If you're one who can't be without TV or connectivity to the net even for a second, Samsung has its Smart Zipel refrigerator for you that wears a 10.4-inch wireless LCD screen on its chest like a badge of honor. The 4x3 flat panel display lets you connect to anything remotely multimediaish such as video or the Web.
Come to think of it, Internet access might be convenient if you need to display a recipe you've found on the Web while you're busy preparing it in the kitchen. Details are sketchy at this point with no pricing or availability information forthcoming, but the refrigerator looks like a fairly high-end unit, capable of holding 26.6 cubic feet of groceries.

The only new technology I'm looking for out of a refrigerator is smart inventory management. Give me a refrig with a bar code scanner so I can scan things in and out with a timestamp. Then I can run reports on the touchscreen for what is in there and for how long. I can also be connected to the internet to look up recipes and such but then also be able to send email/sms, etc alerts when a food item or drink needs replacing. Or I can mark specific food/drink that I car about receiving alerts on. Like I want to know when we are out of milk but I'll figure out for myself when we are out of the red bull. The technology can be made easier once rfid gets on everything sold in supermarkets.
Ok, Samsung. We get it. You guys make lots of products and know a lot of women.
But does it have USB?
