When you consider the amount of ways and barriers that you have to go through to actually gain a connection to the internet, the modem drivers problem should be one of the more basic and one of the easiest problems that you should be able to rectify.

Oh, look, it’s another place to buy bite-sized mobile apps, this one courtesy of Samsung. The company isn’t exactly new to the whole application store thing, launching a little outlet for Nokia users earlier this year, but piggy-backing on someone else’s platform and boldly blazing a trail of iFart knockoffs on your own hardware are two very different things. The imaginatively named Samsung Application Store launches on September 14 for British, French, and Italian Omnia and I8910 HD handsets, later coming to the Omnia II and OmniaLITE as well as users in various other nations. Samsung is pledging “over 300″ apps to start, while partners like Electronic Arts, Capcom, Gameloft, and TAITO have signed on for the fun. Omnia BUST-A-MOVE, anyone?

Alas, our dream of rocking parties with the projector-packing s1000pj will have to wait an extra month. Turns out that demand for the shooter was so high that even Nikon, whose sole purpose in life is making imaging equipment, couldn’t satiate it in time. The new dates for your calendar are October 23 for the 12.1 megapixel, 5x optical zoom S1000pj, and September 19 for its S70 and S570 brethren. The S70 switches out the projector for a 3.5-inch OLED multitouch screen, and should prove quite the attractive proposition in its own right, but for now all we can do is look admiringly from afar. Sigh.
