VIZIO Internet App HDTVs launch later this year, for less than you might expect

Sure VIZIO only just showed off new updates in its high end XVT series, but it's already planning the next generation of LCDs with VIZIO Internet Apps included. Packing widget functionality, 802.11n wireless networking and slider QWERTY Bluetooth remote, the SV422XVT, SV472XVT and VF552XVT Connected HDTVs are coming home in November, October and December, respectively. Already on deck to serve up content for your widgets are Vudu, Revision3, Facebook, Twitter, Rhapsody, Blockbuster OnDemand, Showtime, Flickr and more. The biggest surprise? There's apparently no price premium planned for these features, with the 55-inch clocking in at the same $2,199 price as the model it's replacing, though the 47-inch jumps $200 over the previous edition to $1,699, while adding the local dimming LED backlit technology previously reserved for the 55-inch. The 42-inch will be the first and cheapest available at $1,199 -- we'll see if that bar is low enough to get viewers to jump into the internet-connected display future.

Twitter Revision3???

Revision3 is Kevin Rose's Internet tv network he started after he left Tech TV when Paul Allen sold it. He also started the popular website digg.com and he has a very popular video podcast called diggnation that's about his website. That's really cool. I wont need to hook up my pc to watch their stuff to the tv. Ill still have one hooked up for bluray and gaming but cool. Twitter is the new silly social networking micro blogging thing that you can tell all your friends what your up too during the day. Its like texting on a cell phone but through a website. I cant wait for the 55inch version of this tv to come out.

Vizio haters will still say it's a piece of junk. Too bad for them.
