TV Shapes

We love to stare at shapes, some friends love to stare at the tube..maybe we can get together more often..get ready for the invasion of oddly shaped LCD TVs by Hannspree:

...Each sleek emporium will showcase sets designed to appeal to both adults and kids-- models are shaped like everything from flowerpots to fire trucks -- with prices
ranging from $400 to $1,200. "Chiao wanted to create a product lineup different from
any other LCDs," explains Michael Amkreutz, vice president for product marketing at
Hannspree. He says the company plans to spend nearly $100 million to break into the
U.S. market and hopes to eventually be carried by Amazon (AMZN) and Macy's. Already,
Hannspree has inked one distribution deal with Disney (DIS) and another with Major
League Baseball, which will peddle leather baseball-shaped TVs with red stitching
through its website and retail stores. It may be America's pastime, but the name,
finally, will be Taiwanese.
