Samsung B9000 HDTVs

Samsung has recently announced 46″ and 55″ HDTVs from the B9000 series that are actually sequels of the A950 models released sometime last year. These additions offer LED backlights alongside localized dimming to ensure you get the sharpest image possible, while Media 2.0 with YouTube/Yahoo! Widgets support add another dimension of interactivity. A built-in USB port allows you to view your favorite photos over a big screen, while DLNA functionality and a wireless connection to the external media box further adds to the overall desirability of the product. Too bad Samsung has not revealed important information such as pricing or availability, but that’s just a matter of time really.

Starting July, the $100 DXG-125V HD waterproof camcorder shoots in 720p using h.264 compression and is available in red, olive green and camouflage.

Too manly for you? There’s a girly version too. With a built-in compass, lithium-ion rechargeable battery and waterproof body, the DXG-125V camcorder looks like it was built to stand a few bumps and bruises out in the nitty, gritty outdoors. But if you’re looking for something a little more feminine, in August, you’ll be able to get the $130 Luxe version that comes with a 3-inch LCD flip-out screen, designed to look like a plush clutch purse.
