Toshiba kicked off its CES press conference by reminding the audience of the ad space it bought right underneath the ball at last week’s New Year’s Eve celebration in Times Square. Perhaps the company liked the idea of kissing 2008 good-bye — it was around this time a year ago that Warner Bros. decamped from Toshiba’s HD-DVD format, and a month later HD-DVD crumbled completely. CES 2008 couldn’t have been the happiest of times. With no need to keep pushing high-def discs, Toshiba this time around has put its efforts into its line of LCD TVs.
