. With Sony and Samsung already shaving inches off their google boxes, Toshiba are also looking to get in with the super skinny sized models. No dates were given on when these would be hitting our fat shelves, but expect an announcement later this year.

Adding to the super slim hinting Toshiba unveiled their updated REGZA X series with the XV series. Available in March the range includes 32, 37 and 42 screen inches – all of which boast a full 1080 HD resolution. The 32″ model is the smallest REGZA model to display 1080p Full HD to date.Oh yeah.

Want to enjoy all the fun of High Def telly without having to fork out for a swanky Plasma? It looks like there might be a solution, in the form of the ASUS HDTV Suite-HDMI.

The analogue standalone TV box provides HD viewing at the highest video quality. All users have to do, if they so desire, is hook the box up to their PC monitors.

Housing a bucket-load of features – “Dynamic Deblocking”, “Flesh Tone Correction”, “Advanced 3D Comb” (anybody?) – the wonder box uses advanced hardware which means video playback is top notch.

The hardware removes the need for your PC monitor to feature an image-processing unit usually seen on top-of-the-range TVs.

No software add-ons are required and the box can also be used as a media centre, with connections for gaming consoles and DVD players.

We still don’t know if we’re that excited about sitting in front of our computers to watch a flick, but this sort of thing itches us that little bit closer to life at a desk.

This is a motion-activated video recorder, tucked away inside a fully functioning radio alarm clock. The perfect way to catch your philandering partner in their dastardly act.

Of course, if you’re in a harmonious and trusting relationship – surely someone out there must be? – it can deployed as a homemade blue-movie recorder. You can even tune into late night love on the built-in radio as you get your groove on.

For all you non-pervs out there who’re actually more concerned with someone breaking in and stealing your porn collection, it’s an FBI-style surveillance camera that can snare thieving toe-rags with great aplomb.

The CCD camera is concealed within the front of the clock radio and contains an SD memory card for transferring covert operational footage onto your PC. The manufacturers – Spy Chest Inc – say this makes the files easily email-able to friends and family. It’s the ultimate revenge gadget and it’s yours for $399.00. Roger that?

It’s a brilliant idea: You’ve got an iPhone which can now navigate based on mobile phone towers (with great success, we might add), so why shouldn’t you be able to get it to tell you where it’s hanging out?

Enter iPhone Lojack, an application that, when launched, sends the whereabouts of your iPhone to a Twitter feed, so if you leave it in a cab or if someone half-inches it, you can skip over to any computer with an internet connection (or, y’know, borrow your mate’s iPhone) to track it down and apprehend the thief.

It’s a rather involved hack which requires you to have an jailbroken (i.e hacked) iPhone, but if the thought of invalidating your iPhone’s warranty fills you with trepidation, we imagine similar functionality would be possible when Apple launch their Software Development Kit for the iPhone, due some time soon.

T3 was today sniffing around at Toshiba’s top secret lair as the company attempted to switch the spotlight away from the smouldering remnants of HD-DVD Armageddon.

Inevitably, that’s all anyone else wanted to talk about, and questions soon got around to whether Tosh would extend now a reconciliatory hand to Blu-ray.

The skinny? Well, although it seems stand-alone Blu-ray players may not be on the agenda, we could soon be seeing the drives built into in Toshiba’s successful laptop ranges.

A spokesman for the company told us that “there are no plans at the moment” for individual players, but, rather mysteriously, that the company are “reviewing” their strategy for Blu-ray drives laptop computers.

Could that be the first hint that balance has finally been brought to the Hi-Def force and even Tosh has stopped feeling blue and started feeling Blu-ray?

Stay tuned folks
