3D is best served on a large plate, which is why Samsung's latest HDTV got us all dribbling over our TV munchies. This 75-inch platter, dubbed D9500, has stolen the short-lived crown off LG's 72-inch LZ9700 to become the world's largest LED-backlit 3D LCD HDTV, and obviously Samsung's still staying faithful to its active shutter 3D technology following its recent price drop on its glasses. The 240Hz display will also come with the usual Smart TV features, garnished by a QWERTY flip remote for your web-browsing and SNS needs on that large screen. Oddly enough, only an ex-factory price of a whooping ₩19,000,000 ($17,600) is quoted here, so customers will have to pay a bit more than that during the pre-sales at the end of the month. Alternatively, you can hold off your shopping spree until Samsung pushes out its 70-inch "Ultra Definition" 3DTV.

Available for the iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, and even non-smartphones, GroupMe is the Swiss Army knife of group texting and communication apps. Download the app, sign up for an account, and enjoy the ability to send texts to and start conference calls with multiple people in your contacts, or even from Twitter and Facebook. Plus, you can add your location or photos to any message you send. Plus, it's free.
Recently acquired by Facebook, Beluga offers free, dead simple group text messages to iPhone and Android users. Create your group from people you know, keep them completely private, and share your location and photos with them or just send them all a note to coordinate them as a group. Plus, you can send messages to your group from the Web if you don't feel like using your phone.
WhatsApp brings multimedia messaging to the mix, and allows you to send audio and video messages to your friends as well as texts and photos. Plus, the app supports international messages without charge. WhatsApp is available for iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, and select Nokia S60 and Symbian devices. iPhone users buy the client for $0.99 and pay once. Everyone else pays $1.99/year to subscribe.
Sometimes you don't need a fancy app to do what one of your favorite apps already does. A number of you reminded us that Google Voice allows you to send a text to up to five people at the same time, and that works just fine, thank you. Google Voice doesn't offer conversations (each response text is just to you and is a separate message) or location and media sharing, but for many of you, it gets the job done.
Blackberry Messenger is probably the original group texting app. It supports multimedia messages, like photos and videos, and works with your existing contacts. You're not restricted by character length, and you don't have to pay text messaging fees to use it. You don't get the benefit of conversations, but you can send the same message to multiple people. You can only use BlackBerry Messenger with a BlackBerry device right now, and the environment is still a closed one, but rumor has it that may change soon.
