Vizio Sets Its Mark With WiFi HDTV
Vizio is a renowned name when it comes to High Definition TVs and living up to their name, the association from Irvine has been thinking of making their vision of a first Wi-Fi HDTV a reality to the great delight of the users worldwide. The new version of the Vizio TVs is set for release by the last quarter of 2009.
The first Wi-Fi HDTV will have a QWERTY remote and access to Yahoo widgets. The 55 inch LED backlit LCD will also feature a USB jack called Vudu that would ensure that you can play and view music and images in all video formats from a connected drive. The remote has a QWERTY keyboard that can be slid out and has Bluetooth capabilities. The Wi-Fi HDTV will also have the intelligent dimming technology that turn off a LCD and enlarges blacks.
The HDTV will have internet connectivity that is definitely going to woo the users. The Wi-Fi HDTV will also give you the freedom to do away with the router as it has a Wi-Fi 802.11n modems to help you bond wirelessly. The usage of Yahoo widgets would mean that users can set up an interactive environment for themselves.
In a time where many companies have decided to hold back the Yahoo widget channel, the HDTV from Vizio would also have the Adobe supports. The 1080p HDTV also comes at smaller sizes of 47 and 42 inches. Vizio has left the major world companies class behind with this HDTV which is first of its kind.

Can Yahoo Save You Cash?
Daily deals is simple enough: deals appear on the website for a certain amount of time, usually 24 hours. Everything from Ottomans to watches are up for grabs. Most of the deals are powered through third parties, like Woot, TechBargains, and others.
Coupons and Weekly Ads, however, are aggregators of deals. They scour places like CouponMountain, Dealnews, ESticker, HSN, and Amazon for the most recent deals. You can save them or comment on them as well. Weekly Ads lets you print out the classic coupon pages and books you get in the mail, which actually becomes useful when you go to buy groceries. There are also little additions like a widget for finding cheap gas near your location, contests, and video tips on saving cash (though I havent’ seem those pop up yet).
Overall, the new Yahoo Deals is a coupon and savings aggregator, and a good one at that. Quickly search for your store or product and you’ll probably find something. Being able to print out grocery coupons will quickly add up to big savings. And its partnerships gives it exclusive discounts others don’t have. Saving money is still sexy, and Yahoo Deals will fulfill that need if you have to penny pinch.

Sony PS3 Slim Shipping Today
Sony PS3 Slim officially will be shipping today one week earlier from it’s initially slated September 1st release. Amazon updated PS3 Slim listing to be shipping as early as tomorrow which accordingly reflected to GameStop listing.
Seemingly this is a major surprise for those willingly gamers who pre-ordered the console, but such intriguing Sony’s decision is shipping the console earlier than announced. Most likely what comes on my mind is Microsoft’s Xbox 360 price-cut which is expected to slash price of Xbox 360 Elite to $299.99. This could be Sony’s precaution to lure buyers before Xbox comes into price competition.
So far, the new Sony PS3 Slim clearly has an edge with Xbox, with cheaper price, features and slim design, plus the hype that its ‘new’. Now I don’t hear about Wii?

New Iphone App Lets You Buy Shoes
By Lisa Palladino on shopping
There's likely no end in sight to the number of iPhone apps to come. So I'm going to tell you about one more, OK? You'll thank me. Actually, thank The New York Times: Designer fashion hub Net-a-Porter.com released its iPhone application, the Net-App, in mid-July. Shoppers can browse handbags, clothes and shoes; read the site's weekly fashion stories; and make purchases. The Times noted that even though some people use their cell phones to buy virtual goods to use in mobile games or e-books to read on their phones, the masses have not shown much willingness to buy physical goods - especially expensive ones - from their cell phones. (Kind of like how early online purchases, of anything, were made by the few and the brave; now, it's second nature.)
But Net-a-Porter.com, which went live in 2000 and states it has 1.8 million visitors a month, succeeded in getting people to buy $4,000 gowns and $1,000 stilettos on the Web, so iPhone app success may be in sight. The potential for shopping on phones "is massive," said Alison Loehnis, v.p. of sales and marketing at Net-a-Porter.com, in the Times. "We feel very strongly that third-generation technology is the new shop window. No one wants to be bound to their computer anymore."
Net-a-Porter.com is not the first to offer an iPhone shopping app: there's Lucky at Your Service from Lucky magazine and ShopStyle Mobile from ShopStyle. Net-a-Porter, however, developed a tool it calls ClosetFlow, which shows users small images of new products to thumb through. Shoppers can zoom in, flip the phone to look at items from different directions, and read more detailed information about them. The shopper can add the items to a wish list to access later from a computer or buy from within the application, without opening a separate browser window.
Loehnis noted in the article: "Our customers love to shop from their homes or offices, but we want our customers to be able to shop from a cab or while waiting in line and really maximize what little free time they have."
