As CES approaches, vendors give glimpses of 2009 gadgets

NEW YORK, NY (BetaNews) - Although vendors at a ShowStoppers press event this week focused mainly on demoing electronically oriented gifts for the 2008 holiday season, a few also gave sneak peeks of new products targeted for release at the start of next year
Actually, the electric bike demo gave more than just a peek. Set on a platform raised several feet off the floor, the highly visible, Toshiba-powered Schwinn Tailwind is a so-called "hybrid," meaning it can be ridden in either conventional or motor-assist mode.
While Schwinn already sells a line-up of six other e-bikes, the Tailwind will be the first to use Toshiba's new lithium-ion phosphate batteries, a technology also envisioned by Toshiba for use in powering cars and cell phones, said a Schwinn engineer, speaking with BetaNews at the event.

With these new batteries, the bike can be charged in 30 minutes if you plug it into an electrical outlet, instead of the four hours or more that recharging takes for existing e-bikes. If you use a commercial charger, recharging the Tailwind can reportedly be done in as little as five to seven minutes.
On each recharge, you can ride about 25 to 30 miles, depending on factors such as temperature or terrain. Toshiba's new batteries also have safety benefits over earlier lithium-ion cobalt batteries, since they generate a lot less heat, according to the engineer.
Schwinn expects to start shipping the Tailwind in January in the US and some countries in Europe, at a price of about $3,200. Despite the four-digit price tag, Schwinn and other manufacturers sold about 20.8 million e-bikes worldwide in 2008, according to a document called the Electric Bikes Worldwide Report, 2008 Update.
Elsewhere at the show, Giant International has now started shipping the InTouch, a "wireless Internet frame" that does double duty as a Wi-Fi-capable Web access device and audio-enabled photo/video frame.
Priced at $349.99, the gadget contains a 7-inch touch TFT LCD display with 800-by-400 resolution, along with 128 MB of internal memory, built-in stereo speakers, a CD-ROM drive, and a USB port. It also accommodates SD, CF, MS, MMC, and XD-Picture cards. A power adapter is included, but the frame will also run on rechargeable batteries for about 90 minutes, said Thomas W. Silveria, Giant's sales director for new products.
The main menu contains icons for photo, media, tools, and RSS news feeds. The feeds can be set up with the use on an on-screen QWERTY keyboard. Giant also holds deals with vTuner for Internet radio and Web video access, and with FrameChannel for end user tools for managing content from Picasa, Flickr, Webshots, Facebook, and other Web sites.
Giant previously manufactured products such as Motorola two-way pagers. Silveria told BetaNews that now, though, the company is changing its business model to produce its own consumer electronics devices.
Also in its booth, Giant showed prototypes of a couple of new products expected to roll out at the CES show in January. Silveria wasn't able to elaborate much because plans are still being finalized. But Giant's upcoming products include a system which adds phone functionality to the existing frame, plus a wireless gadget aimed at teens, known internally as "The Block" (and shaped accordingly). Other vendors at ShowStoppers also pointed to product releases at CES 2009, but with fewer details. "We're in the usual lull [between holiday and CES announcements], but we will be showing new products at CES," confirmed a spokesperson for GPS vendor Nextar.
A spokesperson for Autonet Mobile said that her company will introduce new features at CES for its in-vehicle Wi-Fi systems. These systems, which combine in-car Wi-Fi with EV-DO cellular hand-off, are available in cars that can be rented through some Avis outlets and purchased through dealerships for Chrysler and other auto makers.

Toshiba’s Dynario Fuel-Cell, the Future is NOW

Well next week actually, but WOW!!! Finally someone has the courage and give us, ultra hardcore geeks, the chance to play with fuel cell technology for real! Limited to only 3000 units and sold at 298,000 Yen (and 3,150 Yen for each fuel cartridge), the Dynaro allows you to recharge. “any” mobile device on the go and in the most elegant and hyped way possible…
To Toshiba engineers and folks working there… Congrats and well done!

