Craving more than monochrome? The display's the thing on Toshiba's Gigabeat MEG F20--a gorgeous, 2.2-in. color screen that can crisply handle JPEG images, slick menu icons and even animated graphics that pulsate in synch with your music. Unlike the Sony and Apple players, which are closely bound to the companies' Sony Connect and iTunes Music Store, the Gigabeat can download songs from most music sites, and there's a forthcoming $449 version with an enormous 60 GB of memory...
Twenty kilometers outside the city of Nagoya in central Japan, on ground that was the Aichi Youth Park, a glittering futurescape has risen at the site of the 2005 World Exposition. Visitors at the expo's Mitsui-Toshiba pavilion are taken on a multimedia journey through outer space that speculates on the feasibility of travel to distant reaches of the universe. At the Japan pavilion, saltwater red snapper and freshwater carp live side by side in the same pool-a marvel accomplished by infusing the tank with "oxygenated nanobubbles." Throughout the 173-hectare grounds, more than 25 robots...

...technologies usually receive the CES crowd's most opinionated harrumphs, and this year the SED flat-panel technology developed by Toshiba and Canon was at the center of scrutiny. Billed as the technology that could bring down plasma, SED takes the idea of conventional cathode-ray-tube televisions and miniaturizes it: instead of one big electron gun exciting all the phosphors on a screen in sequence, millions of little electrical nodes do the same thing simultaneously. The result is picture contrast and response time that outstrip plasma and LCD with a much lower power drain. Toshiba says that production costs...
...Labs is introducing wireless headphones and an adapter for its Zen Micro that uses a technology called magnetic induction for a clean signal and long battery life. The kit will be available this spring for $150, possibly along with a universal wireless kit for other MP3 players. Motorola and Toshiba are both launching wireless wraparound headphones that use Bluetooth wireless networking to connect to laptops and cell phones, and HP recently introduced a similar pair, primarily for use with its iPaq PDAs. When MP3 players eventually add Bluetooth connectivity to their features, partnering them with one of these headsets will...
