At its CES press event on January 9, Samsung announced plans for new upgradeable smart TVs, a refreshed Series 9 notebook, and a new version of the Galaxy Tab 7.7, along with a bevy of other new products. The company's product strategy centers around connectivity to its smart TVs and other devices, but Samsung executives offered only a glimpse of the company's new cloud storage and syncing service. The company also demonstrated more commitment to 3D TVs, promising development of more content—including a 3D version of the Battlestar Galactica series.
Samsung's LED smart TV, the ES8000, will come in sizes up to 75 inches. The ES8000 will have an integrated camera and microphone to allow control by gestures and voice commands. The camera will also make use of facial recognition, logging recognizable users into their own profiles on the TV.
