Strategic Sharing: Zipcar Leads $13.7M Investment In Campus Car-Sharing Startup Wheelz
February 22, 2012 – 8:25 am | No Comment

Well, you have to hand it to the strategy team over at Zipcar . Arguably the largest on-demand car-sharing network, Zipcar went public last year and not long after saw its market cap cross $1 billion . It’s since fallen back, and with collaborative consumption and the market for car-sharing heating up, the big players have to make moves. Zipcar has since forged a partnership with Ford, making it the largest provider of cars for Zipcar’s University program , and, in December, the company took a controlling stake in Spain’s largest car-sharing network, Avancar . Today finds Zipcar making another strategic move to get its mitts in fellow car-sharing companies, again with a focus on universities, whose students are among the most eager adopters of car-sharing models. What do I mean? The company today announced that it is a lead investor in the $13.7 million series A financing of Wheelz , a junior, university-focused version of itself.

Toshiba Excite 13 redefines tablet size Toshiba has just officially announced its new tablet line-up featuring several models, including the Toshiba Excite 13, an amazing 13.3″ tablet powered by the quad-core Tegra 3 chip from NVIDIA. I’ve played with the Excite 13, and I can tell you that it is obviously the most interesting one, not only because a thin 13.3″ (1600
Toshiba mystifies tablet-buying world with LT170 ‘budget’ 7-incher
March 21, 2012 – 8:50 am | No Comment
Toshiba mystifies tablet-buying world with LT170 ‘budget’ 7-incher We'll be the first to admit that we don't understand Toshiba's tablet intentions. There are plenty of tantalizing prototypes and an abundance of confusingly branded models, but there's no overarching reason to pay much attention. The LT170 is a case in point: it's nominally a budget Android device, with a Freescale 1GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM and 8GB internal storage, but by now the €299 ($400) asking price could pick up something far, ...

Toshiba Japan Dates And Prices Its 55-Inch Naked-Eye 3D TV With 4K Resolution Do you remember that 55-inch monster of a naked-eye 3D TV Toshiba unveiled back in October ? The company now announced [JP] a date (December 10) and confirmed the final price (US$11,700) for the device. But there’s a drawback: Toshiba has still to decide if they will release the TV outside Japan, too. To recap, the TV features 3,840×2,160 pixels resolution in 2D mode (that’s four times the resolution of full HD) and a solid 1,280×720 resolution in 3D mode. Users are not required to use glasses, ...

September 1, 2011 – 10:47 am | No Comment
Toshiba announces Camileo Clip, X200 and X400 camcorders Not surprisingly, Toshiba is covering all the bases at IFA today, with it now also announcing its latest batch of camcorders. That includes the Camileo Clip pictured above (which actually has a clip 'round back for hands-free shooting), as well as the more traditional Camileo X200 and X400, all three of which record 1080p video and rely exclusively on SD cards for storage. The X200 and X400 also, of course, steps things up quite a bit in terms of features, the standout ones being ...

Toshiba’s tablet-ready, glasses-free 3D display debuts at SID 2011 (video) The T-Mobile G-Slate may have a jump on the (red and cyan) 3D tablet market, but we can do better, and while strolling past Toshiba's SID 2011 setup, we may have found the slate of the future's killer component: an 8-inch, glasses-free 3D display. Tablet sized? Yes, indeed. We couldn't get a Toshiba representative to admit the depth perceptive display was destined for any upcoming devices, but we were told that the screen certainly "made sense" for a ...

Toshiba’s So Committed to Creating iPhone’s LCD Screens, It’s Building a New Factory For Them [Apple]
December 14, 2010 – 3:23 am | No Comment
Toshiba's apparently investing $1.19 billion building a Japanese factory devoted entirely to making iPhone LCDs. Work on the factory will commence later next year, so if Toshiba gets the contract for iPhone 5 screens, they'll have to be made elsewhere. The Nikkei reported the news today, and while Toshiba's spokesperson has denied they're building a new factory just for Apple's screens, it's said that Apple will actually contribute towards the building of the factory. Presumably they'll be making ...
