Scroll forward to 4min in the video for a review of the Sony NWZ-X1050 oled walkman. Sony is going to sell only 1000 pieces on the German market, probably it’s because the oled screen is hard and complicated to manufacture at this moment.
Sony has a pretty huge impressive booth, kind of like typical for Sony. They must be spending millions of euros on this interior design thing, unless they re-use lights and stuff at each conference. Anyways, the Sony hall is big and fun.
4.8″ 800×480 Android Tablet with built-in GPS, 8GB flash storage, it can playback video formats up to D1 resolution, it has WiFi built-in as well, 3G could be built-in as well “in the next 3 months”. Philip Zhou, Overseas Sales Manager at http://www.smit.com.cn shows it to us in this video.
They are not announcing any price at this moment, I am guessing that this Android MID could be sold for cheap, around or less than 200 dollars.
It runs Maemo 0.9 embedded Linux on a Marvell ARM processor. It has 4GB built-in flash memory with MicroSD memory expansion slot. Integrated 3G, WiFi on a nice 800×480 4.3″ touchscreen. It’s part of the big embedded Linux push by China Telecom to bring more functional smart mobile devices in the hands of Chinese people and ready to export worldwide. Stephen Kwan, Director of http://www.chinaoptima.com shows us the product.
This is the video of the full actual keynote presentation in Berlin at IFA 2009 for the Toshiba JournE home media tablet by Marco Perino, General Manager, EMEA Digital Products and Services at Toshiba Europe Gmbh.
Toshiba is getting a lot of attention for their new Windows CE based Home Media Tablet. It’s got a 7″ 800×480 screen, 1GB of internal memory but XDHC memory card support (new version of SDHC) for up to 64GB of memory expansion. It will ahve a dock for charging and HDMI output of 720p videos in DivX and WMV formats. There will be applications but all based on whatever is available for Windows CE. The price in Europe at launch later this year will be 249€.

This device is so far the most awesome I have seen at IFA 2009, it’s a 5″ Smartbook, one of the worlds first that will be released running on an ARM Cortex A8 processor by Freescale. Running Ubuntu 9.04 for ARM optimized for this ARM processor.
In this video I boot-up the machine (you probably wouldn’t need to boot it up really, it’s got 10 hours battery life and can probably go into standby just fine with instant resume from standby). I go on certain websites like Engadget.com over WiFi and I ask the Sharp PC-Z1 products representative a bunch of questions about price (340€), availability (September, that’s now folks!), weight (she forgot, but you can find that online).
This is the reason to go to IFA, wow awesome!
My suggestion: Sharp should sell this for 200 dollars with a 7″ screen (cause there is space on this form factor) and it’ll be the worldwide winner.
Showing all the latest washing machines and fridges. But also talking a little bit about the new Samsung NC140 netbook and the Google Android phones by Samsung with AMOLED screens. More videos of the Samsung Android devices and other Samsung stuff will be posted later during IFA.
Video from the Panasonic press conference at IFA 2009, where they launch a new compact DSLR camera the Panasonic GF1 as well as they are doing a big deal out of showing 3D Full HD HDTVs for the first time. 3D glasses are required. The producer of James Cameron new HD movie Avatar is on stage explaining the point of 3D movies a bit. Pricing for 3D HDTVs is yet unknown. Panasonic’s 3D Blu-ray players will support outputting 3D HD from 3D Blu-ray movie discs.
I don’t really like 3D glasses, they make a fuzzy image. I wonder if Panasonic has managed to make the image of nicer quality. I’ll post more videos of this and other new Panasonic products later.
