Lenovo Introduces ThinkPad Tablet PC Intel Unveils Quad-Core Xeon 5300 and Core 2 Extreme Processors Apacer Introduces New DDR2-667/533 MHz 2GB SODIMM Modules Toshiba Launches Second-Generation HD DVD Players Lenovo Introduces ThinkPad Tablet PC Lenovo announced the ThinkPad X60 Tablet with two new screen choices and other innovative features, such as MultiView/MultiTouch screen. The Lenovo ThinkPad X60 Tablet's new 12-inch MultiView indoor/outdoor, anti-reflective/anti-glare display helps increase viewability in multiple environments. This screen choice comes combined with the new MultiTouch feature that allows users to move the cursor with their pen or finger, making interaction with the ThinkPad Tablet PC a natural fit. The MultiView/MultiTouch screen has 170-degree viewing angle and SXGA+ resolution. The ThinkPad X60 Tablets come equipped with Lenovo’s patent-pending Active Rotate function. With Active Rotate, the screen immediately orients to the user, no matter which direction it turns. The ThinkPad X60 Tablet's design also focuses on improving more traditional tablet features like navigational tools and the pen. Now a redesigned navigational dial lets users move easily in four directions, and it even remaps keys so "up" is always "up" as the user changes orientation with Active Rotate. Also, a new, more natural and durable pen resumes from suspend mode automatically when a user removes it from its cradle. An enhanced digital microphone repositioned on the front bezel enables accurate voice recognition and rounds out the ThinkPad X60 Tablet's sensory improvements. The ThinkPad X60 Tablet's design also includes memory, a larger hard drive and longer battery life than Lenovo's previous Tablet PC. Selected models also support 802.11n technology and feature embedded WWAN cards. Pricing for the ThinkPad X60 Tablet starts at $1,799. The ThinkPad X60 Tablet will be available for shipping in early December with selected models available immediately for pre-ordering. Source: Lenovo

Toshiba Launches Second-Generation HD DVD Players Toshiba Corporation today announced the launch of its second generation HD DVD players in the Japanese market. The company will roll out two new players, HD-XF2 and HD-XA2, from late December. The new HD DVD players are smaller and offer improved speed in loading and response times over the HD-XA1, the first HD DVD player, brought to market by Toshiba in March 2006. The new high-end HD-XA2 supports Deep Color technology, an optional standard under HDMI that improves representation of color tones and achieves finer color gradation. HD-XA2 also provides support for the 1080p output. Both players offer advanced navigation and interactive features. A Picture in Picture (PIP) function include the ability to play supplementary video over the main program, allowing viewers to watch bonus content, such as a superimposed director's commentary or a documentary about the making of the movie, while the movie plays. The players' "pop-up menu" displays movie chapters with thumbnails while the movie plays, and allows users to navigate menu features without pausing playback. The new players support surround-sound formats, including Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD, and also support linear PCM 5.1ch audio. Up-conversion of standard DVD to a resolution of 1080i or 720p (1080p for HD-XA2) through an HDCP-capable HDMI output allows viewers to enjoy their current DVD libraries with an output resolution scaled to match their resolution of their HDTV or HD displays. The new HD DVD players comply with the European Union's RoHS directive, which came into force in July 2006.
