This week the folks at Google have successfully teamed up with ASUS and Toshiba to make the number of top-tier manufacturers working with Chrome OS reach a cool six. New products announced this week with Intel’s 4th Generation Haswell processor technology (so far) include a new ASUS Chromebox, an unnamed Toshiba Chromebook, HP Chromebook14, and […]
Quantum cryptography is crack-proof by its nature — you can’t inspect data without changing it — but the available technology is currently limited to one-on-one connections. Toshiba has developed a quantum access networking system that could bring this airtight security to groups as large as 64 people. The approach gives each client a (relatively) basic quantum transmitter, and routes encrypted data through a central, high-speed photon detector that returns decryption keys. Such a network would not only secure entire workgroups, but lower the cost of encrypting each user. Quantum access networks won’t be useful across internet-scale distances until researchers improve the signal integrity, but there may be a time when surveillance agencies will run out of potential targets.

Touchscreens and Windows 8 go together, Microsoft keeps insisting, and it looks like at least Toshiba is listening: the company has a pair of new notebooks, the Satellite W30t and “Click” W30Dt, with detachable screen sections for standalone slate use. Running Windows 8.1 on a 13.3-inch HD IPS touchscreen with 10-finger multitouch, the Satellite W30t […]
Toshiba has just announced their Satellite Click detachable PC which is said to offer the convenience of a tablet as well as laptop, depending on the situation and how you use the Satellite Click at that point in time. The new detachable design would feature a 13.3-inch diagonal IPS multi-touch screen which is capable of making up two different form factors in a single device, namely the ‘normal’ laptop and a tablet. Underneath the hood, you will find an AMD A4 Accelerated Processing Unit alongside AMD Radeon 8000 graphics, where other hardware specifications include a 500GB hard drive that has been included in the removable tablet, and a dual battery design to get it going.
Windows 8.1 will be the operating system of choice, where the removable 13.3” diagonal touchscreen
tablet is capable of locking and unlocking from the hinge, letting you enjoy a seamless transition between laptop and tablet modes. It will also come with 4GB RAM, feature a built-in webcam, micro USB 2.0 and HDMI ports, a microSD memory card slot, an accelerometer and gyroscope sensors, while its dual-battery set-up is capable of supporting both DC-in on both the keyboard base and on the screen so that you can use either mode in a jiffy. There is no word on pricing, but we do know the Satellite Click will be available from this month onwards as a Best Buy exclusive.

We’re guessing that a few companies have been eyeing GoPro’s position at the top of the action-cam market with envy. That’s why Toshiba is launching the Camileo X-Sports, a boxy action camera that strongly takes after that aforementioned leading brand. The small, 94-gram (3.3-ounce) unit comes with a 2-inch LCD display, a 12-megapixel CMOS sensor and the ability to shoot 60fps video. There’s a 10x digital zoom paired with an ultra-wide angle lens, micro-USB and mini-HDMI ports and the battery promises to last 1.5 hours when shooting 60fps and over two hours at 30fps. It’ll also connect directly over 802.11 b/g/n WiFi to a nearby smartphone or tablet, so you can use the larger device as a viewfinder for your more arty powder shredding montages. The retail package will also come with a bundled waterproof casing, wristband remote control as well as several mounts, and will be available in Europe before Christmas for €250 ($330). %Gallery-slideshow79648%

If you want an 84-inch 4K TV, you’ve really gotta be a one-percenter, but fortunately for the rest of us that’s not a very big market. That’s why it’s high time that companies started to trim those ultra high-definition panels down to a size and price point that’s suitable for the everyman. It’s Toshiba, therefore, that’s leading the charge to affordability with a concept 50-inch 4K TV. The M9/L9 Series Concept is currently just that, but it combines the usual breathtaking imagery with a more apartment-friendly size. Naturally, there aren’t currently any plans to bring this to market, but hey, the company will happily sell you a 58-inch model for £3,000.%Gallery-slideshow79649%

Toshiba’s foray into the tablet market is not that markedly successful in comparison to other players in the same industry, but perhaps with the introduction of the Toshiba Encore, their fortunes might change for the better?

Despite sporting an 8” display, you can still hold it in one hand, and the 1280 x 800 resolution display ought to offer you an above average viewing experience, with the entire device encased in a stylish silver textured backplate, measuring a mere 0.42” thin while tipping the scales at 479 grams.
Other hardware specifications include 32GB of internal memory, a micro USB 2.0 port, a microSD memory card slot for expansion purposes, and Wi-Fi connectivity. Expect it to arrive later this November for $329.99 a pop. Enjoy the photo gallery right after the jump.
