Digital
products
Constant Change three strategic businesses
In the course of FY2005, we launched the
world’s first HD DVD player, the first note-
book PC to integrate a tuner for terrestrial
digital TV broadcasts, a mobile phone with
an HDD to support music playback, and a
new line of flat panel TVs under the new
“REGZA”brand. One after another, we
introduced products leading the way to the
age of ubiquitous networking and the mar-
kets of tomorrow.
As we did this, we also promoted internal
restructuring on a global scale, realigned
overseas production sites, reduced the cost of
logistics, intensified quality control and
improved the operating income and loss of
the audio-visual business.
We will continue to reflect the voices of
our customers in developing differentiated
products, to strive to add further value to the
Toshiba brand, and move forward with con-
fidence, ready for the challenges we meet.
Mobile Phone
integrating HDD
“MUSIC-HDD W41T,” WIN
music mobile phone came to
market as a new mobile phone
for the KDDI Corporation, one
of Japan’s mobile phone carri-
ers. It is the first phone in Japan
to integrate our 0.85-inch HDD,
the smallest commercially
available hard disk drive.
Though engineered small, the
drive performs big, and its 4GB
capacity can store approximately
2,000 pieces of music.
