The FINANCIAL -- Samsung Electronics America Inc., a market leader and award-winning innovator in consumer electronics, announced the pricing and U.S. retail availability of three SMART compact system cameras (CSC) with built-in Wi-Fi – the eye catching NX1000, the versatile NX210 and the top-of-the-line NX20.
With SMART features, the NX1000, NX210 and NX20 can connect to wireless networks without any additional cards or devices, making it seamless to share and store photos directly from the camera.
All three new Samsung NX cameras offer exceptional image quality and are designed for users with different photographic skill levels. With a premium metallic finish, the NX20 and NX210 compact system cameras are available now from authorized Samsung retailers for manufactured suggested retail prices of $1,099.99 and $899.99, respectively. The sleek and compact NX1000 will be available in June in white, black and pink at an MSRP of $699.99.
“With the expansion of the NX family, Samsung reinforces its commitment to connected creativity. Photography, at its core, is as much about sharing a special moment, as it is about capturing a stunning image and the new NX Series delivers both without compromise,” said Reid Sullivan, Senior Vice President of Digital Imaging, Samsung Electronics America. “Whether for professionals emailing photos on assignment, or a family sharing a truly unique memory, there is an NX Series camera ready to deliver.”
Channeling Samsung’s premium NX image quality, the NX1000, NX210 and NX20 cameras all feature a stunning design and a professional-grade 20.3 megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor. Ensuring the cameras benefit from Samsung’s ecosystem of imaging products, they are also compatible with Samsung’s unique i-Function 2.0 system. According to Samsung Electronics, this innovative system enables users to control camera settings using the lens only, without having to take focus off the subject. New i-Function features include a digital crop and zoom, which allows users to focus on the most important parts of an image and crop away distracting background elements, plus the ability to add custom functions.

Apple, Samsung walk away from the negotiating table - Ars Technica
Despite two days of court-ordered mediation between Samsung and Apple, the two smartphone giants were unable to reach any agreement that might have staved off their impending patent litigation. Though Samsung CEO Choi Gee-sung and Apple CEO Tim Cook were both present for the talks, no compromise could be made, according to a Samsung official who spoke to The Korea Times.
The mediation was ordered by Judge Judy Koh, who is overseeing two federal patent infringement suits between the two companies in the US. Cook had recently expressed a possible interest in settling the dispute between the two companies out of court "if we could get to some kind of arrangement where we'd be assured [they are inventing their own products] and get a fair settlement on the stuff that's occurred."
"I've always hated litigation and I continue to hate it," Cook said during Apple's most recent financial results announcement, but "we just want people to invent their own stuff."
With no settlement reached, the trial is set to begin July 30.
Samsung and Apple have been locked in a bitter legal battle since Apple sued Samsung over patent infringements and trade dress violations in April last year. The dispute spilled over into courts all over the world, including Germany, Australia, and Japan, with Apple and Samsung equally filing suits and countersuits involving a wide range of smartphone and tablet products.
Samsung's complaints largely center on patents considered essential to wireless 3G standards, which are typically encumbered by agreements to license such patents on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms. Using the patents in order to gain injunction against Apple has raised the ire of the European Commission, which is investigating Samsung's FRAND patent suits to determine if the actions run afoul of anti-competition laws.
While the legal struggles between the two companies continue, however, Samsung remains one of Apple's primary component suppliers for its mobile products, including the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
O2 blasts Ofcom for 'analytical' failings in row over 4G - Daily Telegraph
In an uncharacteristically forthright attack, O2 said the regulator had ignored its own claim that there should be two 4G providers in the market and drawn conclusions that are “irrational and fundamentally unfair”.
“It is unclear...why Ofcom has not bothered to review its own contemporaneous documents on the merger,” O2 added.
An Everything Everywhere spokesman said: “Being one of several potential companies able to launch 4G this year does not make us a 'monopoly’. This is exactly the type of rhetoric, that is designed solely to delay the launch of 4G in the UK.
Theoretically, both Vodafone and O2 could launch 4G at the moment but are unlikely to do so until after the 4G spectrum auction later this year.
