Toshiba Encore

Encore is Toshiba's take on this.

Toshiba Encore will ship with Windows 8.1 making Windows desktop apps run on this tablet too.

Toshiba Encore: Performance

Demo units of Toshiba Encore during the IFA 2013 were a bit laggy due to driver issues. Toshiba Encore also offers 32GB of free internal storage with a microSD slot that can accommodate 32GB of additional storage space.

Toshiba Encore: Design, Display and Camera

Since Toshiba Encore is at the same target market as the iPad Mini, it should match the later in sexiness. On the positive side, Toshiba Encore has a better display than Acer Iconia W3. Toshiba also managed to fit an 8 Megapixel camera to the Encore.

Toshiba Encore: Network and Connectivity Features

Toshiba Encore is a WiFi only tablet but will surely come with free storage on SkyDrive.

Of course, there's GPS, Bluetooth, a microUSB port and 3.5mm audio jack.

8GB Toshiba FlashAir goes WiFi

Toshiba has just announced a tiny little 8GB SDHC card that actually runs its own wireless hotspot — the Toshiba FlashAir.

Yes, now you can browse and transfer files from the SD card to you laptop or PC (and vice-versa) without even pulling it out of the camera.

The card supports WiFi 802.11 b/g/n protocols and has a capacity of 8GB (Class 6). The FlashAir doesn’t have its own power so it draws it from the device it is attached to.

This is not the first time we’ve seen an WiFi-enabled SD card. A couple of years ago, Eye-Fi was also introduced.

Toshiba Philippines to open local office this August

Just talked to a couple of folks who have close relationship with Toshiba that the company will be opening a local office in the Philippines by August this year.

Currently, Tricom is the one that’s representing Toshiba in the Philippines (they’re the ones that handle local product launches and send out review units). We always have to refer to Toshiba Singapore when it involves corporate communications.

Now that they are opening a local office, we should be seeing more presence of Toshiba products as well as better support from the company.

For one, expect the Toshiba Thrive tablet to land in the Philippines real soon (we’re expecting to get our hands on one very soon).
