SAMSUNG’S NEW OFFER: Samsung Electronics will offer the ATIV Odyssey, its first Windows Phone 8 model, in the U.S. in the coming weeks through Verizon Wireless. Sprint Nextel also plans to introduce a Sam- sung Windows Phone 8 handset by summer, as well as one from HTC.

Hopefully this will be a better Odyssey. Maybe a wink toward edigital. Who knows?
