The Samsung 10th Anniversary Dinner & Party

Posted on 13 December 2006 by


Tonight sure felt like a reunion of sorts! Joel from Geek.com and I met at the Borders Bookstore Cafe in the Time Warner Building to have a quick cafe latte and try out the Zune‘s WiFi sharing capabilities while we had a chance. More on that in the upcoming Zune review. ;-)

Once we got upstairs to the Samsung event, we quickly ran into Vincent from SlashGear, Michael Oryl from Mobileburn.com, and Rich Brome from Phone Scoop.

The evening started with a casual reception in the main hall, and then we came into the Samsung gallery which had been transformed into an elegant dining hall.

After a few welcome speeches, we enjoyed an anniversary dinner and great conversation.

Tomorrow is the Summit meeting; I am looking forward to some of the new devices Samsung is set to reveal…including a 5″ screen UMPC with a built-in keyboard. We were told in passing that it is about half the size of the Q1 – I’ve got to get photos of that!

On our way out, we were given a gift bag with a swank black leather business card holder inside; I’ve already loaded mine. Ha!

Happy 10th Anniversary Samsung – Here’s to many more! :-)

I started Gear Diary on September 30, 2006, and my goal was that this not be an easily labeled site. We all have gear that we use daily – some of it electronic and some of it organic. I think it is fascinating to explore the equipment that makes our lives easier, more entertaining, more productive, and more manageable. My hope is that Gear Diary visitors will find this site to be a comfortable and friendly place to discuss interesting topics – and not only those that are tech related, as well as a location to discover various types of gear – whatever that term may end up implying – that they never knew existed. My specialty is in-depth reviews written in a layman’s terms, because everyone can understand technology, sometimes it just takes a little translating. +Judie Stanford
