Posted in: hdtv, Television, Today's Chili, Toshiba, Yahoo
If you weren’t tired of the word “widget” yet, you’re about to be. Yahoo! and Toshiba announced today that the two companies would partner to bring Yahoo! Connected Television to new models of Toshiba HDTVs, including Toshiba’s flagship 3D LED HDTV, the WX800 Cinema Series. All of Toshiba’s new 46″ to 55″ HD models will include Yahoo! Connected TV, and should be available now.
This means that new Toshiba HDTV buyers will be able to access Yahoo! widgets like streaming movies from BlockBuster online, Web video from YouTube, news and alerts from CBS News, streaming audio from Pandora, and even read their Twitter stream or Facebook feed right on their television. Yahoo!’s new partnership with Toshiba adds another manufacturer to the number of companies that have committed to using Yahoo! widgets on their sets, including Vizio, LG, Samsung, and Sony.
