JVC's 4GB Mystery Product
08/19/2004 07:12 PM
Details are very slim about JVC's new "product." As a
matter of fact, I can go ahead and list everything made public right
here for you:
"A new style," "A new look," "4GB," and "MPEG-2."
Though these details could be describing a new type of turkey
sandwich, the general consensus thus far is some sort of new
palm-sized video camera from the company. More info is scheduled to be
announced on September 19th; I personally hope it's a turkey
sandwich.

JVC's Blu-Ray/DVD Hybrid Disc
01/03/2005 10:33 AMJust like the recently-developed HD DVD/DVD
dual-disc format from Toshiba, JVC is showing a new prototype
triple-layer Blu-Ray/DVD hybrid that puts a 25GB Blu-Ray layer on top
of a coventional two-layer 8.5GB DVD disc. Dual format discs are hoped
to ease the transition from DVD to whatever format will win the
upcoming standards war (probably Blu-Ray).

JVC's Interlink 7310 mini-laptop
11/19/2003 11:48 AMDesignTechnica review of JVC's mini-laptop, the Interlink 7310. At
just under 2 pounds, the 7310 lays claim to being the smallest
Centrino laptop on the market. The 7310 isn't as dimunitive as Sony's
lilliputian U101 laptop, but with its squint-inducing 8.9-inch display
and cramped keyboard, it is approaching the limits of how small a
laptop can get before it becomes impossible to get a sustained amount
of work done with it. The 7310 is currently available in Japan, but it
appears unlikely that JVC will ever sell the laptop here in the US.

notebook sales-
08/01/2004 03:30 AMAccording to a recent study by Current Analysis, unit sales of
notebooks equipped with a widescreen 15.4-inch display have steadily
continued to climb throughout the first half of 2004. As of June 30,
the widescreen market accounted for 48% of all notebooks sold,
compared to only 15% in December 2003. The growth represents the
highest share yet for the widescreen models since its introduction in
the spring of 2003 and demonstrates widescreen systems are selling in
greater numbers than its traditional square counterparts. [PRWEB Aug

JVC's Mystery Hard Drive Camcorders
Revealed: They're Hard Drive Camcorders
09/14/2004 11:18 AM
Oops, I almost forgot about these new cameras
announced from JVC - the ones they've been hyping up to no end as
their big "mystery product." Basically, they're camcorders with hard
drives in them - a 4GB microdrive, to be exact. They look pretty cool
and everything, but they're really most interesting because they are
the first consumer camcorder with a built-in hard drive, not because
they do anything particularly unique. That being said, I fully support
this idea, and think most consumer recording technology should move to
hard drives as soon as possible (I'll be waiting until you can get
something with a bigger hard drive than 4GB for less than $1,500,
though).
Both models (the GZ-MC100 and the GZ-MC200) can record up to 9Mbps
in MPEG2, though, which is DVD quality.

As a

isn't half bad - 14-inch screen, Athlon XP-M 1600+, Wi-Fi (b), and
DVD-ROM. Add a little extra memory to boost up the 128MB stock setup
and you've got yourself a pretty decent little machine for browsing
porn and downloading term papers. Plus it comes with a legal copy of
XP Home, so you'll only have to go to jail for five years when you
blow that away and install XP Pro (don't quote me on the legal

The future of the notebook?
The future of the notebook?
04/12/2005 05:21 PMFrom technological and design point of view, the notebook has never
ceased to be a source of surprises. From futuristic colors to ultra
high tech designs and ultra shock resistant cases the notebook has
tried them all. In the last time, it looks like the searches have
stopped and that there are two trends that dominate the notebook
industry. The first one considers the notebook the replacement of the
desktop and consequently the producers fit their computers with the
latest 3D graphic chipsets and a lot of multimedia options at the
expense of battery life and weight.
The followers of the second trend consider that mobility has to be the
key feature of the notebooks, and therefore a weight bigger than 1.5
kilograms is regarded as blasphemy. It doesn’t matter that such a
notebook is starting to look like a keyboard that has a LCD attached
to it and that producers are giving up on every component that can add
to the weight of the notebook: optical devices, supplementary
batteries, or high capacity hard disks; the components are still
available but only in the form of docks.