TOKYO—Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO: 6502), a world leader in the development of fuel-cell technology for handheld electronic equipment, today announced the launch of its first direct methanol fuel-cell product: Dynario, an external power source that delivers power to mobile digital consumer products. Dynario, together with a dedicated fuel cartridge for refueling on the go, will be launched in Japan, in a limited edition of 3,000 units only, and will be exclusively available at Shop1048 (http://shop1048.jp/), Toshiba’s direct-order web site for digital consumer products in the Japanese market. Orders will be accepted from October 22, and shipping will start on October 29.
The power consumption of mobile electronic devices, including mobile phones, has greatly increased with added functionality, including TV reception and Internet connectivity. As a result, battery exhaustion has become a major concern. Dynario’s DMFC delivers almost instant refueling that untethers electrical equipment from AC adapters and power outlets. It runs on mix of methanol and ambient oxygen, and the chemical reaction between the two in the fuel cell produces electricity.
Toshiba recognizes the DMFC as a high potential solution for portable equipment and is promoting intensive technology and product development, including improved practical use and downsizing.
The palm-sized Dynario is Toshiba’s first DMFC product. Once fueled with an injection of methanol solution from its dedicated cartridge, Dynario starts to generate electricity that is delivered to a digital consumer product—a mobile phone or a digital media player—via a USB cable. On a single refill of methanol which can be made in an instant period (around 20 seconds), Dynario™ can generate enough power to charge two typical mobile phones.
Dynario integrates Toshiba’s state-of-the-art fuel cell technology, allowing it to operate with only a small volume of concentrated methanol solution, reducing the size and weight of the fuel tank and the overall product. An ingenious fuel feed structure realizes uniform methanol delivery, and stable output to any attached device is fine-tuned by a built-in microcomputer. Performance is also optimized by Dynario’s hybrid structure, which uses a lithium-ion battery charged by the fuel cell to store electricity. The dedicated fuel cartridge was co-developed with Toyo Seikan Kaisha, Ltd., one of Japan’s leading packaging container companies

Two-screen Tablet Mintpass under Android and Windows 7

Despite the fact that 7-inch Android tablet, Mintpass mentioned another company in 2009 and came into existence, it seems to already be successor. According to CNET Asia, the Korean company is working on a Tablet PC with two screens – actually, novelty will be executed in the same form factor as the famous Toshiba libretto is W100. However, it's one important difference is the ability to boot into Windows 7 and Android.The new Tablet slated for the first half of 2011.

As in the libretto is W100, Mintpass screens can function as independently or in tandem. Each display is touch-sensitive;In addition, each might display a keyboard. Users also have the possibility to open Mintpass different applications on different screens or stretch them on both displays.

Mintpass Representatives claim that the novelty will apply its own system of touch-sensitive controls, known as "space Touch". In addition, the new Tablet is supposedly going to apply for certification of the Android Market.So far not yet clear how the processor will be the novelty of the year, but there is a version that will be two: ARM for Android and x 86 for Windows 7.

Toshiba To Sell Glasses-Free 3D REGZA TV In December

The rumors we blogged about in August proved to be true: Toshiba has been working on the development of a glasses-free 3D TV, and they are ready to sell it as early as December this year (in Japan, at least). The company today announced [JP] there will be two versions of the so-called “Glass-less REGZA 3D TV”, the 20-inch 20GL1 and the 12-inch 12GL1.
The 20-inch LCD will feature a resolution of 1,280×720 (both for 2D and 3D images). It also comes with a special version of Toshiba’s Cell processor (which is a key element in the PS3, for instance) and has LED backlight. Buyers can expect an HDMI interface, a USB port, LAN, and REGZA Link.
The 12-inch model is considerably weaker, featuring 466×350 resolution and no CELL engine. It also comes with LED backlight, an HDMI interface, a USB port, LAN, and REGZA Link. What’s special about it is the SD card slot (for viewing JPEGs and AVCHD files) and the possibility to view 1Seg programs on it (1Seg is Japan’s digital mobile TV standard).
