Samsung at CES
Looks like Samsung will be unveiling two new handsets for the US market at CES next week – on the 8th at 10:30am, to be exact. Both devices will feature stereo Bluetooth, a microSD memory card slot, a 2.0 megapixel camera, and will be slim devices (as is a regular occurrence with Samsung), though one [...]
