The Real Problem With 3DTV: There's Nothing To Watch... Yet The world may not, but according to Panasonic, Japan certainly does. The company’s new SR-SX2 is about as fancy as rice cookers get, since it includes wireless RFID hardware letting it be programmed and configured using an Android smartphone.
Mobile World Congress is imminent, and the rumour mills are pointing at a source that you normally wouldn’t associate heavily with the world of smartphones and tablets. Panasonic, so the scuttlebutt goes, is set to announce phones and possibly tablets in Barcelona next week.

Sure, you can spend $US6,000 (or more) for a top-of-the-line HDTV with more bells and whistles than you can shake a remote at. But if you’re on a budget, Panasonic’s newest line of plasma HDTV’s offer top-flight features for bargain-bin prices.
