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!

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!

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!

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!

With the new Apple announcements today, it became apparent to me that the new iTunes Movies would be a nice marriage of Microsoft Windows based hardware and Apple software. I decided to download both iTunes 7 as well as a movie. Initial thoughts:

• 640 x 480 resolution is pretty solid on a UMPC device
• The new iTunes interface is very slick and usable
• Audio quality of the movies is very good
• People have to realize we’re taking evolutionary steps towards downloadable high-def content; this was the next evolutionary step due to bandwidth and infancy of the high-def display market which is just now coming of age.
• I’d prefer to watch a downloaded VGA movie on a UMPC as opposed to carrying an optical drive and packaged content.

I just got a new DV camcorder so why not put it to the test? Vaja Cases was kind enough to send me three custom cases for devices that I have, so what could be better than a video review? In this brief review I get to show off custom cases for:

• The Apple iPod nano
• The Motorola RAZR V3 phone
• My XV6700 Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone; this case will fit any HTC Wizard or HTC Apace device

Vaja Cases are definitely upper tier cases as these three cases start at $55, $55 and $65 respectively. Are they worth the money? You’ll have to watch the video to see if they and to hear my thoughts!

This show it’s back to the basics with a pure audio podcast that looks at recovery strategies for mobile PCs that do not have an optical drive or in some cases a keyboard.  I offer some common sense strategies for preparing now for the unthinkable crash that leaves your UMPC/ Origami, Tablet PC, or other ultra-portable unable to boot.  Instead of having a brick on your hands these tips might let you get back up and running.  If you have your own tips and advice for recovering an unresponsive device please leave them in the comments to share with others.

Fred Langa’s articles on InformationWeek covering Windows XP recovery methods are mentioned on this show.

Enjoy the show!

OK, the video file is huge but I wanted to capture the size and the spirit of the moment.  There is nothing quite like opening a new gadget for the first time and let’s face it, the Sony Vaio UX50 Micro PC is about as special as it gets.  With 1024×600 resolution playing on a screen of 4.5 inches you need the extra video to really show the device.  I had an invisible audience who wanted to remain out of the video but the coolness of the Sony drew him in as the video progressed.  All sorts of activity was going on in the background and the Treo wouldn’t stop ringing but that’s the way it is in Mobile Tech Manor.

This video is an overview of the UX50 device and I promise a full video review showing what this PC can do is forthcoming.  Enjoy the show and let me know what you think.

Special thanks to the folks at Dynamism for supplying this review unit.  Those guys are the best!

OK, we won’t win any Academy Awards for this video. I’m still limited to a 1.3 MP webcam and if you’ve ever tried to capture an LCD image from a webcam, well, let’s just say it isn’t pretty. However, if there are any DV recorder manufacturers looking for a fair and honest review, maybe we should talk!

What I tried to do was go through some of the many great scenarios you provided us and then let the Q1 try and handle them. Keep that in mind as you’re watching the often dark video; the point here isn’t to show the screen in crystal-clear imagery, but to see if the Q1 can handle the everyday work that you asked about. Remember: we’re looking at the device as both concept and for hands-on usage. Having said that, here’s some of the items you’ll see in no particular order:

• Booting up into AVStation Now for media playback.
• Booting into Windows XP to show the time-frame of a boot up.
• Putting the device into Sleep mode and restoring it back to show the speed.
• Inking in OneNote 2007, Outlook 2007 and Windows Journal.
• Handwriting recognition in Windows Journal.
• A quick stop into MindJet’s MindManager (Note: I had an issue in the video, but it wasn’t the fault of the software or of the Q1. Second Note: notice that I said it was my fault without actually saying it was my fault?!?)
• Brief look at DialKeys and the Microsoft TouchPack.
• Surfing in IE7 via the LAN.
• Pulling the LAN cable out and surfing the web by using an XV6700 EV-DO Windows Mobile phone via a Bluetooth connection.
• An overview of the Samsung screen rotation

We’ll likely have some additional videos of other scenarios for the Q1, but 34 minutes of a webcam video is probably more than you can bear for now!

I ordered it, Best Buy sent it and UPS delivered it! Yup, the Samsung Q1 UMPC is in da house! This is the official "live" unboxing of the device and I try to show you every component of the Q1 packaging and contents. Overall, I’m very impressed; the packaging almost justifies that $1,099 price tag. Well, not quite, but really, it is packaged nicely. It’s all here, so why don’t you virtually unbox a Samsung Q1 with us?
