Samsung is expected to show plenty of TVs and home theater products. The company late last month hinted at "an unprecedented new TV shape" it will show at CES. The television, which sat vertically instead of horizontally, appeared to be see-through. Samsung also likely will be among the many electronics providers showcasing Ultra HD 4K TVs, among other products.

Samsung has already announced many of its audio and home theater products for 2013, including a Bluetooth speaker with NFC pairing; the BD-F7500 Blu-ray player that offers 4K (Ultra HD) upconversion and content recommendation features; and a home theater system and sound bar, both of which offer the retro vacuum tube sound that Samsung first introduced in 2012 with the DA-E750 audio dock.

Other earlier Samsung announcements include the Series 7 Ultra and Series 7 Chronos Windows 8 laptops, and the SC770 1080p touch-screen monitor.
Samsung aims to upend TV design at CES, clearly
TV in Ultra HD, new designs at CES 2013

In mobile, however, we're not expecting much. The company (along with many others) has tended to introduce phones at its own events or at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

Pantech Discover: $50 large-screen, 12MP Android

http://asset1.cbsistatic.com/cnwk.1d...ES_610x504.jpg

One of Pantech's most ambitious smartphones yet, AT&T's Pantech Discover combines a 4.8-inch 720p HD display with a 12.6-megapixel camera on a 4G LTE, Android handset.

The smartphone also features a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm MSM8960 Snapdragon S4 Pro processor; NFC, or near-field communication, protocol; and crams in a 2,100 mAH battery to support the power-hungry screen.

On the software side, Pantech makes its own mark with the option of Easy Mode, which simplifies the Android home screen layout with preinstalled icons that are also large and finger-friendly.

AT&T gets into the action with its AT&T DriveMode app, a helper to keep you from texting and crashing. In fact, Pantech's Discover is the first phone to get it.

Unfortunately, the Discover only runs on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for now, and I'd prefer to see the newer 4.1 Jelly Bean on here.

However, you can paper over a multitude of peccadilloes with fantastic price, and that's always something Pantech does exquisitely. The Discover costs just $49.99 with a new two-year agreement with AT&T. The phone goes on sale January 11.

Nuance Innovates Crowd Sourcing for the Keyboard; Swype Living Language Learns from Users around the Globe.

“Swype continues to be the best keyboard in the industry, leading the way with innovations that really work and that people really use – and Swype Living Language is yet another example,” said Aaron Sheedy, vice president, text input, Nuance Mobile. “By leveraging the cloud and crowd-sourcing input from around the world, Swype provides users with a device that further humanizes interactions through touch—and changes the way our increasingly dynamic language is learned and used.”

Crowd sourcing commonly used words? Well I hope they have a bloody good filter for their auto correction because I really don't know how I would feel with having a plethora of misspelled words appear in my dictionary.

Or the worst of them all... YOLO *shudders*

Keep up with the updates Ranbaxy :)

NVIDIA officially unveils Tegra 4: offers quad-core Cortex A15, 72 GPU cores :eek:

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget....1/dsc05189.jpg

One new SoC per year? That's what NVIDIA pledged back in the fall of 2010 and today at its CES 2013 presser, it delivered with the Tegra 4's official unveiling. The chip, which retains the same 4-plus-1 arrangement of its predecessor, arrives with a whopping 72 GeForce GPU cores -- effectively offering six times the Tegra 3's visual output and is based on the 28nm process. It also is the first quad-core processor with Cortex A15 cores on-board, and offers compatibility with LTE networks through an optional chip. NVIDIA claims this piece of silicon is the world's fastest mobile processor, and showed a demonstration in which a Tegra 4 went head-to-head against a Nexus 10 in loading websites (you can guess which one won).

The Tegra 4 also introduces new computational photography architecture, which adds a new engine to drive the image processing and significantly improve the amount of time it takes to calculate the necessary mathematics 10 times faster than current platforms. To show off its power, NVIDIA demonstrated HDR rendering on live video. The chip is also capable of implementing HDR in burst shots and with LED flash. The idea, NVIDIA says, is to eventually make our mobile cameras more powerful than DSLRs, and this is certainly a step in the right direction.

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget....1/dsc05199.jpg

The Tegra 4 will also enable 4K ultra high-definition video support, as well as PRISM 2 display tech that claims to reduce the power used by the backlight. Doing so will result in a 45 percent decrease in power consumption when compared to Tegra 3.

Announced alongside the Tegra 4 was the i500 Soft Modem, which is essentially a reprogrammable baseband solution that is capable of utilizing a wide variety of networks. The chip, which is an optional addendum to the Tegra 4 platform to enable LTE support, is able to process 1.2 trillion operations per second and is 40 percent the size of a conventional baseband chip.

We're still waiting to hear about availability for the Tegra 4, but enjoy the press release and above photo gallery in the meantime.

Vizio Unveils First Tegra 4-Powered Ten-Inch Tablet and a Smaller, Seven-Incher

http://cdn.pocketnow.com/wp-content/...01/Vizio10.jpg

The NVIDIA Tegra 4 SoC is probably the fastest chipset on the market at the moment and, aside from powering the company’s own Project SHIELD, it is also at the core of Vizio’s new ten-inch tablet. The resolution is similar to the one on the Google Nexus 10: 2560 x 1600 pixels and the ten-incher also packs 32GB of storage, Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi, as well as a pair of front and rear cameras. It will run Android 4.2 Jelly Bean out-of-the box.

The seven-inch Vizio tablet is powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra 3 SoC and has an IPS display with a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels, 16GB of storage, 1.2-megapixel webcam on the front, and runs stock Android Jelly Bean. Once it will be available the version of the OS will be 4.2.

At the moment there is no exact information regarding pricing or availability for the two Vizio tablets.
