Toshiba AC100 Review

, Oct 21st 2010 Discuss [6]

Companion devices come in all shapes and sizes, from big-screen smartphones through tablets to netbooks and ultraportables, but Toshiba is hoping that by borrowing a little of each they’ll find a gap in the market. The Toshiba AC100 looks like a netbook but runs Android, an OS we’re more familiar with on smartphones or, more recently, tablets. The company reckons a traditional keyboard and NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 processor should make the AC100 the best multimedia, browsing and communication ultraportable around, but is Android being asked to do more than it’s currently capable of? Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Toshiba has outed its latest smartphone, and it's the second KDDI Android handset for the Japanese market that we've been envious of within the space of a month.  The Toshiba REGZA IS04 doesn't have the high-resolution display of the Sharp IS03 - it gets a 4-inch 854 x 480 touchscreen instead - but what it does have is a 12.19-megapixel autofocus camera.

Toshiba Planning on Bringing Tablets to US and Japan, Other Markets in 2011

, Oct 5th 2010 Discuss [0]

CEATEC is still going on in Japan, so announcements are still managing to trickle out of the event. This time around, it's Toshiba's turn to make an announcement about the tablet market, and how the company will be a part of it in the coming months. Despite the fact that the Folio 100 was just unveiled last month, Toshiba wanted to make it known that their present in the tablet market will be felt not only in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (where it's believed the Folio 100 will initially launch, and perhaps remain), but that they will be heading to the United States and Japan by the early months of 2011.

Toshiba AC100 Ubuntu hack gets video demo; Official build could be in works

, Oct 4th 2010 Discuss [3]

Friday's news that open-source tinkerers had managed to get Ubuntu 10.10 up and running on Toshiba's hitherto-Android AC100 smartbook raised a few eyebrows, but the usability of the hack was significantly scuppered by the fact it wouldn't load past the boot screen.  That's been ironed out over the weekend, and Carrypad now has video of the AC100 doing its Ubuntu thing.

Toshiba Halts OLED Production, Focuses on LCD Instead

, Oct 1st 2010 Discuss [0]

For the most part, Samsung has a pretty big stake in the OLED manufacturing market. Other companies, like HTC for example, have depended upon them to manufacture displays for their high-end smartphones, like the Droid Incredible for Verizon. But there are other manufacturers out there that take pride in OLED distribution, like Toshiba. However, that's all about to change, as the company believes that there is still more of a focus on LCD displays, and have opted to stop production of OLED, and focus on LCD. Read The Full Story

Toshiba AC100 dumps Android for Ubuntu 10.10, gets useful

, Oct 1st 2010 Discuss [3]

Toshiba's AC100 is certainly an interesting notebook on the face of it: Tegra 2 processor, full QWERTY and plenty of battery life, but the Android OS does mean it's definitely a companion device and not your sole ultraportable.  That could all change, however, now a hack for loading Ubuntu onto the AC100 has been developed; Carrypad pulled together the instructions and files from tosh-ac100.wetpaint.org, ac100.gudinna.com and the official Toshiba forums and managed to get his AC100 up and running with Ubuntu 10.10.

, Sep 27th 2010 Discuss [0]
