The second product is a notebook which will use Toshiba and Sony's SpursEngine graphics processor. There was no other details available for the laptop however.
The notebook is expected to launch Q4 2008 while the TV should arrive in fall 2009.
If they can get this Cell-based HDTV priced at under $5000 for a 50 to 52 incher then count me in.

The Japanese news site Tech-On! reports that an upcoming Toshiba HDTV will use the PS3's core Cell processor to enable some high-end features not normally seen on consumer television sets. One of these features is "real-time upscaling of SD signals into HD resolution".
Quote:Zoom function? Like the feature on all HD DVD players?
Another feature is described as the ability to "display video as if it is being viewed through opera glasses." Although unclear, it seems that may be a description of a zoom function.
Is this not old news?
Infact there is a video somewhere of them showing one off. You can see that the picture is definitely upscaled and they showed the 40-chann view :P

For the love of god Sony this Sony that they don't own Cell processor the had a part in it. it was developed by 3 companies Sony Computer Entertainment, Toshiba and IBM.
Quote:it's possible but highly unlikely, since the cell processor's was designed for devices with a slimed OS. also the fact that Linux as of now is the only OS thats not hardware dependent that can run it. so if you could manage to get crysis to run on linux its not impossible.

PS3 tech angle here is they are using the chipset in replacement to the normal chipsets and boards,calling it PS3 anything is a bit much its a cell based board and chipsets to run the TV/PLAYER/DEVICE more effianlty.

no but the right gaming laptop can do nicely,it might be silly and over priced but its not bad if you got the cash to burn, a desktop even a slim just is to much to haul around.

FYI windose can barely do 2-3 cores a parallel CPU it could not use,the "ix" stuff is a fair OS if you know what you are doing but it dose not have the support for such things, maybe in 5 years+....
Its a super win if the TVs have the ability to play Blu-Ray movies and PS3 games out of the box. Or at least blu-ray movies.
