SInce posting our YouTube video reviews is so easy I decided to post a couple of our most popular video reviews again in case anyone missed them.  This is Kevin’s review of the FlyBook V33i:

Here is the second post popular (rated by downloads) in the YouTube edition:

VGA iTunes compatible version (MP4 format, 640 x 480, 87.4 MB,13 minutes)

VGA Windows Media Player version (WMV format, 640 x 480, 71 MB, 13 minutes)

The Microsoft Origami Project team was generous enough to provide us the forthcoming Origami Expereience software and we give you a quick tour. Unlike the original Origami interface, I think I’ll be using this new one on my UMPC running Vista. You’ll see how everything is accessible and usable without a stylus and the performance is nothing short of astounding!

Watch the brief video and then watch for the Origami Experience software to become available around Vista launch time!

VGA Windows Media Player version (WMV format, 640 x 480, 242 MB, 44 minutes)

What a powerhouse! The Fujitsu Stylistic ST5112 is all power and all slate. The 12.1-inch Tablet PC with the Core Duo processor runs for hours and hours After using the slate for a few weeks, I share some of the following aspects:

• Complete walk around of the device
• Thoughts on the pen and single speaker
• Skype demo with the dual array microphone
• Viewing angle of the screen and usage of the VGA out capabilities
• Hardware buttons
• Using the fingerprint sensor
• Covering the included applications
• Demonstrating the "warm" battery swap
• Final thoughts

Three quick production notes:

1. Lighting was a tad poor in my office studio, so the brightness isn’t what we’d normally like to provide; I apologize.
2. Due to a lack of sunlight, I had to do a separate demo of the view anywhere screen on a different day; you’ll see this in the final two minutes of the video. I nominate this segment as the "worst demo of a great screen. ever."
3. We now have a QVGA version of the video up on our YouTube channel if you want a lower-resolution version streamed.

A special thanks goes out to Allegiance Technology Partners for loaning us the Fujitsu Stylistic ST 5112 Tablet PC!

You asked for it and you’ve got it.  All of our video reviews going forward will now be available in two formats.  The full (VGA) version will now be produced in MP4 format, meaning those of you (like me) who use iTunes as your podcatcher will be able to get it right in iTunes.  Just subscribe to the jkOnTheRun Audio Edition using this button if you haven’t already. 

We will also produce a smaller bandwidth-friendly QVGA version in WMV format so you can get it the same way you’ve always used.  Since most of our podcasts are now in video we will change the name to jkOnTheRun Mobile Media Edition to reflect that fact.  The most recent video #28 has already been produced in MP4 format if you want to test it out in iTunes, just go to the show post and give it a shot.

Watch jkOnTheRun Audio Edition #28 here (WMV format, 320 x 240, 192MB, 52 minutes)

For the bandwidth-conscious, there’s a low-res version too. (WMV format, 320 x 240, 94 MB).

Hold your horses!  Before you get all excited because you missed show #27 just hold on and listen a minute.  It seems that running off the production crew in show #25 was a very bad move on my part and although this would be show #27 it’s labeled all over as show #28.  It really is show #27 so you haven’t missed a thing, just pretend the last show was #27 and everything will be all right.

This show is a video overview of the new Fujitsu P1610 Tablet PC and I think once you’ve seen this baby in action you’ll see why I like it so much.  It’s a mini-Tablet PC with an 8.9" touchscreen displaying 1280 x 768 and in the video you’ll see why it provides a complete Tablet PC experience without an active digitizer.  You’ll also see the first look at the port replicator and extended battery that provides 6 hours of ink time.

Enjoy the show and leave us some feedback about the Fujitsu.

Special thanks to Allegiance Technology Partners for supplying me with the review unit used in this video.  Visit their web site and see all the Tablety goodness they offer!

Sorry for the delay, but if you passed on our 216 MB video review of the FlyBook, we do have a 95 MB QVGA version available for you now. Think of it as one quarter of the screen size and storage space but with double the pleasure and panache. Or just download it because you put off the VGA download; we don’t care. Look at it this way: my ugly mug is only 1/4th the size….just like the little picture here. Oh, we’re just soooooo clever…..

Kevin mentioned Podlinez and the cool way you can listen to the latest episode of the MobileTechRoundup podcast on your cell phone and I tried it out and aside from the long distance call it’s really cool.  I visited Podlinez a few minutes ago and was amazed to see this:

Of course, the jkOnTheRun Audio Edition have been strictly video for months so I’m not sure what you’ll get if you dial that one but it’s pretty cool to have 3 podcasts that folks can dial up on their phone.

For our QVGA little-friends, we have a 320 x 240 version coming soon.

After spending two weeks with the Dialogue FlyBook V33i on loan from iCube, we figured it as time to share the experience with a video review. Topics we cover:

• Complete walk around of the device
• The excellent case
• Using the integrated WWAN capabilities for phone calls and Internet
• Comparing a native 1024 x 600 screen to a non-native screen, i.e.: the Q1
• FlyBook Control Center
• Keyboard usage and thoughts
• Mouse / joystick controls
• Alternatives to the Tablet PC OS and applications
• Touchscreen vectoring demonstration; how well does the V33i deal with palm rejection?
• Overall specs and final thoughts
• Stay tuned after the credits for a special "short feature".

The Samsung Q1 SSD is the Korean model of the Q1 that has no hard drive.  It has a blazing fast 32 GB solid state disk instead and iis the device I use every day in my work.  Well, you can see for yourself in this video shot in living color.  I try to show the Q1, lovingly named Flash, going through the paces I normally use it for daily and I hope it gives a little insight into how I can use such a small device with a little screen to be really productive.  Enjoy the show and let us know what you think.

I apologize for the buzzing noise in the background.  It was not there until the WMV file was spit out and too late for me to fix it.

UPDATE: For our QVGA little-friends, we have a 320 x 240 version video as well. 106 MB; great taste AND less filling! Just click the link above.

Yes, I’ve been hard at work trying to get Vista RC2 fully functional on the Q1 UMPC. Vista on its own is quite stable; it’s the little Samsung and touchscreen nuances that took some effort. So how does it work? What’s the performance like? Obviously, I can’t show every Vista feature in a short video (or even a large one apparently), so here’s a walkthrough of some features:

• Vista startup with sound and touchscreen (with some workarounds)
• Quick overview of the system tray icons
• Screen calibration
• Native TIP and the floating tip
• Vista search and Start
• New York Times Reader
• Windows Journal
• Windows Media Center for audio, games and video
• Windows Mobile Device Center and PDANet; didn’t work this time…that’s the nature of doing a video I guess!
• Speech Recognition demo
• Standby and Resume time
• Oops! I almost forgot the Screen Rotation and Screen Resolution switcher!
