Upload speeds aren’t that good from Taipei, at least for those that I could find at hotels, at the Computex press rooms and at netcafe. I get 20kb/s upload to max 50kb/s upload speeds, so uploading my HD quality videos takes a long time and often cuts off before the end of the uploads.
Anyways, I will make an effort to try to hook onto Hyatt’s 10mbit/s upload connection at some point tomorrow if I cannot publish enough of the videos by uploading all night and publishing them tomorrow morning.
I have more awesome videos coming of the ARM based laptops! Nvidia Tegra is really fantastic! And all the other ARM based laptops are going to be uploaded here during the next couple of days, and we are talking very extensive HD quality videos showing the products up close and in detail.
Many other types of products as well coming up, so just please keep checking and subscribe to the RSS feed.
This is it, the revolutionary LCD screen by Pixel Qi that turns your netbook into a Kindle by the flip of a switch. As you can see in this video, thanks to Pixel Qi technology, your next LCD screens can now be very usable outdoors as well under the sunlight, in a very high resolution black and white mode and also keep a full color and bright back light indoors mode.
This is a demonstration from the first batch of the first working prototypes of this screen, and as you can see, it already looks amazing. Mass production of these screens are planned to be launched soon and should be available in any netbook (and later other devices such as smartphones) as long as the manufacturers decide that they want to integrate it in their products.
