Samsung Teases Tap and Take Camera Launch

Samsung Tapandtake.JPGSamsung Electronics has launched a “Tap and Take” teaser Web site promoting its new camera, which will launch on August 13 in New York City, according to a spokesman for the company.

Interested users can also follow the campaign on the Facebook page or Twitter account. The campaign “is designed to engage the consumer,” according to the Samsung spokesman.

Given the numerous videos and images all displaying a people gazing into the camera and tapping the screen, we’d bet on this new camera using at least a rear- (or would that be the front?)-mounted LCD screen oriented in the same direction as the camera sensor. Of course, the “tap the screen” metaphor for taking a picture isn’t new, as both the iPhone and the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G use the same method for taking pictures, among others.

I wonder if it will be called the Narcissus? I’d love to see that.
