Toshiba’s Qosmio F755 will sport glasses-free 3D August 16th, for $1,699

Remember the Qosmio F750 glasses-free 3D laptop we got our paws all over back in July? Well, it seems like it’s gotten a makeover for it’s US preview, and is now renamed the F755. Thankfully, we’re not going to leave you with just news on it’s new name — we’ve also got pricing and a release date for you aswell. Come August 16th you’ll be able to get your hands on Toshiba’s 15.6″ media monster starting at $1,699. The notebook will pop up in Best Buy, Fry’s and Newegg on the same day, sporting the Core i7 processor, 6GB of RAM, 750GB hard drive, Blu-ray drive and a GeForce GT 540M GPU. Unfortunately it won’t be able to transform 2D games to 3D out of the box, at least not yet, although Toshiba have teamed up with Nvidia to deliver the feature by around November. Atleast for now, you’ll just have to sit in the corner with your Macbook Air.

TabCo is Fusion Garage, Grid 10 is the new JooJoo Tablet as we predicted!

The wait is finally over. TabCo has shown its true colors and has revealed itself to be Fusion Garage, (as we predicted) and amazingly they have had the financial backing to release ANOTHER tablet. This time around its powered by the “Grid OS with Android application” – meaning that it can run Android applications.

The tablet itself does in fact bring a slew of hardware advancements to the 10.1″ Tablet scene. With a 4 point Capacitive Touch Panel and a 1366 x 768 resolution display this tablet is already slightly ahead of the pack.  It is powered by the Nvidia Tegra II 1.2GHz Dual Core SOC however unlike its Android Honeycomb competitors it only has 512Mb of RAM. It features a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera, built in microphone, two 0.5 watt “loudspeakers”, combined 3.5mm headphone and mic jack. As for storage you are looking at 16GB of internal flash memory expandable by Micro SD card.
Moving on to wireless options and this is where this tablet truly packs a punch. Standard 802.11 B/G/N Wi-Fi is complemented by Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, and then it gets really crazy with its Quad band 3G (HSDPA) and Quad band GSM. Of course the real treat here is the Micro SIM card slot and this should be loads of fun to deal with when changing networks. Other sensors include GPS/AGPS, Accelerometer, Ambient Light and 3 axis Gyroscope. A 5800mAh battery keeps this tablet juiced. Now as for the pricing, the 16GB Wi-Fi version is $499  and the 16GB Wi-Fi + 3G is $599. It will Ship on September 15th. Now to get some hands on time.
