Update: I just finished recording a live Ustream stream using the Everun over HSDPA. It works! 6 hours should be possible with the extended battery. Thats about 700gms in weight. Frame rate could be better but I think I might be able to tweak some things to improve that.
See below for final video.
Something that was on my list last week but went straight to the top when I saw Josh Bancfroft’s photo of Justin from Justin TV. The reason it got onto my list in the first place was a short conversation with JKK of JKKMobile and something Josh twittered:
Justin.tv uses an off the shelf Sony Vaio subnotebook, with EVDO revA on Sprint. Gets 7 hrs of streaming with the ext. battery.
Now I think I can beat that on size weight, price and battery life by using the Everun UMPC. I’m testing it out today over an HSDPA connection and members can follow it here on… I was testing it out earlier on UMPCPortal.com/live and it worked quite well. My only problem is that it didn’t work with my flat rate HSDPA connection. Battery life looked like 3 hours on the standard battery. Not bad considering it weighs 500g and can be put on a belt!
Here’s an introduction video. I’ll add a conclusion when i’ve finished the testing.
And here’s an early test using HSDPA. (This is the actual stream recorded via UStream.)>br/>
