by Bogdan Petrovan on Mar 01, 2012 1 Comments">1
You gotta hand it to Toshiba. Any other company would have chosen to steer clear of the Apple hype-machine, set in overdrive by the upcoming launch of the iPad3. But not Toshiba.

Either they don’t care about it, or, they do it on purpose, just to mess with Apple. Either way, bravos for Toshiba.

All we have is a few cool concepts and ideas that everyone agree that should be transformed to reality, but no one dares to tackle. With …
