LeWeb08 is Europe’s biggest and best Web 2.0 conference in Paris featuring some of the worlds most influencial web 2.0 people. Featuring talks, debates and demonstrations. I will be doing dozens of video interviews there with anyone that wants to talk about their ideas and opinions about the Internet, talk about what they are doing to make the web a better place.
I will post a video about this within days, as well as post 12 videos that I recently filmed in Germany of the latest gadgets.
Sanyo releases this new compact cool looking HD camcorder which increases performance with a new processor. It now records full 1080p video, it records 720p at 60 frames per second, and it can also shoot at a lower resolution of 448×336 at 300 frames per second mode, suitable to shoot action sequences to then watch in slow motion on Youtube. I have been shooting all of my HD videos using the Sanyo HD1000 since February, and so, I might be tempted in upgrading to the Sanyo HD1010 and perhaps then release all my videos in a 1080p 7mbit/s DivX HD versions as well.
In this video review, I take the new Archos 5 out in the daylight to see how sunlight readable the new 4.8″ screen is, I log-onto some nabours open WiFi access points, I test it in the public transportation and do the worlds first Archos 5 test in a metro.
Toshiba releases this new DVD player with Cell processor based HD upscaling technology. In this video I wonder though why Toshiba doesn’t at least support playback of HD video formats such as DivX HD, H264 HD and WMV HD. Since a single layer DVD can hold a 2 hour 720p movie in those formats and a dual layer DVD can hold 2 hours at 1080p in those formats. Toshiba, I think, should also build an Ethernet port into their players to support up to HD quality video-on-demand services.
This past few days, my video of the HiVision miniNote has been seen by over 100 thousand people thanks to links from Slashdot, Gizmodo and Digg. But at IFA 2008, I actually saw a Laptop by Menq International Ltd called the EasyPC E760 that was advertised as being even cheaper at only $89 per laptop. It runs on a Samsung ARM processor, has a 7″ 480×272 resolution screen and runs Windows CE with some customized browser, word processing, Skype and media player.

Showing the speed and compatibility of the Opera browser in this Archos 5 product that is being released right now. It has a 4 times faster ARM Cortex processor by Texas Instruments, which significantly increases the browsing experience making this a full Internet Media Tablet experience. In this video review I am showing and testing many different graphics heavy websites.
