Ceton Delays Quad-Tuner
Due to issues with the new technology Ceton has decided to delay the Quad-Tuner. Now expected to ship by May 31, 2010, along with the change in shipping date the device has been renamed to InfiniTV 4. I am still extremely excited and cant wait to play with the device. Hopefully it will be a better experience than that of the ATI TV Wonder Tuner.
The Ceton InfiniTV 4 quad-tuner card is now available for pre-order! Click here to get your order in now and make sure you get one of the first production units when they become available. -ceton

Sony shows off there OLED 3D at CES 2010. From what we’ve come across on the web the HDTV looks great. Thin and futuristic, this is a 24.5 OLED TV set, which Engadget says
we have to admit to being blown away once more by the sheer vibrancy and clarity of the output
We cant forget that its also sporting 3D support. A definitely cool emerging technology that will be seeing more in newer HDTV models. Will be waiting for them to become more affordable. No expected release date has been established.
