Tech giant unveils the camera that thinks it's a phone ... and the phone that thinks it's a tablet
Samsung Galaxy Camera allows you to connect to the web and runs Android - allowing you to run apps, play games and upload images
Galaxy Note 2 is similar to company's flagship S3 phone - but with a giant 5.5inch 'mini-tablet' screen
Firm also reveals new flagship phone - and it's running Microsoft software instead of Google's.
Last week, Samsung was beaten in the courts by Apple, and told to pay $1billion to its arch-rival after jurors agreed the tech giant had copied the iPhone design.
But Samsung is now ready to fight back, unveiling a raft of new products yesterday that cannot be faced with Apple's criticism that Samsung is not innovating.
A new flagship phone was also unveiled - running Microsoft's Windows phone software in a bid to differentiate from previous handsets running Google's Android software.
The stand-out device was the Samsung Galaxy Camera, in many ways a traditional high-end point-and-shooter taking 16-mexapixel images through a 21x optical zoom lens.
But turn the WiFi-enabled camera around, and the user is presented with a 4.8" screen running Android - allowing you to install apps, play games, watch movies, instantly upload images to Facebook, or perhaps install the Instagram app to convert your images into old-timey snapshots.
