Today Show – Smart Televisions From IFA

Spoke with Karl on the Today Show this morning about some of the latest smart television technologies that are being show-cased at the consumer electronic out of the IFA Expo in Berlin, Germany.

This technology is the next step in the evolution of televisions, and while they certainly look impressive, so is the price. I’m just hoping the early adopters get stuck in and buy them by the bucket load so as to drive demand up, but the price down.

Here’s the run down:
