History of Toshiba Company

Toshiba is a diversified manufacturer and marketer of advanced electronic and electrical products, spanning information & communications equipment and systems, Internet-based solutions and services, electronic components and materials, power systems, industrial and social infrastructure systems, and household appliances

One, Tanaka Seizosho (Tanaka Engineering Works), was Japan's first manufacturer of telegraph equipment and was established by Hisashige Tanaka in 1875. In 1904, its name was changed to Shibaura Seisakusho (Shibaura Engineering Works). Through the first part of the 20th century Shibaura Engineering Works became a major manufacturer of heavy electrical machinery as Japan modernized during the Meiji Era and became a world industrial power.
The second company, Hakunetsusha, was established in 1890 and was Japan's first producer of incandescent electric lamps. It diversified into the manufacture of other consumer products and in 1899 was renamed Tokyo Denki (Tokyo Electric).

The group expanded strongly, both by internal growth and by acquisitions, buying heavy engineering and primary industry firms in the 1940s and 1950s and then spinning off subsidiaries in the 1970s and beyond. Groups created include Toshiba EMI (1960), Toshiba International Corporation (1970's) Toshiba Electrical Equipment (1974), Toshiba Chemical (1974), Toshiba Lighting and Technology (1989), Toshiba America Information Systems (1989) and Toshiba Carrier Corporation (1999).

In 1987, Toshiba Machine, a subsidiary of Toshiba, was accused of illegally selling CNC milling machines used to produce very quiet submarine propellers to the Soviet Union in violation of the CoCom agreement, an international embargo on certain countries to COMECON countries. The Toshiba-Kongsberg scandal involved a subsidiary of Toshiba and the Norwegian company Kongsberg Vaapenfabrikk. The incident strained relations between the United States and Japan, and resulted in the arrest and prosecution of two senior executives, as well as the imposition of sanctions on the company by both countries.^[3] The US had always relied on the fact that the Soviets had noisy boats, so technology that would make the USSR's submarines harder to detect created a significant threat to America's security. Senator John Heinz of Pennsylvania said "What Toshiba and Kongsberg did was ransom the security of the United States for $517 million."

In December 2004, Toshiba quietly announced it would discontinue manufacturing traditional in-house cathode ray tube (CRT) televisions. In 2006, Toshiba terminated production of in-house plasma TVs. Toshiba quickly switched to Orion as the supplier and maker of Toshiba-branded CRT-based TVs and plasma TVs until 2007. To ensure its future competitiveness in the flat-panel digital television and display market, Toshiba has made a considerable investment in a new kind of display technology called SED.

In July 2005, BNFL confirmed it planned to sell Westinghouse Electric Company, then estimated to be worth $1.8bn (£1bn).^[4] The bid attracted interest from several companies including Toshiba, General Electric and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and when the Financial Times reported on January 23, 2006 that Toshiba had won the bid, it valued the company's offer at $5bn (£2.8bn). The bid surprised many industry experts who questioned the wisdom of selling one of the world's largest producers of nuclear reactors shortly before the market for nuclear power is expected to grow substantially; China, the United States and the United Kingdom are all expected to invest heavily in nuclear power.^[5] The acquisition of Westinghouse for $5.4bn was completed on October 17, 2006, with Toshiba obtaining a 77% share, and partners The Shaw Group a 20% share and Ishikawajima-Harima Heavy Industries Co. Ltd. a 3% share.

The Toshiba Satellite is Toshiba's flagship line of consumer-grade notebook computers. Models in the Satellite family vary greatly, ranging from entry-level models to full-fledged media center-class notebooks. The "Satellite" name is simply a model brand name and therefore the laptops bear no technical association to terminologies used in "satellite phone/satphone" or any modes of data transfer via orbital satellites.

Toshiba is best

The E205 is packed with features out of the box. The slot loading drive adds to the mobile design. The keyboard provides comfort and ease when typing unlike any laptop you have ever used. The touch panel on the right on the keyboard gives easy access to control volume, turn on eco (for power savings), and access your wireless display (WIDI). The WIDI is a great feature when accessing movie databases to wirelessly stream to your big screen TV. Though there are some DVD movies that cannot be displayed using the WIDI connection. The E205 is packed with performance using the new i5 and provides great storage capacity of 500GB. When you open multiple programs like itunes, windows media, and several tabbed internet screens; your experience no lag at all. Toshiba has also packed on their own software to convenience your everyday life such as recovery & PC Health Monitor. This laptop is great for the tech savvy or the first time buyer. The battery is good. But with a computer designed based on the recommendations of the customer.The downward firing speakers are sub-par and do not provide near quality sound as my old 2000 model year laptop, sad really. But in all honestly these are minor things; the big picture is that you will not be disappointed in the E205." Allows you to keep in touch with friends and family. It also has great capabilities that match any desktop or larger laptop.The slot load DVD is a great addition because computers of this size usually require an external drive.HDTV is the greatest feature in it.The lighted keyboard is great for working in a dark room without disturbing the rest of the family.Go buy this computer for yourself!"
