Samsung sure wasn’t kidding when they said they’d revolutionize home entertainment viewing. That up there is their new C9000 3D HDTV and yes, it really is that slim! It has 3D support, a number of USB and HDMI slots on the base, and the remote can even function as a mini smartphone that views streaming media from other sources. No word on the actual dimensions and price of this fine gadget, but I bet it will cost thousands of dollars and dominate a living room.

HD camcorders were said to be everywhere during CES 2010, and JVC had some of the hottest models to show off. The Everio line features hybrid, hard disk camcorders that allows you to shoot great videos no matter what the conditions are. This year, JVC unveiled nine new Everio models at CES. Each new camera in the Everio line is equipped with an Advanced Image Stabilizer that promises a stable image even if you’re walking beside your subject. Selected models are equipped with a Back-Illuminated CMOS sensor for superior sensitivity in low light conditions. It’s also got time-lapse recording and auto recording.

The flagship model GZ-HM1 can shoot a full ull 1080p HD video, 10MP stills, and has a 10.62 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor. This is also one of the cameras equipped to function optimally during low light conditions. It can do high speed recording and time lapse recorder for as much as 600 FPS. These fancy features don’t come cheap, because the JVC GZ-HM1 will cost around $1,199.99 when it becomes available in March.

CES 2010 is big on the 3D HDTV sets, and Panasonic unveiled a real showstopper today. They did a live demo of their new 152″ HD3D Plasma TV, which features a plasma display panel illuminated by its new efficient quadruple luminous efficiency technology. This self-illumnating plasma panel provides better response to moving images with a full movition picture resolution, perfect for 3D imagery. The new ultra high-speed 3D drive technology also has one fourth the speed of regular Full HD panels and enables high-quality Full HD3D on the ultra-large 152-inch screen. If I had a TV that huge, I wouldn’t need to go to the movies anymore!

But not everyone can afford to throw away thousands and thousands of dollars on a big-ass TV. For the average consumer, Panasonic unveiled a line of smaller 3D HDTVs. The TC-P50VT20 and TC-P50VT25 have a 50″ class screen. The TC-P54VT25 has a 54″ screen, while the TC-P58VT25 is a 58″ model. The largest of all TV is the TC-P65VT25, which is about 65″ wide. All of them come with one pair of Panasonic 3D glasses, which are said to be fairly well-built.

Expect the 3D HDTVs to hit stores by spring.

To keep up with the theme of new notebooks and laptops at CES 2010, Samsung announced five, stylish new models in its R-Series line of netbooks – the powerful R780, R580 and R480 and the affordable, R530 and R430. The first three models are designed for perfect video viewing and multitasking ease – they come equipped with Intel® processors and nVIDIA GeForce graphics. All five models feature a fresh ergonomic design (e.g. numeric keypad on the R780 and R580), an invisible touch pad on the R580, and Samsung’s new Touch of Color design.

Aside from the new R-Series notebooks, Samsung will also be releasing new netbooks – the Samsumg N210, N150 and NB30. The N210 is designed to deliver up to 12 hours of battery life, and the N150 and NB30 should last up to 8.5 hours. The new netbooks’ 10.1″ LED back-lit anti-reflective display fine-tunes movies and images with the sharpest details and boldest colors, with no mirror effect under bright lights or in sunny weather. The NB30 offers added durability with a free-fall sensor that prevents hard drive damage and a specially designed durable casing.

There’s no news on pricing and availability just yet, but stay tuned!

CES 2010 hasn’t officially begun yet, but manufacturers are starting to announce new products to get consumers all excited. Asus just unveiled a whole bunch of new notebook and netbooks, including two new lines – the K-Series and N-Series. The N-Series is part of Asus’s USB 3.0 solutions – it comes with USB 3.0 ports, has SonicMaster audio technology, and can be fitted with Intel Core i3, i5, and i7 processors. The K-Series has some sort of sensor that can tell the difference between a balm and finger on the trackpad. If it senses a palm, the cursor will not move.

There’s also a fashionable Asus Eee PC netbook to look forward to this year. Asus and designer Karim Rashid came up with a new Asus Eee PC Seashell that reflects Karim’s vision of computing – one that is more human, sensual, and hip. It features fluid waves, an ergonomic chiclet keyboard that’s soft to the touch, a frameless 10.1″ LED backlit display, and the new power-saving Intel Atom N450 CPU together with Asus’s exclusive Super Hybrid engine energy management technology. A single charge will deliver up to six hours of battery life. The Karim Rashid Eee PC Seashell also has Express Gate, an ancillary OS that boots up in seconds to give you near access to the Internet. Will be available in Hot Pink and Coffee Brown.
