 Formed in 1939, by a merger of two older companies, Toshiba is another Japanese success story based around the electronics sector. Its focus on developing new technologies has led to it innovating in everything from RADAR, Microwave ovens, transistor Televisions, Laptops and even DVDs.
Toshiba's products span IT & communications systems, digital consumer products, electronic devices, and home appliances.
Toshiba's wide range of products includes:
 Specialising in fresh designs and high definition picture quality, Toshiba LCD & LED TVs, sold under the REGZA brand, are carefully designed to provide a great base for any home entertainment system. With screens up to 55" in size and features include EcoPanels, Full HD, AutoView Resolution+, LED Local Dimming Technology, Active backligh control, Integrated Digital Tuners, HDMI InstaPort, Dolby Volume, Active Vision picture processing, LED backlighting, Meta Brain and more.
Toshiba's wide rage of TVs includes the B Series, AV61 Series, AV63 Series, AV636 Series, AV633 Series, LV Series, RV363 Series, RV635 Series, RV665 Series, SV Series, W Series, Premium XV Series and Stylish ZV Series
 As one of the largest manufacturers of laptops it produces a range of leisure and professional machines suitable for all purposes. Its Satellite range of notebooks has been the backbone of many businesses and recent focus on Netbooks has created machines with battery lives up to 9hrs.
Key Features include the usual WiFi, Bluetooth, TruBrite screens, Windows 7 along with HDMI connections, Blu-ray drives, Harman-Kardon speakers, nVIDIA graphics, LifeSpace and Resolution+.
Its range includes the Qosmio, Satellite, Protege, Satellite Pro, Tecra and its netbook range.
- Blu-ray Players and DVD Players
 Toshiba actually created the DVD standard and, as you'd expect they offer a full range of DVD players, recorders and portable DVD players . Features available depending on model include DVD playback / recording, 1080p upscaling, XDE technology, DivX, MP3 and JPEG playback, HDMI ports,
built-in Freeview or Freeview+ and USB/SD connectivity.
- Digital Cameras & Camcorders
 From small pocket sized digital camcorders Toshiba's Camileo range covers most bases. Incorporating High Definition filming, simple to use controls and sleek designs, the new Toshiba models are pretty hard to beat. The S10 and P10 are both very small units for the features contained within them - The P30 adds better optics but still in an unbelievably small package.
Whilst not as common in Europe as they perhaps should be Toshiba have an interesting range of mobile phones / devices build out on the Windows Mobile platform like the TG01, G450, Portege G810 and Portege G910. Until the OS base widens it looks like some of their slick design skills will go unnoticed.
 Under its GigaFrame series of digital photo frames Toshiba has built some truly elegant and minimalistic designed devices. From its outstanding Touch range, air801, air1000, Q80/Q81 and L80/81 they all focus on a particular niche area of the market and do it well
Being one of the largest Hard Drive and memory manufacturers it's good to see that they have taken some of their own internal components and wrapped them into great bodies / designs that have allowed them to produce some interesting devices. From 2.5" portable units to TV Multimedia players Toshiba should have a device in its range to suit your needs.
Another Japanese company with a wide range of commercial and residential Air conditioning units. Given I dont use one and we don't sell them at the moment I'll leave it up to you to do your own research on them. Of course, this attitude may change rapidly if summer promises some higher temperatures!
