Samsung, Sony impress at CES 2013

Unpublished
Las Vegas - the world's largest electronics show got started in Las Vegas, USA, on Tuesday.
With Apple, Microsoft, and Google all absent, Samsung, Sony, Intel, and others showed off their latest and greatest technologies. In the past, electronics such as the CD player, camcorder, and VCR made their stateside debuts at CES. More recently, HDTV, tablets, and the Microsoft Xbox have been unveiled at the conference.
Samsung wowed on day one, introducing an ultra high-definition, 110-inch TV, an internet-connected refrigerator with a touchscreen and apps, and a new Galaxy Tab 10.1 inch tablet. Its F8000 TV will be between 46 and 75 inches and can be controlled with a users’ voice; and it will be Internet- and social networking-enabled. The company’s “Smart Hub” will act as a kind of home screen for TV watchers, allowing people to use hand gestures to navigate through different TV options.

Sony, meanwhile, announced the Xperia Z, an Android smartphone that boasts a 5-inch screen; a 13-megapixel camera and a quad-core processor; two new types of ultra-HDTVs (that will likely cost less than the company's existing $25,000 model); and a new line of water-resistant phones.
