Toshiba may benefit from a proposed $18.5 billion loan from the Energy Department of the U.S. federal government to build new nuclear reactors in the U.S. These proposals may not beat the lobbying effort against them by environmentalists.

Toshiba has joined with NEC and IBM to develop next generation computer chips for cell phones. The 28 nanometer chips, will use less power, and may ship in late 2010.

Even after the most movie studios have adopted the Blu-Ray HDTV DVD technology from Sony, Toshiba is still trying to market their HD DVD players, even though it is very difficult to find a movie to rent that uses this format. Toshiba president Akiyo Ozaka told the press in Las Vegas that their technology “has not lost”.

Toshiba will postpone its $310 million takeover of Fujitsu’s hard drive business.

-=Good Selling=-
