The largest Super AMOLED display in business is a great feat but the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S won�t stop there. The slim-fit case has room for a 1GHz processor and a 5 megapixel camera with HD video recording, while the Android 2.1 (Eclair) OS is the latest� uhh, wait a minute, there�s a weather update. We�re getting reports of a Froyo drizzle on Samsung�s party.

Anyway, Eclair it is � with the Samsung�s home-brewed TouchWiz UI on top, which we�ve already found to notably improve the usability of the interface. Oh, and you are also having a choice between 8 and 16 GB of internal storage, which should be more than enough to store those DivX and XviD videos the Galaxy S can play right out of the box.
