Samsung WiFi Enabled Refrigerator

We’ve seen treadmills with Android tablets built-in and  portable Blu-Ray players designed for your cars but does technology really need to invade every aspect of modern life?  Apparently Samsung thinks so.  The company that’s famous (or infamous) for its cell phones is launching a new WiFi enabled refrigerator—yes, the kitchen fridge now gets the Internet—just in case your weren’t plugged in enough.

The new RF4289 features an 8 inch LCD touchscreen that lets users use apps like Pandora Internet radio, Twitter, and even Epicurious to enhance their kitchen experience.  You can also download recipes right to the fridge and even leave notes for friends and family so you don’t have to worry about cluttering up your stainless steel unit with horribly adorable magnets and post-its.

As of yet, there’s no word on any sort of controls or food-related wizardry on the little screen (other than the recipes of course) but this machine is in production right now and scheduled to land in Canada sometime this spring.

Pricing is still up in the air though, but it sure does put those refers with the TV in the door to shame.  Though I can foresee a future of greasy fingerprints all over that LCD.
