Toshiba announced a new device in Japan today featuring Windows 10 and pen-like capabilities.

The DynaPad is aimed for people who wanted to use the power of a modern stylus. It has the Wacom Active Electrostatics (ES) TruPen that has 2,048 levels of pressure for high-precision writing on the tablet’s 12-inch diagonal WUXGA+ (1920 × 1280 pixels) IPS display with anti-reflection and anti-fingerprint coating. It runs on 1.44GHz Intel Atom processor with 4GB of RAM, so performance may not be at best but the tablet only weighs 569g and is 6.6mm thin. Adding the keyboard dock will jump the weight to 996g and height to 14.9mm.

It will be available in the U.S. and Europe in Q1 next year with a pre-order already ongoing in Japan. There’s no exact pricing for the DynaPad yet.

Toshiba will manufacture Project Ara’s processors

On an unexpected note, it looks like we’ll be seeing Toshiba-made CPUs once Google’s Project Ara becomes available on January. There are also three types of processors that the Japanese company will supply Google.

You’d think the upcoming Project Ara will be backed up by a Qualcomm CPU since they’re the front-runner and leading provider of wireless technology today, but Toshiba closed the deal and made it official last October. According to the report, Toshiba is the only Japanese company that is a “preferred supplier” of Google to handle this new technology of handsets with removable and replaceable modules.

The three types of processors to be supplied by Toshiba most likely will be for the three different sizes of Project Ara – small, medium, and phablet. The report also points out that Toshiba will be the sole supplier of processors until about a year after the release.

We’ve seen the working prototype of Project Ara and that owning a working device would cost about Php4,400. So far, do you like how this device is shaping up?

Snapdragon 805 to have UFS 2.0 memory module

Ronnie Bulaong Leave a comment

As tablets and smartphones become more and more powerful, it’s only logical for manufacturers to start looking for better storage solutions. That’s exactly what Qualcomm has in mind, which is why they collaborated with Toshiba to include a UFS 2.0 module on the upcoming Snapdragon 805 SoC.

UFS

Compared to the e-MMC, the upcoming Universal Flash Storage version 2.0 promises faster performance and will offer Full Duplexing (Simultaneous Read & Write) capability that is noticeably missing on current storage solutions for mobile devices.

On the downside though, UFS 2.0 modules will be a tad more expensive than e-MMC, which is why we won’t see this technology on mid-tier and low-end devices just yet. However, Toshiba is confident that UFS will eventually become a market standard and all future mobile devices will soon have it.

The UFS-equipped Snapdragon 805 processor is said to enter mass-production on the second quarter of the year with other Qualcomm chipset to follow suit.
