Samsung launches a handful of original Galaxy S accessories
Okay, we admit, we may be a bit slow on this one, but we just stumbled upon this nice set of Galaxy S accessories straight from Samsung. The line of premium accessories includes a desktop dock, a charger with a second battery, a vehicle dock, a video streaming box and various carrying cases.
The desktop dock is meant to be used with the Desk Home app. It will turn your smartphone into very convenient and capable media player and allow making hand-free calls.
The vehicle dock (with additional USB connector for charging) and the leather/silicon/neoprene cases don't need any explanation. They look excellent and bear the Galaxy S logo.

The backup battery charging system comes with an extra 1500 mAh battery and allows you to charge it and store it outside the phone.
The last accessory is Samsung WMG160 Wi-Fi HD streaming device. Thanks to it you will be able to stream movies, music and photos from your Galaxy S to any HDTV. The Samsung WMG160 connects to the HDTV by a cable connection, while the WMG160 stream content to it over the Wi-Fi network (DLNA). It's like a DLNA adapter for HDTV but with the option to playback multimedia files from a memory card as well.

By the way, that Galaxy S up there is actually Verizon USA Samsung Fascinate, another member of the Galaxy S family. It's CDMA-only, as far as we know.
All the docks and leather cases are priced at 40 US dollars, the battery charger is 50 US dollars, while the price of the HD streaming device is yet to be announced.
Samsung is also offering silicone cases (30 US dollars), neoprene sleeves (20 US dollars) and screen protectors. For the full accessories' list visit the official Samsung store.

The desktop dock looks kinda cool but all it really is is a charger. I don't see any reason why I can't just plug it in as usual and prop it up. This guy created his own dock, which in my opinion is much better than Samsung's desktop dock.
