With Apple doing all kinds of fancy things in San Francisco, it would have been easy to miss the fantastic gear that Samsung came out with at IFA in Berlin.

The Korean giants unveiled not only a pair of lovely notebooks, but also their long-awaited Galaxy Tablet and, just in case that wasn’t enough for the baying masses, a full HD Camcorder.

The notebooks are the SF and NF series and they carry the company’s new, slightly unusual design language.

The SF Series comes with a choice of Intel Core i3 or Core i5 processors, with three screen sizes – the 13.3” SF310, 14” SF410 and 15.6” SF 510 – and battery life of up to 7.5hrs with the standard 61Wh battery.

The Samsung NF310, NF210 and NF110 all use Intel’s dual-core N550 processor and Windows 7.  The NF310 gets a 1366 x 768 16:9 widescreen for HD videos, while the NF210 prioritises battery life with a 6-cell 8850mAh battery good for up to 14hrs runtime.  Finally, the NF110 is the budget option.

The Galaxy Tablet, meanwhile, will land in Europe in mid-September and  will carry a 3-megapixel autofocus camera on the back (with an LED flash and capable of 720p HD video), and a 1.3-megapixel webcam up front for video calls. A-GPS, a 3.5mm headphone jack, integrated speaker and microSD card slot round out the main specs.

The usual Android apps are loaded, together with Swype, Gmail, an HD video player capable of 1080p, ThinkFree for document editing and Google Maps Navigation. It weighs in at 380g and measures 190.1 x 120.45 x 11.98mm.

At the same time, Samsung announced the arrival of the Samsung HMX-T10, a full HD camcorder with a 2.7-inch LCD touchscreen, 20-degree slanted lens for easier shot framing, and a Back-Side Illuminated (BSI) sensor promising twice the sensitivity of a regular CMOS.
