There's no denying that companies all over the place are jumping onto the 3D bandwagon. Obviously someone, somewhere up on the corporate food chain in all of these manufacturers believe that 3D is the way to go. And, as long as that means we don't have to pay a hefty price tag at the theaters every time we want to enjoy some 3D goodness, we can see where they're coming from. (Of course, 3D in the home is still pretty expensive too.) With that being said, Toshiba is making another push into the 3D Blu-ray market today, with the announcement that the BDX3100KB 3D Blu-ray player will be released later this year.

Toshiba Camileo S30 & P20 Unveiled, 1080p Recording in One Hand
Having a camera small enough to hold in one hand comfortably, but pack enough recording power to make it worth your while isn't a new feat, but it is indeed something that we still look forward to. Not that there's plenty of options out there, mind you. But, when something like the Camileo S30 and P20 break cover, and look as attractive as they do, we can't help but get excited about the future of our 1080p recording endeavors.

Toshiba Folio 100 hands-on [Video]
Toshiba launched their Folio 100 smartpad earlier this week, and we grabbed some hands-on time with the Android 2.2 Froyo table at IFA 2010 today. The second significant Android slate of the day – after we played with the smaller Samsung Galaxy Tab earlier on – it’s a bigger beast too, with a 10-inch capacitive touchscreen (with 4-point multitouch) and NVIDIA’s Tegra 2 chipset like its AC100 sibling. The good news is that it’s a reasonably decent slate; the bad is that it looks like it won’t be reaching the US.
Toshiba Folio 100 Smart Pad packs Tegra 2 & Android 2.2
Toshiba's 10-inch Android "Smart Pad" slate has been revealed and named, with the Tegra 2 based tablet believed to be the Toshiba Folio 100. It'll pack a 10.1-inch 1024 x 600 multitouch display, according to NotebookItalia, along with Android 2.2, 16GB of internal storage, WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth and 3G.

Toshiba AC100 Tegra 2 benchmarks tip the performance we’ve been waiting for
With the Toshiba AC100 out in the wild, it's now possible to see just how well NVIDIA's second-gen Tegra chipset performs in comparison to other Android hardware. According to Carrypad's testing, the answer is "pretty darn impressive"; they've run Quadrant on the AC100 (an Android app that measures various aspects of processor, memory, I/O and 2D/3D graphics and combines them into a single score) and the netbook managed 1,911. In contrast, a Google Nexus One running Android 2.2 scored 1,390.

Toshiba AC100 gets played with: hardware good, Android lacking [Video]
Having been spotted in-stock and up for sale in Europe yesterday, the Toshiba AC100 has now made an appearance in Taipei. Netbooknews got the Japanese version - launching there as the Dynabook AZ - and have mixed impressions; as reviewers found with the HP Compaq Airlife 100, Android simply isn't really ready for netbook-style implementations.

Toshiba AC100 Tegra 2 MID/smartbook sneaks on sale?
Toshiba's AC100 MID has apparently gone on sale, with at least one German retailer claiming to have (limited) stocks of the 10.1-inch Tegra 2 based Android smartbook. The unit itself - packing an 8GB SSD, 512MB of RAM and running the Android 2.1 OS - lacks the 3G modem some Ac100s will have, meaning you're stuck using WiFi b/g/n or Bluetooth.

Toshiba to launch 3D TV needing no glasses this year
Certainly one of the biggest things that is preventing the adoption of 3D TVs by many consumers is the fact that you need glasses to view the 3D content. The glasses most sets need are the active types that are ugly, uncomfortable, and expensive.

Forrester: iPad’s Success Means More Tablet Competitors
In a new report from Forrester, we've got some pretty common sense revelations. The new report from Sarah Rotman Epps, suggests that while the iPad is wildly successful, that also means that plenty of new competitors are on the way. What's more, most of those competitors are trying to jump on Apple's success of the word "pad," and infusing it with their own tablet titles. We've all heard of the BlackPad, after all -- and Forrester believes there will be plenty more in the future.

Toshiba SmartPad tablet previewed in leaked press shots
Images apparently showing Toshiba's upcoming SmartPad tablet have leaked ahead of the slate's official debut. The shots, caught by NotebookItalia, show a similar design to that barely glimpsed back in July, and will likely earn the SmartPad (as the slate is tipped to be called) much comparison to the iPad. According to earlier leaks, the Toshiba tablet will run Android on an NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, with a 10-inch touchscreen display.

Toshiba Libretto W100: build good, battery bad, geek-cred off the chart [Video]
Toshiba's Libretto W100 flew off Amazon's shelves when it went on sale earlier this week, with the retailer already confirming that its initial stock is exhausted. So, how exactly are the first customers liking the dual-touchscreen clamshell? Jenn over at Pocketables knows her stuff when it comes to ultraportables, and she seems pretty blown away by the W100 - that's despite only 4hrs runtime with the bloated extended battery, laggy screen rotation and an uncertain target market.
