Yesterday I took a trip to the Samsung showroom a few blocks away from PC Magazine's headquarters in midtown Manhattan. The company likes to put on a show, hauling out the latest and greatest in its ever-increasing number of consumer electronics lines. I'll spare you the washers, driers, and refrigerators, but check out some of my favorites of the company's newest digital audio players, camcorders, home theaters, and HDTVs after the jump.

BS300: Designed as something of an accessory for Samsung's P2 Bluetooth digital audio player (or so it was positioned), the BS300 (above)is a portable Bluetooth speaker that's just slightly larger than the player itself. This A2DP-enabled speaker is less for people looking for great sound quality, more for those looking for something that they can take on the road with them--this thing can fill up a hotel room with sound, in a pinch.

HT-8XT10: Samsung showed of its snazzy new home-theater soundbar, the HT-X810. It features 300 watts of output, a standalone 5.8-GHz subwoofer, and an upscaling slot-loading DVD player. Samsung had a small theater set up, and the little HT-X810 did an admirable job.

SC-MX10: Samsung showed me this "YouTube camcorder" (above), which offers easy uploads of MPEG-4 videos. The camcorder ships with a 512MB Flash memory card and can support cards up to 32GB. According to the company, the new camera didn't sell especially well during the holidays but is beginning to pick up among consumers now-- in a big way.

Series 6 and 7 DLP HDTVs: Samsung showcased an impressive full wall of HDTVs. The company's Series 6 650 and Series 7 750 feature full HD 1080p resolution, in sizes between 50 and 72 inches. Series 6 has Cinema Smooth 120Hz Light Engine, while Series 7 has CinemaPure 120HZ Color Engine. Both are 3D ready. Two of the monitors were in 3D mode, with a few pairs of accompanying glasses.

YP-S2: Not really the first MP3 player that we've see with a rocky form factor (Creative Zen Stone, anyone?), nor is it the first gadget we've seen named the Pebble (Motorola, anyone else?). But if you're into electronics that can also serve as blunt objects, Samsung's new YP-S2 (above) is a pretty snazzy way to go. The player has a typically slick Samsung and lights up when in play. The standard Flash-player controls are located on the Pebble's flat bottom. The player has 1GB of memory; it's available in black, white, red, green, and purple, and plays back 13 hours of MP3s, WMAs, or OGGs on a single charge.

YP-S3: Samsung's latest attempt at a Nano killer, the S3 offers 4GB of storage, a 1.8-inch video-ready screen, an FM radio, and a battery with around 25 hours of playback, all in a 0.4-inch, 1.8 ounce package.

It looks very nice and samsung make a good attempt for developing their digital line-up.
Most of all, Bluetooth wireless Audio Speaker would go well with Mp3player in the market.
And also YP-S2(a small pebble mp3player)and S3 are having good features in it's functions.
I wish to see all in the market soon.

I have a Samsung SC-HMX20C full HD camcorder. SC-HMX20 is a great product. It is a much more advanced camcorder than SC-MX10.

S3 is so slim. I bet S3 would be a Nano killer. I like the product.
