However, before the laptop with the transparent AMOLED display comes out, a media player, the IceTouch MP3 player, which plays radio, video, and displays photos, will be released. Not a lot is known about the media player, aside from the fact that you’ll be able to see through the small two-inch display and it should sell for about $300.

The laptop is said to feature a 14-inch screen with the transparent AMOLED technology. Red Sullivan, the Vice President of Samsung’s American audio and digital imaging marketing said he imagines all Samsung’s audio-visual products will sooner feature the technology. “We want to be the first in this market.”

There’s no word on why Samsung is so fascinated by this AMOLED technology. Sure, it looks cool, but as far as the media player is concerned, I can see it being slightly useful when I’m out for a walk or jog and am in danger of tripping over something when engrossed in selecting a song or playlist, but the laptop? Unless I find myself working while trying to watch the Super Bowl again next year, it just seems like it’d be distracting and it wouldn’t leave a lot of room for privacy.

The Admire sports some pretty nice specs but not some good enough for it’s original price tag. Inside this thing you will find a 1.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with Centrino technology, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, 2GB 800MHz DDR3 dual channel memory and 128GB solid state drive. In addition to that there is a super-thin 13.4-inch 16:9 (high definition; 720p) WLED display, full QWERTY keyboard with backlighting, integrated 1.3 megapixel camera with integrated digital microphone, 1 display port, 3 USB 2.0 ports, audio out, Gigabit LOM, Bluetooth 2.1 802.11n (3×3) with an integrated RJ-45 port and a battery flaunting up to 5+ hours of life.

All of that packed under a price tag of $999 is enough to get you drooling all over your desk right about now. But if those specs are a little low key for your superior computer tastes, then you might want to check out the Dell Adamo Desire, which has also received a price cut from Dell.

The Desire sports a 2.1GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with Centrino technology, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, 4GB 800MHz dual-channel memory, 256GB solid state drive and mobile broadband. Add that to the 13.4-inch 16:9 (high definition; 720p) WLED display, full QWERTY keyboard with backlighting, integrated 1.3 megapixel camera with integrated digital microphone, 1 display port, 3 USB 2.0 ports, audio out, Gigabit LOM, Bluetooth 2.1 802.11n (3×3) and an integrated RJ-45 with a battery suspected of 5+ hours of life. The Desire is slightly more expensive than the $999 Admire coming in at $1,799 though that is still $500 less than the $2,299 price tag it had in October.

Whichever laptop you decide to get you are going to be satisfied. The specs are good and the device itself looks very nice. Add all that to the significant price cut and you have a recipe that is aimed at success. Both laptops are available now through Dell’s website
