Sharp announces MX-2310F Digital Full-Color Multi-Function Printer for Japanese market

sharp_mfp.jpg
Sharp will introduce into the Japanese market the new MX-2310F Digital Full-Color MFP featuring enhanced environmental performance and high-quality color output in a compact size that is the smallest and lightest in its class. The use of a newly developed polymer resin frame has reduced the weight of the main unit by approximately one-third of its predecessor model. In addition, Sharp MX-2310F Digital Full-Color MFP delivers the environmental performance demanded in today’s offices by reducing power consumption by approximately 77% of its predecessor thanks to a significantly faster warm-up time, adopting LEDs as the light source in the scanning section, and holding down power consumption while on network standby to just 1 watt.

Sharp’s Mycrostoner HG2 advanced small-particle toner enables high-image-quality output that naturally reproduces neutral tones as well as fine details in the original. The design also gives full consideration to ease of use, including a 7.0-inch WVGA color touchscreen LCD control panel and easy-grip handles. The new Sharp MX-2310F Digital Full-Color MFP will be available in Japan from September 10, 2010 for approximately 1,165,000 yen ($13,840).

Toshiba Camileo S30 and P20 pocket camcorders get touchscreens

Toshiba’s launching some new Camileo pocket HD camcorders at IFA, and hey — just like everything else in the world, they’ve sprouted three-inch touchscreens. Both offer 1080p recording and 10x digital zooms with HDMI out and support for 64GB SD storage; the £139 ($214) S30 comes in a more standard form factor that’s 19mm (.7 inch) thick and features eight megapixel still photos, automatic exposure control and image stabilization, while the £119 ($183) P20 comes in a pistol grip package and takes five megapixel stills. The P20 will hit in October, while the S30 is set to arrive in January, so it makes perfect sense for Toshiba to announce it now, in September. PR after the break.

Toshiba Satellite A665-3DV gets a stereoscopic software makeover, now plays nice with 2D content, Blu-ray 3D and external screens

Nabbed one of Toshiba’s fully-loaded stereoscopic laptops, only to find a dearth of actual 3D? The company’s got a software update that might revitalize your machine. Where previously you’d have to install ready-made dual-ocular content directly to your hard drive, the manufacturer’s just promised a Toshiba Video Player application that will convert your existing 2D content into 3D, plus firmware that will help you pipe stereoscopic video over the integrated HDMI port and upgrade your Blu-ray drive to take the new Blu-ray 3D discs — though we honestly thought it could do that last bit already. While there’s no word on availability, the press release suggests a download will pop up any moment… so, you know, be sure to keep both eyes out. PR after the break.

Roku XD and Netgear Roku XD Player hit the FCC

Well, well, what’s this? Looks like Roku has some bigger plans for hitting back at the $99 Apple TV than just price cuts of its own: a Roku XD and a Netgear Roku XD Player just hit the FCC. That’s right, Netgear — Roku’s expanding its platform to third parties. We don’t know if these two devices are standalones or designed to work together, but we’re guessing they’re standalones; the Netgear unit might blend in some of the Digital Entertainer line’s support for local playback and services like PlayOn, YouTube, and CinemaNow. Of course, the big question is going to be price, since if these are substantially more than the Apple TV’s $99 they’re going to have to offer some major features, but we should be finding out what’s up soon enough: the confidentiality on these docs lifts October 23.
