I’ve got some bad news for you early adopter folks. If you purchased a 3DTV recently in hopes to revel in everything Pandora has to offer in the comfort of your own living room, this won’t be happening until 2012. Earlier this month Panasonic became the exclusive seller of Avatar 3D on Blu-ray; if you want a 3D copy of the flick you must purchase a Panny VIERA 3DTV. The exclusive deal was expected to end sometime next year, but the electronics manufacturer has confirmed that the deal will run through February 2012. Happy bidding!

You can get Avatar in 3D on Blu-ray …if you buy a Panasonic 3DTV

There have been so many versions of Avatar released into the market it’s hard to count them all. But this latest edition is especially sweet. Why? Because it includes the 3D version of the highest grossing flick! The only way to get it (for now) is to purchase a Panasonic VIERA 3DTV. When you pick up a Panny set you can also get the “Panasonic 3D Full HD Ultimate Pack” which includes Avatar in 3D on Blu-ray and two pairs of rechargeable Panasonic 3D glasses. If you happen to have purchased a VIERA 3DTV between between March 10 and November 30 you are eligible to receive a copy of Avatar in 3D via a mail-in request program (hope you saved the receipt!). So if you’re in the market for a new HDTV, you should definitely consider a VIERA 3D set because you will be able to watch Avatar on it the way it was meant to be seen. Expect the Panasonic-Avatar in 3D exclusivity to end and a standalone release in 2011. Full PR after the break.

Panasonic Fusion in-flight entertainment system

The Panasonic Fusion is what we all hope “the future of economy class seating and in-flight entertainment” to be. Panasonic has integrated a tablet-like screen into the back of an airline seat. With its supurb industrial design, the Fusion’s main goal is to give OEMs the ability to create their own user interfaces. As shown in the video above, such UIs could include Facebook and Twitter integration, along with TV and movie watching. If this in fact the future of airline seating, I will have to start travelling more often! Except to see the Panasonic Fusion being installed in various airlines by November 2010.
