Video: Toshiba Showcases Glasses-Free 3D Display
If there’s one thing that can help 3D pave the way to the main stream in consumer electronics (apart from lower prices), then it’s naked-eye 3D screens. What’s the current situation?

The improvements are modest: you’ve got improved ISO range (up to 25600 expanded, but I wouldn’t), a better burst rate (6FPS, which is sweet), and a much-improved LCD (3″ at 640×480). You’ve still got the same 12 megapixels and the 720p video is limited to 25FPS, which is likely what I’d choose anyway (well, 24, but eh).

With all this talk about Google TV, Apple TV, and other set-top boxes, it’s easy to forget about the venerable home theater PC. While the interface will be less intuitive than those other, flashier solutions (nobody likes navigating Windows or another desktop OS from the couch), the capabilities are endless and upgrading is straightforward. This new one is also as sleek and compact as a normal DVD player.
iPod Touch: No Vibration, Only 256MB Of RAM, Slightly Inferior Screen

Philips Lights Up OLEDs Without A Power Adapter
Previously, if you wanted to use an OLED display, you had to use a power adapter. The problem was that OLEDs required low voltage to light up, instead of the standard (in Europe) 230v system.
