Cameras and camcorders abound here at IFA, but one device caught my eye toshiba PA3534U-1BRS Battery as I walked the floor. Tucked between a kiosk showing off analog to digital converter
devices and musical instruments with a digital edge was this neat little device: the Twin Video. This camera has two lenses, one in front and one in back, and users can switch between them with a single button press. And yes, it works while in recording mode as well.

Ion sees this as the perfect device for interviewers, Dell GD761 Battery video bloggers, and people who love recording for YouTube and Facebook. Since you can switch cameras as you record, there’s no need to splice together two views after the fact. With mics on both sides, one voice won’t overpower another, nor will users have to worry about positioning. And as you can see from the pictures, it outputs live video as well.

Hands-On (Update: Video!) dell Latitude E5500 Battery With The ViewSonic ViewPad 10: Double the OS, Double the Fun.

Today we had more hands-on time with ViewSonic’s other exciting new tablet, the ViewPad 10. That’s the dual Windows 7/Android sony VGP-BPS13/B battery slate I mentioned yesterday. For a Windows slate it has some pretty impressive specs. And just as with the ViewPad 7, ViewSonic avoids the mistakes that hindered other similar devices we’ve seen this past year. But is it awesome enough to compete with the iPad or Toshiba’s Folio 100?

First, the specs. As I mentioned, the ViewPad 10 sports an Intel Atom N455 CPU instead sony VGP-BPS13B/Q battery of a Z Series chip, and that makes a huge difference. There’s a 16GB SSD inside which also helps with performance. Plus, it runs Windows 7 Home Premium, so offers true touch functionality. The 2-point multitouch display is capacitive and I noted that it’s very responsive. I was even able to poke some small elements on the screen (such as Close buttons) with accuracy, and in Android I didn’t experience any annoying misreads — the device never mistook a tap for a swipe.

On the Android side ViewSonic has 1.6, not 2.2. Apparently dell Vostro 1720 Battery this is because that’s the highest version Intel supports for their chips. An upgrade may be possible in the future. But since the ViewPad 10 has 2 USB ports and a microSD slot, it should be easy to add APKs yourself. There’s also MicroVGA output, a SIM card slot, and a headphone/mic combo port

Though it shares some design sensibility with the ViewPad 7, the 10.1-inch model doesn’t keep the wide band all the way around the edge, instead dell Latitude E5400 Battery dipping into a taper on one end, making it more comfortable to hold. It weighs 1.6kg but doesn’t feel very heavy — though of course it’s not as portable or pocket-ready as a 7-inch model. Just as with the iPad, consumers are more likely to use this when stationary where they can rest it in a lap or on a table.

Since it does run Windows 7 it won’t be hard to find compatible keyboards
and even mice, if you’re inclined. There wasn’t much media to demo on the unit we saw, but considering dell Latitude E4300 Battery its netbook-esque guts I suspect that video on the SSD will play smooth whether SD Sony Laptop Battery or HD. Full screen Hulu might have some hitching, though. Of course, if you’re really looking for the best media experience, a Tegra 2 tablet like the Toshiba Folio 100 may be a better bet. For a mix of multimedia and productivity, the ViewPad 10 looks to be a better choice on the surface. Especially for customers who want or need a tablet for business. Still, I’ll reserve judgment for when we get them in for review.

The ViewPad 10 is coming out soon in Europe, but the U.S. will have to dell Latitude E6500 Battery wait a while (where have we heard this before… oh yeah, at every other booth with tablets). It sells for 549 Euros, so we hope that the price here won’t go too far above $500. Check out the gallery and hands-on video below for more tablet goodness
