the j.k. livin foundation, a wonderful organization that helps teens lead active lives and make positive life choices empowering them to stay in school and giving them hope for a better tomorrow.”=<br /><br />“We’re proud to partner once again with Samsung Hope for Children. Samsung’s community outreach aligns perfectly with Best Buy’s @15 program which focuses on connecting and empowering teens,” said <b>Susan Bass Roberts, director of community relations, Best Buy</b>. “Through the j.k. livin foundation we are able to give young adults access to the tools and resources needed to succeed in today’s world and help foster the next generation of leadership and innovation.”<br /><br />With more than 100 Hamilton High School students in attendance at the j.k. livin day kickoff, Matthew McConaughey and j.k. livin foundation co-founder Camila Alves spoke to the teens enrolled in the voluntary after-school program about how they can improve their physical and mental health through exercise, teamwork, gratitude and make positive life choices that will help them stay in school and get ahead in life. Along with marathon champion Dean Karnazes, McConaughey led the students on a one-mile fun run and exercised with the teens in the school’s new fitness facility. <br /><br />“I started the j.k. livin foundation to help teens gain confidence, self reliance, and a better attitude through physical and mental wellness after-school programs,” said Matthew McConaughey. “With the help of great partners like Samsung and Best Buy, we’re working to give all kids the opportunity for a healthy lifestyle and I’m excited to continue working with them.”<br /><br />During the month of October, Samsung and Best Buy partnered to promote awareness for the j.k. livin foundation in stores nationwide.

<b>RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J., September 2, 2010</b> – Samsung Electronics America Inc., a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Corporation, today announced a series of new mobile PC products that combine Samsung’s signature style and premium performance for use at home, in the office, or on-the-go. The new <b>QX410, SF510, RF510 and RF710 laptops</b> and the NF series netbooks showcase Samsung’s continued dedication to innovation in mobile computing, and set a new standard for premium and functional design at any price point.<br /><br />“Samsung continues to evolve our mobile PC line-up creating a sleeker, more stylish and technologically superior product perfect for professionals, students, or multimedia-focused consumers,” said<b> Todd Bouman, director of product marketing at Samsung Enterprise Business Division</b>. “More importantly, the technological innovations within the QX, SF, RF and NF series of mobile PCs underscore Samsung’s position as a leader in mobile computing, offering consumers the performance they’ve come to expect in an aesthetically pleasing package.”<br /><br /><b>QX410: Superior Design, Unbeatable Performance</b><br />At just under one inch in thickness, Samsung’s new QX410 laptop combines a light-weight ultra-chic aluminum design and unparalleled battery performance to create an elegantly streamlined and efficient computing machine. <br /><br />Centered on Samsung’s hallmark edge-to-edge 14-inch HD SuperBright™ LED display, the QX410 integrates an all-new buttonless, easily configurable multi-function gesture pad, introducing users to a host of multi-finger interface commands while increasing accuracy and speed.<br /><br />Additionally, the QX410 is powered by a state-of-the-art Intel® CoreTM i5 processor. Further complementing the QX410’s performance is a hybrid graphics system, optimized on-the-go based on users’ needs. NVIDIA® OptimusTM automatically switches between the onboard Intel graphics and NVIDIA discrete graphics to efficiently manage battery life for basic applications, also delivering high-quality performance for intensive activities like gaming and multimedia on-demand.<br /><br />The QX410 makes use of Samsung’s new lithium polymer batteries, which achieve up to 7 hours of battery life on average. Lithium polymer batteries extend the life of the product with double the lifespan for up to 3 years or 1,000 charging cycles.<br /><br /><b>RF510 and RF710: Premium Performance Powerhouses</b><br />The RF510 and RF710 laptops emphasize extreme performance, while maintaining a sleek and refined style. They are accentuated by a distinctive black radial pattern on the display enclosure and a two-tone interior design. <br /><br />Powered by either an Intel® CoreTM i5 or i7 processor with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, the RF510 and RF710 take aim at gamers, multimedia aficionados and design buffs offering extreme computing power. Further complementing the processor are powerful NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics with 1 GB of dedicated memory delivering up to 30 times better performance over integrated graphics bringing hyper-realistic gaming to life or allowing for easy photos and videos editing. With these applications in mind, the RF710 notebook features two hard drive bays making the laptop capable of carrying over 1TB of storage allowing users to house their entire media library on their laptop. The RF series also introduces USB 3.0 to Samsung’s laptop line-up.<br /><br />SuperBright™ LED displays enhance the experience with HD+ (1600x900) resolution in the RF710 and HD (1366 x 768) resolution in the RF510, making them the ultimate choice for multimedia applications. Additionally, the RF-series laptops have full, island-style keyboards with number pads for optimal gaming and graphic applications. Standard in the RF710, a Blu-ray drive allows users to watch their favorite HD movies on Samsung’s incredible SuperBright LED backlit display. <br /><br /><b>SF510: Sleek, Simple and Sophisticated</b><br />Integrating a uniquely contoured clamshell design, the new SF510 is hip and sophisticated without sacrificing computing power or functionality. Gently cradling the ultra-sharp 15.6-inch SuperBright HD LED backlit display in an ivory exterior and chocolate interior design, the SF510 features fluid and ergonomic design. Moreover, it conveniently places control in the user’s hands, with the multi-touch gesture pad and easily identifiable quick-access buttons for volume and WiFi for simple, intuitive operation.<br /><br />The SF510 is powered by an Intel® CoreTM i3 processor and like the QX series, capitalizes on Samsung’s new lithium polymer batteries offering up to 7 hours of battery life for users. The SF510, with its ultra portable, stylish design and powerful performance, makes anytime, anywhere mobile computing a practical and affordable reality.<br /><br /><b>Enhanced Usability and Connectivity </b><br />The QX, SF, and RF laptops can communicate with other Samsung devices with Easy File Share, a simple to use peer-to-peer networking feature that allows users to quickly and securely exchange files, images, movies, and music wirelessly with any other laptop, netbook or wireless-enabled PC. Samsung’s AllShareTM technology features an intuitive interface that makes it easy to broadcast content over a user’s WiFi network to Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) enabled devices like HDTVs and even mobile phones. <br /><br />Samsung’s Support Center ensures all this content can stay safe, or can help troubleshoot any particular problem. Accessible with a keyboard shortcut, the Support Center helps users manage their system settings or can setup tech-support web chat. Samsung’s Back-up & Recovery Solution also allows users to create and restore back-ups of system data on the device, or on a network or removable storage device.<br /><br />Also enhancing usability is Samsung’s Fast Start feature, which easily allows the user to put their laptop or netbook in an advanced state of sleep, to reduce power consumption while the device is not in use. The user’s session can then be restored in as little as 3 seconds.<br /><br />To help improve the laptop audio experience, the new QX, RF and SF series laptops feature Samsung’s new True2SoundTM audio system, which delivers a more natural and realistic auditory experience with round speakers and a bigger acoustic chamber. Enhanced bass, crystal clear dialog and better definition control for maximum clarity is provided through SRS Premium Sound™ processing.<br /><br />Lastly, focusing on convenience and connectivity, the new laptops boast built-in WiMax in the SF and QX series, and utilize the latest in Wi-Fi and USB Sleep & Charge technologies. <br /><br /><b>NF Series: Ultra Light, Ultra Portable, Ultra Capable</b><br />Taking a style cue from the SF-series laptops, the NF Series netbooks provide users with an ultra-portable solution to mobile computing.

