Posted on by Posted in regular Leave a comment

Today, it was Samsung’s turn to take the limelight at the annual IFA expo. IFA is the world’s larget show for consumer electronics and home appliances and Samsung had a press event where they announced some new products.  

Let’s start off with the camera announcements.  Samsung announced its new NX200. It has a 20.3 megapixel interchangeable lens and can shoot HD video at a resolution of 1920×1080 at 30 frames per second. Alonside the NX200, were two other cameras. They were the MV800 and the WB750 camera.    

Samsung will also be updating it’s smart TVs with 3D videos from YouTube. With the lack of available 3D content and the fact that you may need 3D glasses just to watch 3D TV, this should be welcome news. The smart TV will also have the ability to run Apps. perhaps we might see a Samsung smart TV that plays Angry Birds.

On the mobile computing side, Samsung announced the Galaxy Tab 7.7(which is a tablet computer) and the Note(a halfway house between the smartphone and the tablet). Last but not least was the the Wave 3

Samsung also introduced two new lines of the 7 series and 9 series laptops.    

Stay tuned for a full-length video of Samsung’s announcements.

The people over at the mobile phone network T-Mobile know that lots of people use their phones to play the hit game Angry Birds. As part of their advertising campaign entitled Life’s For Sharing, the people at T-mobile set up a real life version of Angry Birds in the spanish city of Barcelona.  The game is controlled via a Google Android mobile device that runs the game.  To see how it works, I have left a video below with the game in action.  


So there you have it. This proves that it is indeed possible to create a real life version of angry birds that works. It also brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “pop some pigs”.  So what do you think of this? let me know by leaving a note or posting an ask. As always, I am open to your comments.
