ComScore Media Metrix confirmed that Amazon.com is indeed the most popular website for online shoppers in the entire world right now. The conclusion is based on comScore’s results on internet traffic for the month of June, 2011, which showed that out of the 1,383 million total users worldwide, Amazon was visited by more than 20% (20.4%) of them. The overwhelming number of 282 million hits have made Amazon the number one online shopping store while other top sites like eBay.com and Alibaba.com Corporation came second and third with 223 million hits (16.2%) and 156 million (11.3%) hits respectively.
It should also be noted that back in April, the Temkin Group had confirmed through a public survey that Amazon has the highest number of satisfied customers than any other site at the moment. It cemented what ForeSee Results had confirmed even earlier in December, 2010, when their survey indicated that Amazon, along with Apple was the preferred choice for most customers around the world. Before heading to Amazon.com to find the best deal on a television model of your choice, check out our reviews section for detailed reviews on top of the line 3D HDTVs like the LG LW9500, Sony XBR-HX929, Samsung LED D8000 and all the other latest television models.
In the year 2010, all the television manufacturers were big on promoting 3D HDTVs but this year will see the manufacturers focusing on a relatively new feature known as “Web TV”. The function of a web TV is to bring the TV and internet together with the aid of an Ethernet cable or wi-fi connection. The remote control unit acts as the mouse as well as the keyboard while you surf, video chat and socialize. You would in most cases, might also have a choice of separately buying compatible accessories like a wireless keyboard, a web camera or a USB dongle (if you do not have built-in wi-fi in your model). The latest HDTVs from the leading manufacturers also allow you to use your Google Android phone or the Apple iphone for controlling all the features on your TV, after the necessary apps are downloaded from the app store.
Be it the Panasonic Viera Connect, or the Smart TVs from Samsung and LG, most of them have the common features and applications like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Skype etc. Some of the best models that have the Web TV facilities now, include the Samsung LED D8000 and UND7000, Sony HX929, LG PZ950 and the Panasonic TC-PVT30. What will be interesting to see is how the different manufacturers improve the User Interfaces and incorporate the internet more into their latest models.
