I am loving Samsung’s decision to slap Bluetooth into absolutely everything this year. The HT-X710 is another compact 2.1 virtual surround system, designed to match Samsung’s latest sexy looking HDTVs with A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth included.

CES 2008: SlingCatcher makes a late arrival, brings new features
Last year we were promised that Sling Media would be touting its SlingCatcher accessory by Xmas. That time came and went and there was nothing.

And why not – according to Sharps figures and some really rather bland graphs the LCD market is skyrocketing. Sharp expects to have shipped over 74m units by the end of 2007 and 96m by the end of next year, which is probably a lot more than I can count on all my fingers and toes.
Full HD horror film coming online: "Shadow: Dead Riot" streams at 1080p on the Internet
MyTVPal.com, the high definition streaming web service, and MatrixStream, a video on demand and IPTV solutions company, have claimed the world’s first 1080p instant streaming movie.
“Shadow: Dead Riot” (2006) is a story about resurrected slain inmates turned flesh eating zombies that invade a women’s rehabilitation facility — but enough about the choice of film. What we’re really interested in is the technology and the capability, right?
