Samsung launched robotic vacuum cleaner “Smart Tango Corner Clean” with upgraded dust removal capability for corners on the 2nd. Unlike the previous versions of robotic vacuum cleaners with fixed side brushes, Smart Tango Corner Clean has the world’s very first “pop out brush” to enhance the efficiency by giving the possibility to this new little Tango to access corners and other difficult areas!
As smart as they may be at mapping out their surroundings and cleaning almost every inch of your home’s floors, the design of most robot vacuums makes them useless at tackling corners. A failing that Samsung may have just eliminated with its new Smart Tango Corner Clean vacuum that the company will supposedly officially unveil at CES. More »

As LG continues its slew of CES pre-announcements, it’s revealed details about the new HDTVs it will be showing off in Las Vegas next week. Predictably, they include three lines of plasma models (fewer than previous years, but still kicking) in 42- to 60-inch sizes, and new LCD HDTVs in various levels of trim and sizes from 22-inches up to 60-inches. Most notably, this year all of its new LCDs are LED, as it’s kicked the old CCFL tech to the curb. LG has already detailed upcoming changes for its voice/gesture Magic Remote control and a couple of Google TV models, however other new features for 2013 include an “On Now” recommendation system that learns what you watch and offers relevant selections from live TV and video on-demand services. Expect new tie-ins to be announced with both streaming and local TV providers to help fill out the selection around the world.
Hardware-wise, new feature boxes checked this year include NFC, thanks to a new “Tag On” sticker smartphones and other devices can easily pair with. Getting content from mobile devices to the display will also be easier thanks to Miracast and WiDi support, and MHL ports will be readily available as well. LG’s FPR 3D tech isn’t going anywhere, and Smart TV features should be speedier than ever thanks to CPUs with a promised 120 percent speed boost, and 300 percent faster GPUs. As seen in the pics, the design has also been altered slightly with a new stand that both swivels and rolls, plus a reduced bezel size.
If you’re looking for the latest and greatest however, LG will be showing off the 84-inch Ultra HD 4K set it just started shipping and the 55-inch OLED display we’re waiting for. No word yet on shipping dates or price for any of the new models, but as we surmised from LG Display’s plans, we should see a couple of 55- and 65-inch Ultra HD TVs appear before the year is out. There’s a couple more pictures of the new HDTVs in the gallery plus a press release with all the details after the break. Beyond that, HD Guru has a model-by-model breakdown of the available information — we’ll check back with our in-person impressions in a few days.

If you’re planning on picking up a brand new TV but you’d rather not blow a hole in your wallet doing so, then you might be interested to learn that budget HDTV manufacturer, Westinghouse, has plans to unveil a series of UHD television sets at CES 2013. This includes a whopping 110” model, along with smaller models sized at 50”, 55” and 65” respectively. All models will feature a UHD resolution of 3840×2160, native refresh rate of 120Hz and are expected to go on sale in the first quarter of 2013, although the 110” model will be sold as a custom order. Unfortunately no photos of the devices are available right now, and there is no word on pricing, but assuming Westinghouse keeps to its budget offerings, hopefully these will be some UHD TVs that will be slightly more affordable than the competition. We will be on hand at CES 2013, so if Westinghouse’s offerings are of interest to you, check back with us then for the details.

We’re sure that both fans and critics of Apple are eagerly waiting to see what sort of iTV the company could launch, especially after Steve Jobs famously claimed in his biography to have cracked the TV market. While we wait and see if rumors of such a device actually plays out, it looks like the TV market could have another player and this time in the form of Intel, a move which we’re sure some of you guys would not have thought of. This is according to sources in the video distribution industry who shared Intel’s supposed plans with the folks at TechCrunch. (more…)

No much to say here, just enjoy the video and brace for the “CES” impact that will come to us next week!
With CES 2013 just days away, TechCrunch has posted a juicy rumor that chipmaker Intel will announce a major plunge into TV, choosing to go it alone after several failed partnerships in an effort to “do it right” this time. Claiming an unnamed source in the video distribution industry, the rumor suggests a plan to deliver a set-top box with DVR, rolled out on a city-by-city basis as it negotiates channel agreements. Despite a number of demos through the years, the Intel-powered TV boxes that have landed in our living rooms so far have been the first gen Google TV and Boxee Box units. Both struggled to make a significant impact and switched to ARM CPUs for the second generation of their products.
Based on some of the tech demos we’ve seen and earlier rumors, Intel’s plans could include using facial recognition to personalize the experience for (and target advertising towards) different viewers, and offering smaller, cheaper bundles of channels than traditional providers. Another element from the TechCrunch post indicates a plan to provide a Catch Up TV-style service that lets users view anything that has aired in the last month on the channels they’re subscribed to, although there’s no word on what will power this technology.
Intel’s participation in Comcast’s Reference Design Kit program is also referenced, although given Big Cable’s traditional reluctance regarding alternative delivery models, any sort of tie-in here seems like a long shot to us. A combo package of pay-TV channels and internet VOD has been tried before, although Sezmi’s antenna-connected solution failed to catch on and fizzled late last year. Like recently rekindled Apple HDTV rumors, the potential of Intel’s service may rely just as much on its success negotiating with content providers as any technology it’s cooked up. Check out the rest of the rumor at the source link and a video from Intel’s 2009 IDF demo after the break, we’ll have any official announcements as they happen from the press conference January 7th.
