Samsung CES 2012 Press Conference

I LOVED the Samsung CES 2012 press conference. It got me really excited about all their new products (and sad that I can not see them in person) Because it was such a spectacular s show and it’s on YouTube, so I’m including a link to the full press conference. Here is a 10 minute recap that includes the highlights.

Here is my recap of the Samsung CES 2012 technology that will enhance your life.

Samsung is Pushing Boundaries

• In November, Samsung sold an average of 2 TVs per second.
• Make consumers life Simpler, Smarter & More Enjoyable (Sound like my tag line, “Technology to Enhance Your Life”)
• Samsung has a wide array of devices that connect and the TV is the hub of this ecosystem.
• Smart Interaction – Samsung TV will be able to Listen, See & Do without touching a remote control.
• Smart Content – Share photos, notes, memories from TV and personal devices. Access educational & health content. TV that understands your needs.
• Smart Evolution – TV is future-proofed. Smart TV will get smarter every year and you won’t need to buy a new one every year. Make your TV new every year. Faster, better, more content.

Samsung Future-Proof

This is cool. You know how you buy a TV and you are so excited, you get it home and then you see a commercial on that very TV with all the new TVs that are coming out (which of course drops the price of the TV you just bought.) TVs were a product you would buy and expect to own for many years. It was a major piece of furniture and we’ve got away from that. Well, Samsung is bringing that idea back with future-proof TVs. Watch the video to see how it works.

Content, Service & Connectivity is basis for their cross-platform devices.

Smart Content

• Purchase your content for one device and watch it on all devices (love this!)
• More premium content available.
• More 3D devices available and Samsung helping to offer more 3D content

Samsung Family Story

This is exciting. This fulfills many of my tech needs. I workout at home and I’m always looking for new ways to find workouts and track my progress. My kids are also always looking for new shows and I love that parents can track what the kids are watching.
