If you have to have the latest and greatest in gadgets and widgets, you need to pimp out your HDTV with Vizio’s Twitter, Flickr and Netflix enabled XVT television. These TVs are said to be even more equipped than a TiVo and Windows Media Server.
CrunchGear states that “owners will be able to stream content from Revision3, Showtime and Pandora for free, while also able to subscribe to Vudu, Netflix, Blockbuster OnDemand, Amazon Video On Demand and Rhapsody. Plus, the sets are able to work with Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and the Yahoo Widgets Engine.”
Best of all, the aforementioned features will all be accessible through an easy-to-use Bluetooth remote that has a slide-down keyboard.
This is what the future looks like.
