The IFA exhibition in Berlin is buzzing with new and exciting products. This time it’s Toshiba with their HDTV able to upscale standard video content to almost 1080p. The Regza ZF series is the most advanced TV line from them and it is rightly so. The Regza ZF TVs integrate Resolution+ technology which is nothing but cell processor algorithms for calculating waveforms of different images and combining the pixels to add more depth and vividness in the picture.

On the audio front, it has a discreet Onkyo speaker system coupled with SRS WOW and bass boost. It has 3 HDMI inputs, Component, Composite, S-Video and Side AV inputs. The video upscaler TVs will come in options of 40-inch or 46-inch. 40-inch will cost around $2400. No word on pricing of the latter.

Newsflash, Samsung: your (previously rumored) new X360 laptop isn't actually lighter than air. Also newsflash: it's still pretty special. Samsung shouted a resounding "me too!" today with its new X360 13.3-inch ultraslim / ultralight / ultraportable laptop. Weighing in at 2.8 pounds and measuring as thin as 0.66-inches (1.2-inches on the fatter end), the laptop is based on a Centrino 2 ULV processor and is built to compete. 1GB of RAM is standard -- there's room for up to 4GB -- and you can pick a 64GB or 128GB SSD, or opt for a 5400RPM 120GB HDD if you're feeling boring. Graphics come from X4500 integrated graphics, and the screen runs at 1280 x 800. The best and worst news comes with the inputs and outputs; Samsung didn't integrate an optical drive, but did find room for a 7-in-1 card reader, three USB ports, PCI ExpressCard/34, HDMI, VGA, LAN and a docking port. There's naturally WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0+ EDR and a 1.3 megapixel camera. Battery life is specced at 6 to 10 hours, but we're guessing the upper end of that spectrum will add considerably to the weight. No word on price or availability, but as far as we know Samsung hasn't gone backsies on its "no computers for those dirty Americans" policy, so it looks like we're stuck with the other dozen or so similarly specced laptops out there.

It may not have produced quite the onslaught of news that Intel's recent Developer Forum did, but it looks like NVIDIA's NVISION08 conference was at least able to pull one big rabbit out of its hat, with NVIDIA itself dropping word that it's going to allow Intel's X58 chipset to natively support SLI. For those not following the ins and outs of the NVIDIA / Intel relationship, NVIDIA had previously said that it would let its nForce 200 chip to be implemented by board manufacturers to allow SLI support, but that idea never exactly caught on, leading to this new, more accommodating solution. As PC Perspective reports, the native SLI support will also be far from limited, with motherboards with as few as two PCIe x16 slots and as many as four PCIe x16 slots able to support an array of SLI configurations, including a 3-Way SLI with a fourth graphics card for a PhysX boost.

TV manufacturers are constantly trying to out-do each other on specs. Brightness, contrast, number of inputs - it’s all fair game. We’ve already had the worlds Largest plasma but it looks like the next battleground will be the thickness of the screen.

Sony are proudly proclaiming the new 40″ Bravia XZ1 holds the title of “World’s thinnest LCD TV” measuring 9.9mm at it’s slimmest point. To put that into perspective, it’s slightly thinner than my K660i. Quite a feat!

More details after the jump

  • Edge mounted LED lighting, replacing the conventional backlight.
  • A separate receiver hooks up the inputs, sending the HD signal wirelessly to the screen. A nice touch, it means the screen can just sit on the wall with no distracting cables hanging down
  • Newly developed Bravia Engine 2. The Sony Bravia processing engine is one of the better ones out there, doing a good job on upscaling SD content.

You can read the full press release with all the details here.

No word yet on a price, but I wouldn’t expect to see it at the budget end of the market…

On the audio front, Philips just launched a pair of Network Music Players, the NP2500 and the NP2900. They're color-screened followups to January's monochrome NP1100, and the NP2500 does audio out (including coaxial digital audio) just like is forebear, while the NP2900 (pictured) includes built-in speakers. The players work with internet radio, your PC's music library and some online music services like Rhapsody. No word on price or release date.

While our primary drool allotment will be directed at Philips' new 8mm LCD concept, Philips also has some new for-realsies LCDs here at IFA potentially worth your time. Leading off the pack is the LED-backlit 42PFL9803 FlatTV (pictured), a 42-inch set with 128 segments of LED for a purported 2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. The set runs at 100Hz, has a 17-bit "Color Booster" for a wide gamut, and even does a bit of 2nd gen Ambilight for good measure. Essence (42PES0001) is another 42-inch, 1080p display, but stakes its claim on thinness, measuring 38mm (1.5-inches) deep, and has a single cable running to a connectivity hub which doles out the audio, video and power. 100Hz and wide color gamut are all here. Finally, Philips is doing up a new generation of Aurea sets with new 37-inch and 42-inch 1080p displays, which offer up "Active Frame" transparent frames to reflect the Ambilight surrounding the set. The displays also offer 100Hz, 30,000:1 contrast ratios and 2ms response times. No word on price or availability for any of these, which is starting to sound like the official theme of IFA 2008.

These look to be aimed directly at enterprises and other no-frills applications, but we're still intrigued these new all-in-one touchscreen PCs from NEC. With Atom under the hood, 512MB or 1GB of RAM and a 80GB hard drive, you can pick between the 12-inch 12PNC-W2/B2 (white or black) or the 15PNC-W2/B2 (same), you won't be able to walk away with one of these tablet-style, but it sounds like the power draw will be akin to a laptop. The PNCs run XP Embedded or Vista Business for Embedded. No word on price.

It's no D90, but Sony has a new compact stillcam for your snapping pleasure, the Cyber-shot T500, and it's touting an HD movie mode just like any good bandwagon hopper should. The 10.1 megapixel camera offers up a 5x optical zoom, 3.5-inch LCD and Optical SteadyShot, but most of the attention is likely to be lavished on the 1280 x 720 30 fps h.264 movie mode. You can grab 720p stills while you shoot, and you can expect to store about an hour of video on your 4GB Memory Stick... you do have a 4GB Memory Stick, right? The T500 hits this October, no word just yet on price. Oh, and she comes in colors.

That is a serious amount of camera power in such a small device, and as well as the 8.1 megapixels you get a 2.4 inch QVGA TFT display with a resolution of 240 x320 , with scratch resistant mineral glass, which acts as your viewfinder.


There are also a host of features to ensure that you get the best pictures from this camera phone including. face detection, smart contrast, geo tagging and there is even a xenon flash and a camera flash.

The C905 Cyber-shot also has a built in accelerometer for screen auto rotation, as well as GPS and WiFi and there is even a TV out port, that’s a lots of features on a mobile phone.

The Sony Ericsson C905 is a quad-band mobile phone with support for GSM, EDGE, UTMS and HSDPA, there is also A2DP stereo Bluetooth, a built in FM Radio which even has RDS and of course USB.

Memory wise there is 160MB built in with the option to expand up to 8GB with a Memory Stick Micro, so there will be plenty of room to store all the photos you take with the 8.1 megapixel camera.

Now you would expect the Sony Ericsson C905 to be a large mobile phone considering the amount of features that are packed into it, but it is surprisingly small measuring just 104 x 49 x 18mm and weighing just 136g.

Overall the Sony Ericsson C905 is bound to be a hit, with that amount of features in a mobile phone you really wouldn’t need to carry your digital camera around with you anymore unless you were a serious photographer.

The C905 will go on sale later in October , there is no word on pricing as yet.
