Toshiba’s Camileo and much more
After news of its Android-running Folio 100 tablet, Toshiba wowed us with more tech news including its latest Camileo pocketcam, 3D laptops and TVs.
First up, the Camileo S30 and P20 pocketcams. Both sport a 3in LCD touchscreen, Full HD 1080p video recording, HDMI output and video stabilisation. The 8MP S30 is due out in January for around US$215, while the 5MP P20 will be available come October for US$185.
In laptop land, there are some 3D updates. The Satellite A665 is getting 3D Blu-ray support. It will also offer dimensional upscaling, using the Toshiba Video Player 3D to convert 2D sources to 3D. Magic is probably involved. Current owners of the A665 with 15.6in TruBrite HD display won’t miss out, as they can upgrade with a new firmware download.
On the TV side the news is that Toshiba is launching its first 3D TVs – the Regza WL768 series. It uses active shutter glasses and is fully set up for hooking into your home network with WiFi onboard, so YouTube and iPlayer close to hand. The 7,000,000:1 contrast ratio and 200Hz refresh rate promise impressive visual performance, while the 3D Resolution+ Intelligent 3D mode promises to add another dimension to your 2D content – again using some kind of witchcraft, we presume.
On top of all that, it was designed in collaboration with the Jacob Jensen Design studio, so it looks pretty classy too.
And to go with that Regza TV is the Toshiba StorE TV+. It’s an HDMI-connected hard disk with WiFi and support for a number of video and audio formats. Packing in up to 2TB of media content to navigate with its remote control, it also has a three-in-one card reader for quickly showing your holiday snaps on your TV. It’s out this month for US$310
