A powerful PC, users can input information either through its keyboard or with a stylus on its screen, and by means of its Bluetooth capability, the Toshiba Portege will connect unconsciously to a personal network of devices - from printers to network connections, and mobile phones to PDAs.
The Portege 3500 tablet PC is the latest in a line of Toshiba products to incorporate CSR's proven BlueCore silicon for Bluetooth.
The new Portege is rich in features, allowing its applications to extend far further than those of a standard PC.

Phillips added, "We are delighted that Toshiba has chosen BlueCore to Bluetooth-enable their latest tablet and notebook PCs.
This is further endorsement of CSR from a leading PC OEM and consolidates our own leading position in the silicon space".
