This is another one of those things that will probably happen, but I’m not all that excited. But I am not opposed to improving the overall features of our displays, especially if the cost is minimal–similar to how Blu-ray players now all seem to include online video technology integrated. i4U According to research firm Gigaom 3DTV shipments are set to […]

I don’t think it’s all that crazy given the gigabit powerline networking which has improved over the years, so there’s really no reason it couldn’t handle the bandwidth to stream all sorts of other video and content. I’ll wait and see a review before I invest in it though… SlashGear The device allows users to […]
