In other Samsung news, the electronics giant showcased a number of new gadgets today, starting with the BD-C8000 portable Blu-ray player. Samsung boasts that it’s the “world’s first” of its kind as it also plays 3D discs.
The BD-C8000 has actually been out since July with the retail price of $499, but it’s had an extra introduction at a special event in New York. That’s a big price tag for a portable gadget, but the Samsung device has some quality specs, including:
- 1080p HD video playback
- 1GB of memory
- HDMI 1.4
- Wi-Fi
- 3-hour battery life
- DLNA support
However, that 10.1-inch display is 2D only, meaning that users have to hook up the BD-C8000 to a 3D-enabled screen.
