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! :-)
