Tivoli adds Bluetooth to its radios, shows new app and headphones

Being in the business of selling an AM/FM radio in 2012 is not a position many companies want to be in. Considering the myriad of digital radio options such as Last.fm, Pandora and Spotify that can be streamed from smartphones, tablets and PCs to any Bluetooth speaker, who is seriously going to drop any major cash on an old-fashioned analog radio?

This year, two of its most popular radios finally get Bluetooth upgrades, and the company enjoyed two firsts: a Tivoli Radio app with 100 stations and a pair of noise-canceling headphones that carry the brand's signature wood finishes.

From Smart TVs to Smart Touch Remotes to Smart Home appliances including a smartphone-controllable washer and dryer, Samsung's got the connected goods.

The only product that hasn't gone to school and come back enlightened is the camera. This year, Samsung's rolling out the smartness to all of its compact-system-cameras (better known as CSC or mirrorless cameras with lens systems). What that means is all of its flagship CSCs have built-in Wi-Fi and the ability and the ability to instantly share photos and videos to popular social networks. How well does the feature work? I went and found out for you.
