Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000) to be the first Wi-Fi Direct certified smartphone

The Samsung Galaxy S smartphone (GT-I9000) is now listed on the Wi-Fi Alliance's Wi-Fi Direct certification. Wi-Fi CERTIFIED Wi-Fi Direct is a certification mark for devices supporting a game-changing new technology enabling Wi-Fi devices to connect directly, making it simple and convenient to do things like print, share, synch and display.

Products bearing the Wi-Fi Direct certification mark can connect to one another without joining a traditional home, office or hotspot network. Of course, an actual firmware update is expected to bring this functionality to life. As a reminder, the Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000) features include Android 2.1, a 4-inch WVGA Super AMOLED touchscreen, 5MP camera with video conferencing camera, 1GHz CPU, and so on.
