Active shutter glasses are useful for displaying 3D video because they get rid of the "ghosting" that can appear with passive glasses.

It's not the Mac tablet that the internet has been clamoring about for the past few months, but Toshiba's touch-sensitive media tablet is looking pretty spiffy. Behind the 7-inch screen is built-in WiFi and support for a bunch of video codecs including H.264, DivX and WMV. The dock has a built-in HDMI port, which it can use to stream HD video (though, not full 1080p HD) to a TV.

  Unknown to many, Toshiba played a major role in co-developing the Cell Broadband Processing chip with Sony and IBM. This little piece of silicon magic happens to be the brains behind Sony’s PlayStation3 and forms the basis of IBM’s next-generation of Roadrunner super computers.

Following up on their trends from last year's show (for those who don't remember, they prognisticated: Black is the new black, 1080p is the new 720p, 120 Hertz is the new 1080p and there is no significant volume over $3,000) Toshiba announced what they feel will be the TV selling trends of 2009.
