Samsung shows 6.5mm thin LED TV at the CES 2009

One of the greatest things about all consumer electronics shows (whether we're talking about CES, CEDIA, IFA or CeBIT) is the fact that they're the places where the world's most advanced technologies “congregate” visitors being able to take a look at certain products (some of them only prototypes) that will certainly push forward everyone's expectations even further. And that's exactly the case with Samsung, which might rock the CES 2009 show with what appears to be the world's thinnest HDTV, measuring just 6.5-mm in thickness.

The new ultra-thin Samsung LED TV panel also is up to snuff when it comes to display technology. The new panel supports a 240Hz refresh rate and Wide Color ControlPro promising a wider spectrum of colors.




this very thin form factor has been attained by using LED backlighting technology, which allows for very high-quality images, as well as ultra-thin panels. For this reason, it would seem that Samsung's future displays will be known as the “LUXIA LED TV” line, emphasizing the very important role of light-emitting diodes.

Apple may unveil cheaper iPhone

Apple Inc will probably begin selling a lower-priced version of the iPhone in the first half of 2009, tapping a new chipmaker for a key component, according to Friedman, Billings, Ramsey & Co.

Qualcomm Inc will replace Infineon Technologies AG as the supplier of the baseband processor -- the chip that translates radio signals into voice and data -- in the new model, analyst Craig Berger said in a report. The phone might debut in the second quarter, he said, citing unidentified industry sources.

Apple may be turning to lower-cost products to fuel sales in developing countries as the US economy shrinks. The company is planning a smaller version of its Shuffle music player and a cheaper MacBook laptop, Berger said. None of the devices is likely to be ready to be unveiled at next week’s Macworld conference, where Apple typically makes product announcements.

“Mobile phone sales figures will continue to grow worldwide in 2009 and most of that growth will come from developing countries,” said Hakim Kriout, a portfolio manager at Grigsby & Associates, a New York-based securities trading firm that owns Apple shares.

“Turning the iPhone into a product line by adding another device for the lower end of the market is the next logical phase.”

Jennifer Bowcock, Apple’s spokeswoman for the iPhone, didn’t immediately return a call or email seeking comment. San Diego-based Qualcomm’s Bertha Agia also didn’t immediately return a phone call.
