Beyond Smart TV: \u2018Surfaces\u2019 prototype reveals the television of tomorrow<\/strong><\/a> — from wired.com by Christina Bonnington<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIn a few years\u2019 time, you\u2019ll be able to buy a TV that covers an entire wall, acting like wallpaper,\u201d NDS chief marketing officer Nigel Smith told Wired. In this way, the TV could take the form of a gigantic canvas, providing layers of additional information, as well as different levels of immersion.<\/p>\n

Because wall-sized TVs are hard to come by, NDS created a $30,000 setup comprised of six LCDs arranged in a rectangular array. The onscreen system is coded in HTML5 and runs on Chrome. A second screen experience, also coded in HTML5, provides remote control functionality in the browser of an iPad.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Xbox 360 hailed as a game-changer for Connected TV<\/a><\/strong> — from v-net.tv by John Moulding<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

The Xbox 360 will be a game-changing device in the Connected TV market now that Microsoft has decided to transform it from a games console into a general entertainment hub. That is the view of Christian Bombrun, Deputy General Manager, Web, at M6, the French broadcaster that last December became the first free French channel to be available via a games console. \u201cThe difference between the Xbox and connected TVs is that this device is very well connected. Most people that buy a connected TV do not even know they are getting one and they do not plug it into the Internet,\u201d he argues. \u201cXbox 360 users have already connected the device to enhance the gaming experience.\u201d<\/p>\n
