Unless those tv's are under $1000 I highly doubt it.

Vizio getting into the laptop and AIO PC business is interesting. Their products look nice too.

Lastly, the company announced the 55-inch 3D K91, the world’s first smart TV running Android 4.0. The K91 features a dual-core Snapdragon processor, HDMI, Wi-Fi, an SD card slot, and a 5-megapixel front facing camera. The K91 is not considered a Google TV device, however, but it has access to the Android Market and Lenovo Store for thousands of apps. The IdeaTab S2 tablet, S2 smartphone and K91 smart TV are currently available in China, with worldwide availability coming at a later date. Lenovo’s press release can be found after the break.
Lenovo with a android TV.

New Windows Phones are nice looking.


Lumia 900



HTC Titan 2 - LTE and has a 16 megapixel screen.

Some of the really big OLED screens are sick looking as well.

The teaser was referring to the Droid RAZR MAXX...a Verizon 4G LTE phone boasting 21+ hours of battery life. Insane life for a 4G device.

I am actually hoping to see some progression with passive 3D in more tv brands.

Do you use your phone? Show us your battery stats...

Hit menu key, settings, scroll to about phone, battery then select battery use.

Android phones are pretty bad with battery life and that's androids #1 complaint.

Yeah, they are shitty. I love my Rezound, but it only gets about 11 hrs with moderate to medium use. Honestly, that is a helluva a step up from my Incredible.

that isnt normal usage obviously. i average about 15-16 hours(i rarely have to charge the phone before i goto bed) depending on which live wallpaper i use. the key is your settings. i have it set up to turn data off after 15 minutes of no use and use the task manager to auto shut off apps after the screen times out after 2 minutes. plus i dont have it checking for email every 5 minutes etc.

yes, who is going to stand at their window and use that? cool technology, but again, not practical. put that on a car window, might be useful.

Lol, as you crash right into a tree. I've always thought that cell phones with a built in projector would be sick for watching movies and stuff.

Nice, but is anything like that on the market? Also could LG have picked a worse guy to demo the product? Geez.

Not practical? This was a prototype to show how it could be used.

It's perfectly practical, say you have that on one of your kitchen windows depending on the layout of your kitchen and you can have recipes or tv or whatever showing while you cook. They were showing off the technology not the end use, other companies will likely do that.

or you could just a use a cheaper lap top instead of leaning over your sink trying to touch the screen and having to turn around to face the window when you are working at the oven/stove top. not to mention smudging your window up with greasy dirty fingers from cooking, down the screen would work well that way.

sorry, not practical.

You have no vision. If everyone had the same attitude as you we'd have none of the cool shit we do now.

you do realize many many more inventions etc fail than ever catch on in society right? its like concept cars...they are fun to look at, but the overall majority never see production.
