</h1> <article> <h1>Toshiba’s CEVO-Engine is Cell on steroids, with an ultra-bright LED LCD to burn your eyeballs into submission</h1> Toshiba will be happy to tell you that its upcoming CEVO-Engine, which launches early next year in a "sub-€5,000" TV designed by former B&O-fave design firm Jacob Jensen Design, is the best thing ever, but it takes some work to figure out just exactly why that's the case. We did some digging, subjected our eyeballs to the display's brilliance, and have our full thoughts on the new tech after the break. So, CEVO-Engine in a nutshell is just a bunch of those Cell multicore processors stacked on top of each other, which allows for more picture processingPosts of Interest:<ol><li><a href='http://www.techtidbits.org/samsung-debuts-u820-qwerty-slider-at-ctia-no-one-notices/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Samsung debuts U820 QWERTY slider at CTIA, no one notices'>Samsung debuts U820 QWERTY slider at CTIA, no one notices</a></li><li><a href='http://www.techtidbits.org/site-terms/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Site Terms'>Site Terms</a></li><li><a href='http://www.techtidbits.org/privacy-policy/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Privacy Policy'>Privacy Policy</a></li><li><a href='http://www.techtidbits.org/att-having-data-trouble-in-parts-of-florida/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: AT&T having data trouble in parts of Florida'>AT&T having data trouble in parts of Florida</a></li><li><a href='http://www.techtidbits.org/acc-big-12-upgrade-to-hd-instant-replay/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: ACC, Big 12 upgrade to HD instant replay'>ACC, Big 12 upgrade to HD instant replay</a></li></ol> </article> <article> <h1>Vodafone flips stake in China Mobile for a cool $6.6B</h1> British wireless giant Vodafone has stakes in operators around the world -- perhaps notably its 45 percent share in Verizon Wireless -- but the company has recently made it clear that it plans to aggressively reevaluate all of its holdings, and those words are starting to turn into actions on news that its 3.2 percent piece of China Mobile is no longer. That's significant if for no other reason than the fact that China Mobile is far and away the largest wireless carrier in the world by subscriber count -- a total that exceeds half a billion -- which means that Voda's mere 3.2 percent share, acquired between 2000 and 2002, was valued at roughly $6.6 billionPosts of Interest:<ol><li><a href='http://www.techtidbits.org/att-having-data-trouble-in-parts-of-florida/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: AT&T having data trouble in parts of Florida'>AT&T having data trouble in parts of Florida</a></li><li><a href='http://www.techtidbits.org/samsung-debuts-u820-qwerty-slider-at-ctia-no-one-notices/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Samsung debuts U820 QWERTY slider at CTIA, no one notices'>Samsung debuts U820 QWERTY slider at CTIA, no one notices</a></li><li><a href='http://www.techtidbits.org/privacy-policy/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Privacy Policy'>Privacy Policy</a></li><li><a href='http://www.techtidbits.org/acc-big-12-upgrade-to-hd-instant-replay/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: ACC, Big 12 upgrade to HD instant replay'>ACC, Big 12 upgrade to HD instant replay</a></li><li><a href='http://www.techtidbits.org/panasonics-portable-digital-viera-tvs-handle-more-than-prime-time/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Panasonic’s portable Digital Viera TVs handle more than prime time'>Panasonic’s portable Digital Viera TVs handle more than prime time</a></li></ol> </article> <article> <h1>ESPN 3D review: college football kickoff</h1> The 2009 BCS National Championship game showed us the potential of 3D sports broadcasts but now it's 2010 so while Sam Bradford and Tim Tebow have taken their game to the NFL, ESPN 3D has made it a reality for viewers at home.

In case you're still unfamiliar with the NBC show, Chuck Bartowski was a regular employee at the Buy More electronics store before accidentally downloading a computer database into his head and becoming a secret agent -- all without telling his family, friends and co-workers. In the third season, Chuck makes steps towards becoming a full-fledged agent on his own and the show has a lot more action, but it still retains the comedy elements that have kept it going so farPosts of Interest:<ol><li><a href='http://www.techtidbits.org/home-audio-complete-systems/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Home Audio – Complete Systems'>Home Audio – Complete Systems</a></li><li><a href='http://www.techtidbits.org/satellite-radio-complete-systems/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Satellite Radio – Complete Systems'>Satellite Radio – Complete Systems</a></li><li><a href='http://www.techtidbits.org/stage-lighting-effects-complete-systems/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Stage Lighting & Effects – Complete Systems'>Stage Lighting & Effects – Complete Systems</a></li><li><a href='http://www.techtidbits.org/acc-big-12-upgrade-to-hd-instant-replay/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: ACC, Big 12 upgrade to HD instant replay'>ACC, Big 12 upgrade to HD instant replay</a></li><li><a href='http://www.techtidbits.org/samsung-debuts-u820-qwerty-slider-at-ctia-no-one-notices/' rel='bookmark' title='Permanent Link: Samsung debuts U820 QWERTY slider at CTIA, no one notices'>Samsung debuts U820 QWERTY slider at CTIA, no one notices</a></li></ol> </article> <article> <h1>App review: Nike+ GPS</h1> Nike's dalliances with technology should be familiar to our readers by now, with the crowning jewel of course being the Nike+ run-tracking software that pairs a shoe-mounted sensor with your iPhone or iPod.

The candybar features a 1.3 megapixel cam with video capture, stereo Bluetooth support and a 3.5mm headphone jack (which means you've got a music player on board, naturally), microSD expansion, and a 2.4-inch QVGA display.
