Mary-Lou Jepsen gives an update on Pixel Qi at CES 2011
Will it be in iPad2? Will it be in Kindle4? Of course she can’t say anything about it, but I really hope so. Was Pixel Qi delayed a bit because of the success of the iPad slowing down potential investments in Netbook screens? How did they manage financing their startup through the economic turmoils of the past couple of years? Pixel Qi introduces a 7″ model that is going to be mass manufactured by CPT after February, after the Chinese new year celebrations. The 10.1″ 16/9 and the 9.7″ 4:3 screens also are due to be mass manufactured soon.

I’m not really supposed to try to film this, but here it is.

Archos 70 Internet Tablet on Leo Laporte’s This Week In Google episode 69
Posted by – November 19, 2010
As I told you in yesterday’s MacBreak weekly 221 post, last Sunday as I was in the Silicon Valley to video blog the ARM Technology Conference for my http://ARMdevices.net site, I had fun traveling up to Petaluma and bring Leo Laporte some of the Archos Gen8 tablets (70, 43 and 32) so he could test them out and let his Twit gang also play with them. So that they could compare those with Apple and Samsung tablets. The time code in this “This Week In Google” episode 69 where they start talking about Archos is around the 5th minute.
