Take a look people. What do you reckon? Can you see one of these adorning the future kitchen of your future house? Or bedrooms? Or that big room with the nice panoramic window/big screen tv? I do!!!

yeah, sorry. I can't say how much cos i'm too afraid to ask too But it'll be the same as all new tech. Expensive from the get go, but will become cheaper with mass production (which is set to start this year too btw!)
Yeah it's interesting. I'd like to know what sort of things you can connect up to it though, or is it just running off something similar to an ipad. If you could connect things like a playstation, or your laptop and TV, then I'd be interested, but if you can only run "apps" off it, then it's not for me...

From what I could see on it, it would be a more advanced version of the current Samsung Smart Hub. It would act like a normal tv (plug things into it etc) plus has that internet streaming capability, like the apps and games and internet tv channels. I wouldn't want anything less in it either for me to want to have one. Would seem kinda pointless if that stuff wasn't included standard.
That is an awesome bit of technology! Obviously will be too expensive when it first comes out, like most things, but I think a few generations down the track, when other companies start making similar products, the price will come down and make it affordable.