The Birth of the Notebook
The Birth of the Notebook
03/22/2005 04:59 PMMark Frauenfelder:
Chris Null has written a great article about the early history of
portable PCs for Mobile PC magazine.
Inspired by the IBM 5100 and Xerox's Notetaker -- a 48-pound
machine with a keyboard that folded over the display -- Osborne's
eponymous computer was cobbled together from the cheapest parts he
could find. The Osborne 1 hit the market at $1,795, with dual floppy
drives and a 5-inch CRT. Flip the keyboard over the front, latch it
on, and your 24.5-pound computer was ready to go wherever you needed
it. Osborne had amazing success with the product, but it was fatally
crushed by the birth of Compaq in 1983, which copied the Osborne
carefully while adding one killer feature: IBM
compatibility.
Link
UPDATE: Stefan says: "I actually worked on
an Osborne in the early '80s. The college SF club
had one. We used it to lay out the schedule and generate individually
numbered tickets for our SF convention. I recall using the included
BASIC to create a program that would generate a Superbowl betting
grid.
"One of the big selling points for the Osborne was the software.
The
company pioneered the concept of bundling. In addition to the CP/M
operating system, you got WordStar, a spreadsheet, a flat-file
database
program and so on. It even had a nice app for reading and writing
PC-format disks.
"The computer itself was, frankly, a piece of shit. The monitor was
52
columns wide; when your typing reached the end of a line the display
shifted left. It was terribly susceptible to static shock. You learned
to save your work every few minutes in dry weather, because resets and
lockups were a regular occurrence."

Looks like the Computex
internet cock-up has sussed itself out long enough for The Register to
file this report profiling an eminently internetted sub-notebook from
Taiwanese vendor Dialogue, branded the 'Flybook.' Not only does the
Transmeta Crusoe-powered laptop sport WiFi (802.11b sadly) and
optional Bluetooth, but there's even a built-in tri-band GPRS modem,
as well. The 1024 x 600 8.9-inch screen would be "ideal for DVD
playback if there was a built-in optical drive" notes The Reg's Tony
Smith, but in a sub-notebook this size an external drive is fairly
standard. The Flybook even has a touch-sensitive screen that can be
flipped about like a Tablet PC, although it runs regular Windows XP.
Looks like a great little notebook, and although there is no pricing
information as of yet, you'll be able to pick up one in black, white,
silver, red, or blue as soon as they find a Western vendor.

It's funny -- not
'haha' but 'heh' -- how over the last couple of months the FlipStartHQ
has transmogrified into Handtops.com. Mostly, by my estimation,
because the FlipStart is taking so damn long to come out. Still, if
they weren't doing such a good job, we wouldn't keep linking them, and
this profile of the Dialogue FlyBook, the super-connected
ultra-portable laptop that probably presses the upper boundary between
'palmtop' and 'laptop' is as good as we've come to expect, without a
ton of new information, necessarily, but a nice overview of the laptop
that aims to make sure its users stay connected, hell or high water,
or at least Bluetooth or GPRS (or WiFi or Modem or Ethernet).

If an
ultra-portable laptop/tablet with a SIM card slot -- yes, like those
found normally in GSM mobile phones -- makes your gadget dork fluff up
a bit, you might want to check out this review of the Dialogue Flybook
-- the first English review I've seen. Besides being tiny, the best
thing about the Flybook is its extra connectivity. Not only does it
have the standard Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but it also has GSM/GPRS
capabilities (hence the SIM card) so that you can, in lieu of any
other, faster connection, hop on your cellular carrier's GSM network
and get internet wherever you are.
The Flybook technically isn't a handtop, but it's not too hefty,
either, as you can see in the picture. It does look bigger than
a DVD case, though -- no matter what Handtops.com says.

learn to do it in a sentence or three like me.) HP Compaq (HP's
Compaq? HP Compaq's) new nx9110 is a solidly built, well performing
widescreen laptop that can be had for a perfectly reasonable price
considering what you get (around £1200; it's UK-only I believe).
And as much as I might want to give him hell about it, Gordon does
