Although its projectors are not exactly what one might call "glamourous," Toshiba has kept pushing quite a few devices of this type on the market over the past couple of years, most of them combining a sturdy build with above-average features and, usually, a price tag that very accurately reflects their features.

It's not the first time SmartParts introduces a very wide digital photo frame, but it would seem that the company has taken things a bit too far this time.

It's rather difficult to tell what Sony's product launch strategy is exactly, because sometimes they make the weirdest possible choices.

Short-throw projectors have become extremely popular lately, due mostly to the fact that they allow users to enjoy the same advantages provided by a regular projector while requiring a lot less space in order to do so.

It's been quite a busy time for Japanese company Sony lately.