The Captivate is also outfitted with 3D sound capabilities, giving the user surround-sound stereo quality, when listening on hard-wired headphones.<br /><br />Features for All Users<br /><br />The Captivate keeps users connected with Samsung’s Social Hub, which is built around Messaging and Contacts, both of which initiate the sending and receiving of information, whether it is e-mail, instant messaging, social network updates or SMS messages. Additionally, calendar information from portal calendars, such as Google Calendar™, and social networking services are displayed together in one calendar with two-way synchronization. The familiar text messaging experience is enhanced with group messaging and “reply all” functionality for up to 10 contacts, a threaded conversations format, a consolidated inbox, and enhanced multi-media display.<br /><br />In addition, AT&T customers who choose Captivate can take advantage of AT&T Address Book. A Web-based service, AT&T Address Book syncs contacts to an online address book so customers can access and manage their mobile contacts from their handset – or their PC. Also available to users at no additional charge is access to AT&T’s entire national Wi-Fi network -- any Captivate with the Wi-Fi turned on will automatically connect when in range.<br /><br />Not just for social networking and messaging, the Captivate truly brings your home and office computer to the palm of your hand with support for push email and integrated calendar services, including Google™ and Yahoo for consumers and small businesses and ActiveSync for enterprise users. Messaging is simple and easy with the Captivate’s virtual QWERTY keyboard with Swype technology, which allows users to input text faster and in a more intuitive way with one continuous finger motion across the screen keyboard.<br /><br />True Mobile Entertainment<br /><br />In addition, the Captivate features best-in-class entertainment features, including future access to Samsung Media Hub, a full library of video and literary content powered by some of the biggest names in entertainment.

While in use, it gives the option to visit each social networking screen separately or visit an aggregated screen that includes messages from all communities in one simple-to-access place.<br /> <br />“We’re proud to continue the popular Gravity series of devices with sleeker designs and a fully customizable touch screen on the Gravity T, as well as introduce the Smiley with T-Mobile,” said Omar Khan, chief strategy officer for Samsung Mobile. “These three phones each offer top-notch messaging features and multimedia favorites together in one device.”<br /> <br />Following the success of the Samsung Gravity® and Gravity® 2, Samsung Mobile and T-Mobile are continuing the series with the availability of the Samsung Gravity® 3 and Samsung Gravity® T. The next generation of Gravity devices offers two designs that come fully equipped with slide-out QWERTY keyboards and a complete messaging suite, including Exchange and personal e-mail capability, calendar and contacts. The Gravity 3 brings an external T9® keyboard and a slide-out, full QWERTY keyboard, while the Gravity T features a customizable 2.8-inch touch screen that provides a premium touch and messaging experience at an affordable price. Both Gravity devices include a 2-megapixel camera and camcorder, built-in music player, HTML browser and support for up to 16 GB of expandable memory.<br /> <br />The Samsung :)™ features a compact, rounded-edge design, a slide-up vertical QWERTY keyboard and a dedicated shortcut for quick access to messaging applications, including text, picture, video and instant messaging, as well as Exchange and personal e-mail capability.

