My mobile reporting kit will change dramatically for CES 2011. I’ve just heard that ill be able to borrow an N8 to partner with my Galaxy Tab which, considering I’m doing a lot of mobile blogging on the Tab now, gives me the opportunity to try something very different indeed. How about a no-bag challenge? The would mean leaving the Netbook and main camera in the hotel during the day and doing everything on the N8 and Tab. Of course its possible but the question is, what is the quality going to be like and will it be efficient to try and write posts on the Tab.
Considering I just wrote this one in under 5 minutes using the wordpress app. on the Tab, while sitting on a sofa keeping an eye on my baby, I think it will be surprisingly good. Watch out for a detailed post on Carrypad soon.

Should be interesting.
I would take camera and keep it in the hotel just in case, remember N8 is only a phone, not a camera at the end of the day.
I used N8 and found its camera pleasure to use, very fast indeed with great shutter button.
Indoor videos however looked better recorded in VGA than in HD (they were a bit jerky indoors, not sure it was just my unit or somebody can confirm that). Sound quality is outstanding, better then my Canon S1 IS(very important for reviews and interviews i suppose).

That’s useful info because I have a canon S2 IS that I usually use for VGA recording. Audio on that is good.
S2 and Netbook will be in the hotel and I will probably use them for my live blogging due to USB trigger-transfer on S2IS.
At the end of the day this is really an experiment to see ‘wahts missing’ from these mobile devices.
Again, thx for fedback.
