Toshiba and 7Digital have extended their partnership. Previously, Toshiba and 7Digital were working on plans to launch a tablet music store, but now it seems they are extending their relationship and working on a browser based music and video store called Toshiba Places.
It is expected that Toshiba Places will be launching in the next few months. The store will allow anyone to buy and access content across PCs, tablets and connected TVs, with the service including apps and games too, as well as social features.
Toshiba has just launched the Toshiba Dynabook with a monochromatic top which changes colours when you look at it. Depending upon what angle you are looking at the laptop, this will change the colour accordingly.
The Toshiba Dynabook Qosmio has decent hardware inside too, in it includes a 2.66GHz processor using Intel Core i5-480M, 4GB of DDR3 memory RAM, and a 15.6-inch 1366 x 768 display that is LED backlit.
Two things that I can’t get enough of, retro technology coming back in a big way, and plenty of storage for all my digital data. Recently some of our favorite Nintendo NES titles are being given a new lease on life, but not as video games, or re-hashed HD titles on 3rd party systems, but as storage devices for our laptops and desktops.
The NES hard drives come a variety of sizes up to 1TB, now that’s a lot of storage. The NES cartridges come some some classic flavors such as Mario/Duckhunt, Metroid, Bionic Commando, Contra, Tetris, and Dr. Mario to name a few. The storage devices are built into the original casings for these games with game imagery and all. They feature a 2.5-inch Toshiba drive with USB interfaces.
NES hard drives range in price from $130 – $180, depending on the size. Their nondescript look will wow your friends who won’t expect the classics of yesterday to be used as storage devices today. As a fan of the old NES system seeing these cartridges again brings back memories of late night gaming and trading games with friends.
Laptops are becoming so 10 years ago, netbooks are becoming so 3 years ago, tablets are now becoming a dime a dozen. Not to say that any of the aforementioned devices have reached their peak or are going away anytime soon, but it seems in the race for innovation and style, the resurgence of tablet love has grown thanks to Apple’s iPad. The world seems to be on an iPad craze, but there are still many, even amongst the supporters, that wish it did more.
Perhaps Toshiba has created that “more” device in the recently announced Toshiba libretto W100. What looks like the bizzarre love child between a Nintendo DS and a netbook, the Toshiba libretto offers a dual touchscreen interface to create an experience unlike any other. The libretto sports two 7-inch touchscreens inside a 1.5lb laptop-like form. There is no traditional keyboard, rather, the device makes use of a virtual keyboard instead, Bluetooth 2.1, and a built in webcam.
The libretto also offers viewing in both the traditional landscape mode (think traditional netbook) and portrait mode providing a variety of unique viewing experiences depending on the type of content the user is viewing. The portability factor is a huge plus considering the iPad does not fold or close, this device becomes even more appealing once it’s closed as seen in the image below.
