Toshiba Places online TV platform

Excellent presentation ; Personalisation features for multiple users

Not enough content ; BBC iPlayer and YouTube not properly integrated into system ; Built-in camera too low quality to deliver facial recognition reliably

Hopefully Toshiba will be able to greatly boost its Places content over 2012, and won’t be hamstrung in these efforts by the fact that it’s seemingly a rather small ‘player’ when it comes to negotiations compared with many of its rivals.
