Samsung Galaxy S WiFi Direct Certified

A few weeks ago I wrote about WiFi Direct, which is the new certification for products that use WiFi to directly communicate with other products that support WiFi Direct. The Samsung Galaxy S, which is currently one of the most popular Android phones and is sold by multiple mobile providers, is WiFi Direct certified. As far as I know, this is the first product that has actually been given the WiFi Direct certification. The announcement in October listed specific chipsets that could be used in products to be WiFi Direct certified.

You can think of WiFi Direct as an alternative to Bluetooth, except that it is faster and easier to configure.
