I was lucky to be able to ask Sundar Pichai, Google Vice President of Product Management some questions during the Google Cloud Computing Q&A session at the Computex 2010 consumer electronics conference in Taipei Taiwan. Here are the questions I was able to ask during the Q&A:
1. Chrome browser as just an app in Android Smartbooks?
2. Google Marketplace on Tablets? (this video)
3. Native Code to support video and photo editing in Chrome?

This is the $50 mass produced Android Google TV based on ARM Processors, that could be coming soon to revolutionize the way people get Internet and Interactive content on their TVs. The ARM Powered Google TV boxes will obviously be much cheaper, smaller and better than the ones using Intel. Look forward to lots of ARM Powered Google TV news to come on ARMdevices.net during the next days, weeks and months.
Innoversal has a good looking Pixel Qi tablet design, based on Intel Atom for now, with an ARM Powered one coming soon as well. It runs Chromium OS, Android or Windows 7.
After my previous video unveiling the Shogo tablet, Daniel Schneersohn, representative of Realease is adressing some of the user comments that were in the youtube video and on the blog posts.
Here’s a pre mass production sample of the new 10″ capacitive Android Tablet by Hard Kernel. Find more informations and specs at http://hardkernel.com. Check how nicely it outputs the Android user interfaces on the huge HDTV and can also be used for pretty advanced 3D games.
This STMicroelectronics STi7108 development platform demonstrates what the future of set top box user interfaces will look like, with support for multiple live video views and pretty advanced 720p or even 1080p playing on the HDTV of 3D games like Quake 3.
Here’s a new 7″ Android tablet design presented by Browan Communications at Computex 2010, with a form factor related with the new Sony Dash, mostly for home use, perhaps as an interactive alarm clock.
A new TFT LCD based ultra high resolution wacom touch e-reader. With long battery runtime as no backlights are needed.
Comparison of the Pixel Qi screen and the iPad screen in broad sunlight. Pixel Qi wins.
Keenhigh mediatech is showing this awesome looking Telechips based Android 2.1 set-top-box at Computex. This is close to what the ARM Powerd Google TV devices might look like. Add to it the HDMI pass-through and IR blaster of the Google TV spec, and add perhaps an ARM Cortex A9 processor, and you will have the potentially $99 Android set-top-box.
Mary Lou Jepsen demonstrates the Pixel Qi wide angle view capacitive touch 10″ screen, with anti-glare layer, wacom touch, two actual Pixel Qi prototypes as well as she explains how the Pixel Qi screen is actually made.
It has everything one needs and will be available from end of year 2010.
Here is one very cool looking, ultra thin and ultra light tablet by Asus powered by Windows CE7 and running on an NVidia Tegra processor. It’s only 0,48 inches (1,21cm) thick, sports a touchscreen and a built in camera, supports Adobe Flash and is said to have 10hrs of battery life. Asus announced its release for end of 2010/beginning of 2011 but did not reveal the price. According to rumours it will start at $399.
Cool looking pocketable Android powered full computer system by Inventec.
Imagine being able to combine the Laptop, Tablet and e-reader into one convertible device, then having a screen technology that enables you to take it outside in the sun! Geeks outdoors in the sun, how cool is that going to be? Imagine also being able to turn off the backlight, increase up to 5x the battery runtime of your Tablet compared to for example the iPad. At Computex 2010, Pixel Qi is finally releasing the 3Qi screen, here demonstrating 10″ capacitive touch screen support and with half a dozen or more major partners. Here are some details from Mary Lou Jepsen, CTO of Pixel Qi, about the current status of the mass manufacturing of this technology. Look forward to many more Pixel Qi related videos from Computex 2010 uploaded right here on http://ARMdevices.net
This is the QOOQ tablet, perhaps worlds first commercially available consumer 10.1″ capacitive tablet, has been available only in France since October 2009 (many months before the iPad), it uses a glass panel which is also useful for it to resist the attacks of ingredients in the kitchen as it is water and smudge proof. This product features many interactive recipes, some of them from Frances top chefs, with step-by-step videos. The content is streamed from the QOOQ Akamai servers, over Wifi or Ethernet, with additional recipes being added over the Internet.
The QOOQ is released by the French company Unowhy, the first such customized design released on the Shogo tablet platform from Hong-Kong company Realease, and runs on a Freescale i.MX37 processor with Linux. It currently is sold only in France for 349€.
Here’s a recent build of Chromium OS running on the ARM Cortex A8 Freescale i.MX51 processor platform in a desktop form factor, using a keyboard and mouse on a DVI monitor.
Ubuntu has been working over these past couple of years with ARM and ARM partners such as Freescale to optimize the Ubuntu OS for ARM Processors. Here’s a demonstration of the latest version of Ubuntu 10.4 running on a Freescale i.MX51 development board. In theory this Ubuntu desktop could be sold for below $100 without the screen, keyboard and mouse.
Realease is launching this Freescale i.MX37 (ARM11) and i.MX51 (ARM Cortex A8) based Linux open-source Tablet. With a whole range of customized features, on an open HTML5, Qt, Flash even Android-compatible development platform, customizable designs, 1 external USB, 2 internal USB (for adding internal USB 3G dongle and other), motion sensor, camera, ambient light sensor, and more.
It is meant for software developers who want a platform to develop or port their solutions for B2B usages like medical, planes, hotels, or any niche consumer markets where a closed solution is required (unlike the iPad) check for instance the QOOQ culinary coach, a tablet that is derived from the Shogo predecessor.
