Today Yahoo! announced a brand new partnership with Toshiba to feature Yahoo! Connected TV on several models of Toshiba’s latest 46”-55” HDTVs, including the WX800 Cinema Series® 3D LED. With the addition of Toshiba, users can now enjoy Yahoo! Connected TV on TVs from Samsung, Sony, LG, VIZIO, and HiSense.
Starting this Spring Yahoo! Connected TV will be shipping on Vestel TVs in more than 40 countries across Europe! The Vestel Group of companies is a strong, leading player in European and global markets for consumer electronics, white-label goods and digital products accounting for 16% of the LCD TV market and 25% of the digital set-top-box market in Europe.
Electronics industry market research firm iSuppli recently published a report on Internet-enabled TVs (IETVs) that has some very exciting implications for the Yahoo! Connected TV platform. According to the report, 27.7 million IETVs will be shipped in 2010- a 125% increase from 2009! Shipments of IETVs will increase at double-digit rates until 2014 and at that time there will be more than 148.3 million units in market and will account for 54% of total flat panel TVs in market.
