CES 2009: Samsung Luxia LED TV range – 1.6" thick including wall mount
The product that Samsung seems most proud of at CES 2009 is their low power, super thin Luxia range of LED TVs. The 8000, 7000, and, yes, 6000 thousand models sit between 44″ and 55″ on the diagonal and use 40% less power than normal flat screen TVs because of the use of low power LEDs…
CES 2009: Samsung press conference 22.00 GMT
Next up at CES 2009 is the turn of tech monster Samsung. It’s hard to tell what the world’s largest gadget makers will come up with this year. The trouble is they make just about everything, so who knows upon which band wagon it is they wish to jump. Quite possibly they’ll surprise us all and invent something on their own. I’ll let you know as soon as I do from 22.00 GMT…

CES 2009: Liveblogging the SHARP conference

They may have underwhelmed, in name only, with the new Regza range but it’s good to see that Toshiba has a concept to show us at CES 2009. Toshiba Cell TV is the stuff of which the future is made and that future is a screen resolution twice as good as anything…
CES 2009: LG brings YouTube to Bluray

CES 2009: LG showing off prototype LG-GD910 watch-phone hybrid device
When I was a wee nipper, I used to talk into my watch and imagine that my friends could hear me. They invariably couldn’t, which is probably just as well, but perhaps someone heard me, and now they work for LG. The LG-GD910 is basically a phone that you wear on your wrist.
As you can imagine, there’s not much in the way of features – “you can wear it on your wrist” being top of the pile. Additionally, though, it’s waterproof, weighs 85 grams, and has voice calling, text to speech, and stereo Bluetooth, which officially makes it better than the iPhone, in one category at least. It’ll have three real buttons, a touchscreen, and weigh 85g. Due for release “this year”.

CES 2009: New SD card standard paves the way for 2TB capacities
The SD association has announced a new top-end to the capacities of its eponymous flash memory cards. The new spec is called “SDXC” – short for “eXtended Capacity”, and it’ll hold up to 2TB of data, with transfer speeds rocketing up to 104MB/s. In contrast, the previous maximums were 32GB and 10MB/s.
This is just a specification – there’s no products yet – and support for the format will have to make its way into devices before it’ll be much use selling the cards. However, I think it’s fairly safe to say that we’ll be seeing these on shelves in a year or so.

CES 2009: LG introduce Wireless HDMI and 3D chips
LG didn’t have the most dynamic of press conferences, but one thing that did come out was the death of wires (expect some kind of wire-based massacre this CES 2009). They’re integrating Wireless HDMI into their upcoming 2009 LCD product ranges, as well as their projectors.