<title>Product News : Samsung Introduces Hassle-Free Printer with Wireless One-Touch Set-Up for Easy Installation and Premium Performance</title>
<link>http://www.samsung.com/us/news/newsRead.do?news_group=productnews=consumerproduct=printermfm=19710</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[
RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J., June 23, 2010 – Samsung Electronics America Inc., a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics Corporation, recently unveiled its newest multifunction wireless printer geared toward small business, home office and personal at-home users. The Samsung SCX-4623FW has the high level performance found in larger multifunction printers, but the size, price and easy installation features to accommodate smaller user groups.<br /><br /><br />“Customers are looking for an easy-to-use, worry-free printer with great features and value---simply more. This is what we aim to achieve in the products we provide,” said Ken Colby, director of printer marketing at Samsung Electronics Information Technology Division.“We are continuously developing features and functions that save customers time; we’ve introduced one-touch Wi-Fi Protected Set-Up feature for hassle-free printer installation and AnyWeb Print software to select only what you want to print.”<br /><br /> <br /><br />SIMPLY MORE<br /><br />The SCX-4623FW features numerous functions to make printing convenient for any use. With the new one-touch WPS button, users can connect wirelessly with just one touch of a button. After simply selecting the WPS button on the router and then on the printer, the SCX-4623FW will automatically connect to the wireless network.<br /><br /> <br /><br />The SCX-4623FW continues to be easy to use with Samsung’s AnyWeb Print software, which allows users to print just the information they need, rather than printing several Web pages. Using this software, users can select, drag and drop contents of interest from various Web pages onto a blank page which can then be saved or printed.<br /><br /> <br /><br />The printer’s blue navigational compass guides users through several functions and features for your printing, scanning, faxing and copying needs.

In the area of customers’ perceptions of value, Sprint now leads both AT&T and Verizon. The company also achieved an impressive improvement in the area of customer loyalty. With these gains, the company’s overall ACSI score jumped 14 points over the last two years. In the last six years of the ACSI survey, no other company has improved its satisfaction score by that many points in a two-year period.<br /><br />The improvements in the ACSI survey come as Sprint has seen nine consecutive quarters of improved customer satisfaction and first call resolution. The company’s improvements have also been recognized by other independent third-parties, including Sprint winning the #1 spot for both overall satisfaction for wireless voice service providers and wireless data service providers in a Yankee Group and Mobile Enterprise magazine survey of large business decision makers. Sprint also ranked high in small and medium business customer satisfaction.

Customers have the choice of sitting down with a Sprint retail associate at the time of purchase or they can schedule an appointment for a later time at www.sprint.com/storelocator.<br /> <br />More Satisfied Than Ever <br />Offering affordable plans to such feature-rich smartphones like Samsung Intercept is one of many reasons Sprint has excelled in customer satisfaction. Sprint is the most improved company in customer satisfaction, across all industries, over the last two years, according to results from the 2010 American Customer Satisfaction Index.<br /> <br />Sprint’s improvement was driven in part by substantial gains in two aspects of the survey. In the area of customers’ perceptions of value, Sprint now leads both AT&T and Verizon. The company also achieved an impressive improvement in the area of customer loyalty. With these gains, the company’s overall ACSI score jumped 14 points during the last two years. In the last six years of the ACSI survey, no other company has improved its satisfaction score by that many points in a two-year period.<br /> <br />The improvements in the ACSI survey come as Sprint has seen nine consecutive quarters of improved customer satisfaction and first call resolution. The company’s improvements have also been recognized by other independent third-parties, including Sprint winning the #1 spot for both overall satisfaction for wireless voice service providers and wireless data service providers in a Yankee Group and Mobile Enterprise magazine survey of large business decision makers. Sprint also ranked high in small and medium business customer satisfaction. Also noteworthy was Sprint’s two-year Reputation Pulse™ score increase in Reputation Institute’s 2010 U.S. Most Reputable Companies Study (published annually in Forbes). Sprint’s 18.22 percent gain puts its improvement in the top 10 percent of the 150 largest U.S. companies, ahead of both AT&T and Verizon.<br /> <br />Sprint is also the first national wireless carrier to test, launch and market 4G technology, offering wireless 4G service today for select devices in 36 markets. In 2010, Sprint expects to launch 4G service in multiple markets, including Boston, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Los Angeles,Miami, Minneapolis, New York, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
