Slides from a presentation by Jason Grigsby about smart TV. The key problem with Smart TV right now: you can't know whether or what you're supplying content to.

Frustrated with cable spaghetti ruining the otherwise sharp lines of its TV storage units, the Scandinavian firm has taken it one step further, and built the TV right in to the furniture. Yup, "Uppleva" is an all-in-one TV and stand with storage built in co-operation with China's TCL Multimedia. Not only that, it also incorporates a Blu-ray / DVD player and surround sound (with wireless sub woofer.) Details on the TV itself are sparse, but there's a brace of USB inputs and four HDMI ports (so you can re-add in some wires), plus FM radio and internet connectivity, but beyond that we're left guessing.

(The Swedish translation of its name is "experience".)

Market research firm IHS iSuppli said Tuesday that U.S.-bound shipments of flat-panel TVs will drop 5% in 2012, slipping to 37.1m units from 39.1m units in 2011. And that decline will likely continue for the next few years. By 2013, IHS figures shipments will drop to just below 35m and by 2015, they’ll be hovering around 34.2m.

This is the environment that smart TV is being launched into: an unpromising one where the market is saturated, and the people who are buying are the "late adopters" of flat TV - and so are unlikely to take advantage of "smart" features.

This camera is a Wi-fi enabled webcam-like device that allows you to turn your gigantic home television into a 720p conferencing station, fully integrated with Skype. This little device also allows you to browse the web and use YouTube on your television with ease. And what’s best? It’s doing so with Android!

The 55-inch 3D-enabled IPS television is running a skinned version of Android 4.0 ICS, has a webcam built into the bezel, and is powered by 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor.
