It seems that inter­net enabled fridges are get­ting to be quite com­mon! LG Appli­ances have just brought one out, the won­der­fully named LRSPC2661T. This fol­lows the two Dae­woo mod­els, the FR-631ND and FR-710ND, released earlier this year. Sam­sung are releas­ing their Digital Net­work Refri­ger­ator soon.

They all seem to have web brows­ing, email, some sort of mon­it­or­ing of the fridge con­tents, etc. The LG also has TV, MP3, radio, a photo album, and a built in digital cam­era. The Sam­sung will have TV, Video­phone, and the dis­play can be removed and used remotely from the fridge.

Inter­est­ingly the Dae­woo site is the only one which goes into great detail about its refri­ger­a­tion cap­ab­il­it­ies; ‘3D cool­ing’ no less! The oth­ers barely men­tion that they are fridges. One thing they all have in com­mon is that they are huge US-style monsters.

I don’t sup­pose the setup at my house; PC in the kit­chen between the fridge and the freezer is in the same league as these though.

This story should really be in Geek stuff but Cool stuff seemed more appro­pri­ate
