As CES gets underway this week, the intersection between HDTV and the Internet is becoming a unifying theme.
LG Monday announced that it will unveil its first Netflix-streaming TVs, and now Samsung has teamed with Yahoo on the Yahoo! Widget Engine, an Internet applications suite that can be accessed directly through new Samsung TVs.
The suite includes access to several Yahoo-affiliated Web destinations, including Yahoo News, Flickr and others, as well as YouTube and eBay.
“The collaboration with Yahoo! lets viewers go one step further," Samsung executive vice president for Visual Display, Boo-Keun Yoon, said as part of the announcement. "This new interface allows them to interact and connect with many of their favorite Web services on a personal level. It’s frankly way beyond just passively watching broadcasts and is no doubt the future of TV.”
