The world of electronics is a fast moving business because the technology advances so quickly. For the companies involved, this means that from year to year, the daily operating and trading of their business can change dramatically as they embrace the new technology that becomes available. Some of the larger companies started a long time ago before electronic gadgets were commonplace in every home. This can mean that their business model is now entirely different to how it was when the company first started.

Friday, November 11th, 2011The number of secrets an instruction manual could hide is infinite.

One Function Too Many
Thursday, March 4th, 2010A recent study has shown that British consumers are spending an estimated £52 billion every year on gadgets that they have no idea how to use! Are you one of those people? It’s quite possible! Just take a moment to consider all the electronic gadgets and gizmos you own, there’s probably quite a lot. Now, how many of those gadgets do you really know how to use properly? Do you use your Blackberry or trendy iPhone for anything other than making phone calls and text messages? The answer is probably no!
Many people would argue that the reason that we don’t know how to use these gadgets is because of all the needless functionality built into them. Do you really need a camera in your mp3 player? It just confuses consumers, particularly when it comes to the matter of compatibility between gadgets and the different formats of media they utilise, this is when things can get really confusing!
However, think for a moment about your TV. You know how to use that. Even the latest, high spec Samsung LCD TV is simple to use, probably simpler than previous models. Whilst other gadgets become more complex and confusing as technology advances, TVs seem to be getting easier to use! There’s a huge range of affordable, cheap plasma TVs currently on the market that even the most technologically inept can use without any hassle.
So next time you’re thinking about spending a small fortune on the latest mp3 player with built in Wi-Fi compatibility and an integrated 10 megapixel camera that you’re never going to use, perhaps you should instead consider putting that money towards a cheap plasma TV you’ll actually use to its full potential! We’re already spending £52 billion a year on technology we can’t use, why not spend some of that on technology you can?
Samsung Leads The Consumer 3D Charge
Thursday, February 25th, 2010Samsung have announced this week that they will be rolling out the first of their home 3D HDTVs to stores in the UK in March this year. Samsung obviously feel they stole a march on the rest of the consumer HDTV market with their announcement back in January that they had started producing 3D HDTV panels, and now they are keen to capitalise on that advantage by getting the new technology to market as soon as possible.
The good news for average consumers are the reports circulating that there will be new 3D capable TVs right across the Samsung LCD TV range, and that the technology won’t be restricted to just the top priced models. This means that if you’re a fan of 3DTV then you might want to hold off buying for a few weeks until these new Samsung LCD TVs become available.
Quite what 3D content will be available for home consumers will be largely up to what deals Samsung will or can strike with providers, as widespread adoption of the new service will most likely be dictated by the pace at which other manufacturers release their own 3DTVs. With many consumers not yet onboard with HDTV and providers having just invested heavily regarding the high resolution revolution, 3DTV may have come slightly too soon to prove an overnight success. However, anyone who had the benefit of seeing recent Hollywood blockbuster Avatar in full 3D glory will testify that at least the idea of having it in your home will be desirable to many, especially bundled with the kind of great quality seen in even cheap Samsung LCD TVs.
Even Fewer Reasons To Leave The Sofa
Thursday, February 11th, 2010Last time we checked, “widgets” were those little boxes of air which gave your tin of John Smith’s Smooth its creamy texture, but the internet age is not only take over our lives but also taking over everyone’s terminology it seems, as mentioning having a “widget” in your beer would now have you greeted with more than a few sideways glances. This is because “widgets” are now little mini software applications designed to integrate with and add functionality to existing programs and applications. The advantage of “widgets” is that they allow system designers to release fairly bare-bones software, which is significantly cheaper than having to design sprawling operating systems catering to everyone, and allows consumers to add only the functions they need and want, leading to a cheaper and more efficient experience all round.
Samsung have been using this “widget” system to great effect in their Internet@home service, a project allowing for integrated home internet surfing and shopping via their televisions. Their customers are treated to a certain level of functionality with the standard software that comes bundled with their Samsung LCD TV, but then can add on extra bits and pieces such as an application to give them travel updates or news headlines. Samsung are now taking this one step further by teaming up with Negravision to allow their customers to browse and order other Samsung products via their TV. Quite how many of their TVs they expect to sell to people who already have one we shall see.
As the technology develops in the future it will still work on TVs brought now, so if you’ve been looking in at cheap Samsung LCD TVs with a view to buying then you can relax in regards to future proofing. As always though, it’s best to look at cheap LCD TVs from other manufacturers too before taking the plunge.
