Sascha and Nicole from netbooknews.com kindly invited me to join them for a meeting with Freescale this morning. I have a video that i’ll process later but in the meantime, here are some pics. Note that this is a reference design, not the final sexy variant that you might find in the shops.

CES Proving Tough, and it’s only just starting.

Posted on 07 January 2010

Despite what seemed like a double-day of work and a whole day without mobile internet yesterday, I hardly had time to publish any content at all which wasn’t really my intention but I guess that’s how it’s going to go for the next few days at CES as the madness builds to a crescendo today, the first real day of CES. I do have some news though and I’ve got some videos and information to sort through and post on an individual basis but here’s a quick run-down of what […]

HP Slate. Origami take 2? Video (and very few details.)

Posted on 07 January 2010

I’m looking at this and wondering if Microsoft and HP simply jumping on the wave of tablet hype and trying to break through with some viral marketing. There’s no real information available being given on this tablet so I can only assume it was a marketing move. It looks like a 10 inch tablet with multitouch capacitive screen running Windows 7 and not dissimilar to a device I had hands-on with tonight.  It’s not a bad thing at all and I’m happy to see it but I wish this crazy […]
