Samsung Blu-ray The app craze is spilling further into the world of home theaters, with Samsung launching an application store for select 2010 Blu-ray players, HDTVs and home theaters.
Samsung’s store is an upgrade to its existing Internet@TV platform, which launched last year as a strip of widgets running along the bottom of the television screen. These included Flickr, Yahoo and others. The new app store will include offerings from Accedo Broadband, AccuWeather.com, The Associated Press,,Blockbuster, Fashion TV, Netflix, Picasa, Pandora, Rovi, Travel Channel, Twitter, USA TODAY and Vudu. More apps will be added later this year.
But photos issued by the consumer electronics maker on Monday showed the Blu-ray Disc player to have a gently curved top and the piano black finish that is currently so popular with consumer electronics products.
It will be shown along with new home theater systems and big-screen TVs that can be hung on the wall. Samsung, like other TV makers, is developing thinner flat-panel TVs and at CES will also show new wall mounts that enable the panels to be placed closer to the wall for an overall lower profile.
Last in the series is the BD-C5900, which lacks the 1GB built-in storage capacity offered in the first 3D two models. The BD-C7900 is available for $399 (MSRP), the BD-C6900 will cost $279 (MSRP) and the BD-C5900 is priced at $229 (MSRP). However, you can find the Samsung BD-C7900 at Amazon and Best Buy right now and the other players are likely to follow in the near future.
