Sony has outed its new VAIO P. Five colors and a host of added features including an accelerometer, two touchpads, 3G, GPS, and compass. The 8-inch VAIO P packing a 1600×768 TFT LCD runs Windows 7 and is powered by Intel’s Atom Z540 with GMA 500 graphics. Storage is via a 64GB SSD and comes with 2GB of RAM. Battery life is a claimed five hours. Available in June for a price that has not been determined. Source: Sony

The P580 business notebook from Samsung sports a 15.6-inch matte LCD with a 1366×768 pixel format, which is a 16:9 aspect ratio. That’s peculiar. Why would a business-oriented notebook need a decidedly consumer aspect ratio of 16:9? Business customers definitely do not need this. A more appropriate wide aspect ratio for a business notebook would be 16:10 that gives more vertical room to work on documents, slides, spreadsheets, etc. And then there’s another thing.

I think we are on the verge of resolution-independent operating systems (read “Resolution Independence“) that can take advantage of extremely high-resolution displays. And when I say resolution I mean Pixels Per Inch (PPI). With a high-PPI display we can have text and images that look about as good as those found in magazines. The P580 boasts a 100.45 PPI resolution, which is quite average, for notebook LCDs from a few years back. Today the average seems to be 110PPI or above. To get there the pixel format in a 16:9 aspect ratio should be at least 1600×900, but with a more appropriate 16:10 aspect ratio the pixel format would be 1680×1050 with a 127PPI resolution.

And then what’s with the offset keyboard? Do we really need a separate numeric keypad? Source: Engadget

Taoviet has taken hold of the next generation iPhone and tore it up. An Apple-branded processor is on deck, probably the same or similar one that’s powering the iPad. This version is different than the one Gizmodo had: two screws on the bottom are gone. Looks a lot cleaner but no doubt it will be more difficult to open. This is interesting as previous generation iPhones have sported these two screws. But there are rumored stories of Steve Jobs’ hatred for screws. I don’t think we’ll be too surprised at how the next generation iPhone will look like when Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (read Apple WWDC: June 7, 2010) comes around in June.

Sony’s NEX micro-DSLRs are now up for pre-order. The NEX-5 with the 16mm pancake lens is US$649.99. The NEX-5 with an optically stabilized 18-55mm lens is $50 more at $699.99. I’m predicting aggressive price cuts from Panasonic and Olympus to be announced shortly. A DSLR-sized APS-C image sensor at these prices is a no-brainer, but I’m not buying one (read Sony NEX-5 Preview) Source: Sony

HTC’s EVO 4G demo running on Sprint shows video phone calls are right around the corner, a significant development since we can’t even get a decent voice call via 3G using Skype. With the up-coming iPhone that most likely will have a front-facing camera, video phone calls will hit the masses and hopefully AT&T won’t screw things up this time. Source: Engadget

By the way, Sprint will be selling the HTC EVO 4G on June 4 for US$199 with a new two-year contract. Before all discounts the full price is $450. You’ll also need to budget for an additional $10 Premium Data add-on (no data limit) in addition to the regular data plan. Unlike Verizon’s Palm Pre Plus where you get a 5-device mobile hotspot for free, the EVO 4G’s 8-device WiFi hotspot will be a stiff $29.99. Unlike Verizon and like AT&T simultaneous voice and data is possible.

Dell’s U2311H is a simply-designed (I like) 23-inch LCD monitor sporting an IPS TFT LCD and a very affordable price of US$300. The exact IPS panel is probably LG Display’s e-IPS (read LG Display (LPL) 23″ e-IPS 1080p LCD Monitor Panel). The design looks to be business oriented but the aspect ratio is 16:9, quite consumer, with a pixel format of 1920×1080. I would think business users would prefer a 16:10 with 1920×1200. Other specs include: DisplayPort, DVI, VGA, 1000:1 CR, 300 cd/m2 of brightness, 8ms GTG response time and an unfortunate CCFL backlight.

A “3-Year Premium Panel Advanced Exchange Service” is included. If the U2311H has problems that cannot be resolved over the phone Dell will ship out a replacement unit the very next business day. All you need to do is use the same box to ship out the defective one. Now that’s nice. The U2311H as well as the slightly smaller 21.5-inch U2211H has been added to the IPS LCD Monitor database.

I’m sitting in our old room. My brother and I shared this room when we were young. Next to me is a myLGtv box. The Internet connection in this house has a bandwidth of 100mbps, which is quite common in Korea. For that fat of a pipe in the US it would cost a serious amount, probably more than $100 per month, if it is available at all. In Korea, thanks to intense competition, the monthly bill is just around $20.

The little black myLGtv box has a lot of interesting services. One of them is called myPC and it accesses shared videos, images and music off of a PC. You can also insert a USB stick on the back of the myLGtv box to do the same thing. You can play games such as Go, sing songs (karaoke), learn English, purchase movies via VOD, etc. Terrestrial channels, including a lot of HD versions, total about 100. The only feature lacking is Internet-based video integration; US-based examples would be YouTube and Hulu. Oh, there is one more feature missing: DVR. So here in Korea there is already something similar to Google TV with the exception of Internet-based video integration. But an Internet-integrated TV-watching experience is what Google TV is all about, right?

I might be naive in thinking this, but don’t we already have a perfect device that does a lot of these things already? By using a full-blown computer with a TV tuner attached to it we can watch pretty much anything we want: Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, all the channels the TV tuner brings in, DVD, Blu-ray, etc. With a proper NAS there is access to not only the movie archives but also the hundreds of thousands of photographs as well as terabytes of music. Even the enormous hard drives inside the computer will make it simple to store hundreds of shows via DVR. Why are we in such a hurry to find other solutions when we already have one? Engadget got all the folks together for their opinions on Google TV and is worth a read.
