Toshiba ships the Tecra R10 with Windows Vista Business as standard, and this operating system comes with its own performance measurement tool, the Windows Experience Index. Under this, the Tecra achieved a score of 3.8, but this was pegged back by the system’s low score for 3D gaming graphics due to the integrated functions in its Intel chipset. For each of memory, graphics and hard disk performance, the Tecra scored over 5, where 5.9 is the maximum.

I would just like to say how dissappointed I am with the customer service at Toshiba. I purchased A 52″ DLP rear projection TV in march. The bulb blew a short time later. Now it is November, our TV went down again october 17. It is still down. Nobody at customer service has been helpful. This part has been in transit for a week. I am never ever going to but another Toshiba product because of the way I have been treated by the customer service department. this is just my way of telling people how this company works. The customer is only important until the sale is made, then everything else is a fight!

The concept is really neat but not that new in Europe. Bar codes and mobiles have been used for sometime for ticketing and vouchers. Device manufacturers here are also looking at near field ID techniques which may be more robust than the variable picture quality/resolution on the vastly differing range of mobile phones in the market.

Why not? Isn’t structered blogging having a product review structure? )

But before people are able to access that information, how about companies allow us more easily to blog about them? Photos we can take for reviews from different angles, logos in different resolutions etc.

But I will be highly anticipating the usual tests from the blogosphere – I am not sure if Toshiba is aware about the fact what will happen if they bring back ‘beautified’ data. )

I like the idea of physical tagging, it blurs distinctions between the online and offline world which as far as I am concerned can only be a good thing. The whole thing reminds me of semacode, camera readable black and white blobs that could be translated into a url. It seems to be a big task to take one. I would have started smaller with pics of bar codes linking to a greater spec sheet and a small number of user reviews from one site. Trying to collate information from the blogosphere has been notoriously difficult..

It seems like it may be easier to query comments gathered in amazon, since there is already a standard identifier(AIN) and a API built on web standards. Not to take away from individual blogs but I agree that standards will be needed.

[...] Toshiba plans to develop software that enables cell phone cameras to read bar code. The idea is as follows: You’re in a shop and not sure whether to buy a certain product or not. You use your cell phone to take a picture of the bar code label and the code gets send to a Toshiba server. 10 seconds later you receive back information about the product at hand. This would be cool enough, but the clou is that Toshiba won’t just search some premade database for information about the product, but rather search blogs for reviews about it. I have no idea of how they plan to search the blogs for this kind of information, since there is no standard format for a blogged product review – but there will be ways to do that. [...]

Wow! This is encouraging. Not sure how they’re extracting positive and negative reviews from unstructured text. This is definitely something that would be easier with structured blogging.
