Here are some interesting news for all your aunts, uncles, grandmothers, and grandfathers who are still living in 1980's when it comes to technology. Samsung has announced its new line of HDTV's with broadband capabilities and built-in Skype software. You can control Skype via TV's remote, and you can create new accounts, sign in to existing ones, and use Skype in usual way. Voice calls are supported out of the box, and you can make video calls with appropriate web-cam attachment.
Samsung has announced the new flagship TV model – C9000. Besides being the ultrathin LED (yes, on the picture below you see the side view as well) it could easily be the TV that outbeats your smartphone with it's remote
Coming in late 2010, this ultrathin monster has 3D support as well, and remote is suitable for video streaming from other sources. TV will be able to convert 2D content to 3D. Do you notice the lack of connectors on the sides ? C9000 looks sexy, but impractical That's why the stand acts as a wall mount as well – it's not just a stand, it is filled with connectors.

We have already published a lot of screenshots of Samsung's I8000 Omnia II.

The device itself is very fast, and build quality is excellent. After a quick check of the specs we present you a vdeo tour and a ton of new screenshots:
For the geeks with computer science degree or just brave enough, we have stumbled upon interesting project. The recent set of Samsung TV Firmwares is based on Linux core (GPL), which enabled new perspective on hacking Samsung TV firmware. With some reverse engineering skills, after changing an official version of the firmware in a hex editor, SamyGo programmers , enabled telnet daemon at boot time so you can use alternative firmware on your brand new TV. It is nice to be able to ping your TV and take full control of it.
