Toshiba has delivered a handful of promises that should mean some interesting gadgets in the coming months. For a start, the company's long-delayed DMFC (direct methanol fuel cell) should be out before the end of September. The first DMFC product will be a portable charger for gadgets and Toshiba plans to follow it with DMFCs embedded in devices themselves, such as cell phones and laptops. Also due soon are more low-cost laptops. Toshiba will expand from 4 models to 6 models the number of sub $599 computers it offers. And finally Blu-ray Disc players and laptops are in the cards. Yup, Toshiba, promoter of the failed HD DVD format is finally getting behind Blu-ray Disc and we should see products before the end of the year.
