Shenzhen Bly Electronics shows $60 VIA Wondermedia based laptops
Posted by – April 20, 2011
First seen a bit over a year ago such as in this video, the VIA ARM9 Wondermedia SoC and software solution is one of the platforms that makes it easy to make cheap laptops and tablets. Chrome OS software or Honeycomb seems to be needed for this type of $60 ARM Powered laptop solution to start to become viable solution. But probably also that faster processor with more RAM is also needed for full speed web browsing performance.

Video-review of the NEC/Renesas based dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 533Mhz capacitive 7″ tablet from livall.cn (desert safari and camel version)
Posted by – April 20, 2011
Since I know that you can’t wait for me to post more Android tablet videos, I decided to start filming my review in the desert while doing the desert safari and riding a camel, so you can further check out this cool new NEC/Renesas 533Mhz Dual-Core ARM Cortex-A9 7″ capacitive tablet that I got from livall.cn. I’ll post my full real video-review once I am back in Copenhagen later today.
You can also watch these other Qatar videos that I filmed:
1. Arrived in Qatar
2. Walking the Souq Waqif, the Corniche and checking out the Doha skyscrapers at night
3. Desert Safari with Arabian Adventure Qatar (includes a fun Video-review of the NEC/Renesas based dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 533Mhz capacitive 7″ tablet from livall.cn)
I’m in Qatar 2 (more Hong Kong videos to be uploaded tomorrow)

The upload speed is not fast enough here in my Doha hotel to upload and post more of my Hong Kong Android tablet videos. So I will resume doing that tomorrow when I am back on my fast upload connection in Copenhagen Denmark. For now you can watch this second video from Doha Qatar where I show you how it looks to walk the Souq Waqif, the Corniche and to check out the Doha Skyscrapers at night.

I’m in Qatar, video-uploads/postings resumes when bandwidth is found

So I uploaded and posted 81 videos from Shenzhen and Hong Kong during this past week and I still have over a dozen or so videos to post from that awesome trip. I will also spend some time to compile for you a “Best of Shenzhen and Hong Kong”, listing all the top trends and top most interesting videos among all those so you can see everything about the status of the Chinese consumer electronics industry in a summary post. But for now I am on my way back to Copenhagen, spending a couple days in Doha Qatar as the stop-over is free and cause that was cheaper than flying the usual way over Frankfurt, London or Amsterdam. So I thought, I might as well take the Qatar Airways option and check out a Golf country on the way back, even in the 34°C hot sun. I’ll still upload the remaining videos from this hotel room but upload speeds are not as fast as in Hong Kong on a 3G HSDPA sim card.

Honeycomb at the Rockchip booth (just keyrings for now..)
Posted by – April 16, 2011
The optimal thing for Rockchip would be that Google provide them with full Honeycomb source code access as soon as possible (if they haven’t already secretly gotten access to that source code), so that they can start working on optimizing the support for Honeycomb on their new RK2918 processor platform.

Malata PC-B1002, Malata PC-B1301, Tegra2 Laptops
Posted by – April 16, 2011
Malata announces new ARM Powered Laptops at HKTDC Hong Kong Electronics Fair. They are not ready to show working prototypes of them yet. There is a 10″ similar to Toshiba AC-100, but also a 13.3″ ARM Powered Laptop! In my opinion, it’s important software for ARM Powered Laptops gets ready also for these products to be commercially viable. Honeycomb might do the trick, with slight Laptop-oriented optimizations and its awesome new large screen optimized multi-tab web browser, but Chrome OS for ARM may be even better for this type of product.
