Toshiba shocked the gadget world today with the surprise announcement of a stunning 4.1-inch touchscreen smartphone, called the TG01. The handset looks to go head-to-head with Apple’s iPhone and HTC’s Touch HD and is the first gadget to incorporate Qualcomm’s 1GHz Snapdragon QSD2850 processor. Thursday, 18 December 2008
Toshiba have today announced a new line of flash-based 2.5-inch notebook SSDs that mark an industry first with a top storage capacity of 512GB. The drives are based on 43 nanometer Multi-Level Cell NAND and will be displayed at the upcoming CES 2009 in January. Thursday, 9 October 2008
Toshiba today released four new laptops, the most notable being their Portégé R600, which the company claims is the world’s lightest. The new model manages to undercut the MacBook Air by 0.6lbs, (which is even better than Samsung’s recent X360) despite being a fully-featured notebook equipped with an impressive 9-hour battery, a multi-format DVD writer and a fingerprint reader.

Toshiba today announced a new world first for 1.8-inch drives with their MK2529GSG model which holds an impressive 250GB. The 5,400rpm drive uses a SATA interface with a 3Gbps data transfer rate, has a seek time of just 15ms and is a mere 8mm (0.31-inch) thin, making it ideal for ultra-portable laptops and portable media players.

Toshiba has just announced their new dual-platter 160GB 1.8-inch SATA disk which spins at 5400RPM – a world first. The interface speed has been increased to 1.5Gbps, internal maximum data transfer rate is up 17% and power consumption shows a 25% improvement over Toshiba’s current 120GB model. The drive is also lighter at only 60g. The growth in sub-notebook demand has increased competition in 1.8-inch HDDs with consumers expecting the same level of storage and performance as bigger notebooks or even desktops. The drive is still too big, however, to fit in ultra-thin laptops like Apple’s MacBook Air or Voodoo’s Envy 133. The drive will enter production in August. Source: Wednesday, 14 May 2008
They are looking to reach 5.7 percent market share which means an additional 11 million units must be sold worldwide by 2011. This would seem impossible when you look at the figures – market share worldwide for Samsung has only grown from 1.2 percent in 2005 to 1.7 percent in 2007. Sony is Samsung’s nearest competitor with 6 percent market share and is the one they must overtake in order to stay afloat. Other competitors are well ahead with Toshiba at 10 percent, Dell at 14 percent, Acer at 16 percent and Hewlett-Packard at 23 percent. There is some amusing irony to this story. Even if Samsung does cease their laptop operations, they’ll still be in the business, supplying Sony with many of the components in their laptops including the LCD panels. | SUBSCRIBE:  Stay up to date!
