Mitsubishi astonishes CEATEC with gigantic 155-inch OLED display

And to think we were impressed with the Zune HD's 3.3-inch OLED display. That would be positively puny next to this Mitsubishi 155-inch OLED TV sitting on the show floor of CEATEC 2009 in Japan. This massive monitor is even bigger than that gigantic 150-inch Panasonic plasma screen from a couple of CES shows ago.

This monster monitor consists of 720 modular sections that are each slightly larger than that Zune HD's OLED screen — the 4x4-inch pieces are placed tightly together in a near-seamless configuration. This modular design can be expanded to any size you want. No one is saying what resolution this particular display has, but from a distance those modules seem to mesh together rather well.
We're so impressed by the contrast, sharpness and three-times brighter images of OLED displays, we only wish we had a room large enough or a bank account big enough to accommodate such a behemoth. Never mind that, you can't buy one of these yet anyway. Wait about five years, and these displays will fill entire walls at bargain prices.

From the show floor, here's a video of the screen:

TransferJet: Put that USB cable away for good

Imagine never needing to connect your USB cable to transfer photos from your camera to your PC. OK, yeah, Eye-Fi cards let you do that already, but it's a little roundabout, sending your pics to a server via the Web, then transferring them to your computer. TransferJet wireless tech does the same thing, just directly. And faster.
The technology has actually been kicking around for a while, unveiled by Sony a couple of years ago. Now it appears to gaining momentum, with Toshiba recently joining the 40 or so companies developing TransferJet products. The idea is to make file transfers ridiculously easy: When you want to share or move files between devices, just hold put them an inch or two away from each other, and the transfer happens automatically. There's an initial setup to keep it secure, but the short range alone will keep most unwanted connections away.
Because of the short range, the 4.48GHz tech consumes very little power. And the speed is pretty good -- 560 megabits per second (375 Mpbs effective), better than USB 2.0. Checking out a demo of TransferJet here at CEATEC, we were able to check out photos we took on a big screen seconds after we took them. We're sold. When can we get it?
