Toshiba has managed to stay far away from the STB bandwagon, but yes, all that’s fixing to change in the year 2010. The StorE TV is Toshiba’s next-gen media centre/ streamer. It is a sleek little gogglebox companion, more than a media streamer which will hold all your music, photos and movies with capacities that start at a whopping 1 terrabyte. It is expected on sale in the UK later this year.
The StorE TV will eventually come in 1TB, 1.5TB and 2TB flavors using Wi-Fi to grab media files from a PC on your home network, before slathering them all over the big screen TV in full HD.
This pre-production StorE TV is unique in the world and has to receive the final software. But the abilities of this model are still impressive. It will handle high quality video, from UPnP devices on your home network; other devices hooked up through an external DVD drive, USB, and boast an SD card slot to gobble the produce of your digital camera or camcorder.
It also boasts the prospect of “Internet Services” appearing on the box, although as yet it is unsure what these will be. A display up front shows the name of files being played back and giving a glimpse of directories, navigation and files. It is in colour also.
The StorE TV is now aiming for a launch in the third quarter of the year over in the UK. That’s September to non-marketing types. The pricing details are still not available.
