I’ll be hosting 2 live sessions today that I hope you’ll be able to join in on. The first is the MeetMobility Computex Podcast with Sascha and JKK out in Taiwan, myself back in the studio and special guest, Joanna Stern from Engadget joining us from New York. That will start at 1500 CEST (9am New York, 9pm Taipei, other times here.) and you can join in by tuning to MeetMobility.com/live It will be recorded and available later today.
The second event is a live open presentation and Q&A on the Dell Streak. That will start at 2100 CEST (Midday San Francisco, 2000 UK, other times here.) I don’t have a full retail model but the device I have allows me to show you around the device, demonstrate some features, give you some thoughts and answer your questions. So far the device is living up to all my expectations with the extra bonus that the battery life appears to be better than I thought. Unfortunately JKK can’t join us because he’s still out in Taipei and by the time he gets back to his studio on Wednesday, I’ll be away on another commitment until the week after. We might have a few Streak owners from the UK joining the chat though so it will be the perfect chance to get together to talk about the device from multiple perspectives. Video and chat will be running at Carrypad.com/live. I’ll be bringing the Sony Ericsson X10, Viliv S5 and Archos 5 for comparison. See you there.
Meet:Mobility Podcast 48 is now available. Recorded on 23rd April 2010.
JKK, Chippy and guest, Chris Davies from Slashgear talk about netbooks, the iPad, new news from Dell and why Chippy paid 520 Euro for an Xperia X10. We also cover the question ‘Are netbooks getting boring?’

I’ve just got back to the hotel after hosting the MeetMobility podcast 43 live from the Intel booth at MWC where Sascha Pallenberg (NetbookNews), Matthäus Krzykowski (Agora 9 Group and contributor to VentureBeat,) Hubert Nguyen (Ubergizmo,) Monty Metzger (Ahead of Time and founder of Mocom 2020) and myself talked over the important topics coming out of MWC. We took a few minutes to put together and agenda that included hardware, software and business. We steered clear of pure phone-related topics (as is normal) for the podcast and ended up with this set of bullet points which is a good representation of the top mobile-computing news at MWC.
Products
Dell Mini 5 – Well-equipped 3G enabled MID running Android.
Compaq AirLife 100 – Android-based touchscreen netbook-style device that introduces the ‘always on’ model of computing.
Acer Aspire One 532G – First Pinetrail netbook with Nvidia Ion2 GPU and HDMI-out.
Software
MeeGo – The joint venture between Intel and Nokia to provide a single Linux-based software stack that can be used across multiple device segments using different CPU architechtures.
Flash 10.1 – GPU-aware version of Adobe Flash arriving soon on a number of devices and platforms in including Android (the new HTC Desire for example.)
The rest of the podcast was spent talking about the developer community. Matthaus had some great input from his work with mobile start-ups and we hope we can bring you the full podcast soon so you can hear that important input. We had some problems recording the full show on Ustream due to poor Wifi coverage but we have another source that we’ll edit-up and bring to you on the usual MeetMobility podcast channel as soon as we can.
That’s what we’re seeing from within MWC. How are people seeing it from the outside? What news is rising to the top for you?
Samsung N150, NB50 arrived at netbook news
Info and test coming at Netbooknews.com
Battery battle. Marketing. Differential between marketing and real-world getting too wide.
Steve Jobs said that 10hrs is enough – Overnight charging is good enough. Really?
JKK, Sascha and I are extremely proud to announce that we’ll be doing our first ever live-audience MeetMobility podcast recording (and hopefully live broadcast) at CES 2010 on Friday Jan 8th at 2pm
Thanks to Runcore, creators of excellent SSD solutions (I think we all have at least one Runcore–enabled device now) we’ve got a place, a time and an internet connection. With a sack full of news to talk about I doubt we’ll have any problems at all filling a podcast and if we meet any other bloggers on the way, we’ll drag them in too.
It should be fun and we’d love you to join us if you’re at CES. Shout abuse, feed us with cocktails, whatever you fancy!
Join us on Friday the 8th a 2pm where www.Meetmobility.com consisting of www.JKKmobile.com, www.UMPCportal.com and www.Netbooknews.com will hold a round table event discussing the pros and cons of all the new products they are covering at CES. Everyone should come and enjoy the show, as we all know when these guys get together there is sure to be some educated, excited, and enlightening debate that sheds light on products that will surely turn your geek on. The event will be uploaded to YouTube for everyone that cannot attend CES. We also hope to stream it live on Ustream. Keep any eye on www.Meetmobility.com for further up to date information on this event.
Location: Booth #35516 from the NetBook Tech Zone, LVCC South Hall 4
If we can set it up, the live stream (and chat) will be on the usual /live pages on our respective websites.
Sorry about the late notice on this one but we’ve found a slot and we need to jump on it.
At 2100 (CES) tonight (about 4hrs from this posting) we’ll be sitting down to prepare for a Meet:Mobility podcast (broadcast live) followed by (at approx 2230) a live videocast of the E-King S515.
JKKMobile and Sascha will be joining and we’d love you to join too.
Over at Meet:Mobility, Sascha, JKK and I have just posted podcast 34. A half-hour of netbook, MID, smartphone and UMPC discussion with a focus on IDF, the N900 and the rush of tablet-style devices hitting the market at the moment. We hope you enjoy it.
One point I wanted to highlight from the podcast is where Sascha reminds us that although there’s a tablet buzz going on right now, not many of the devices have hit the market yet and there’s no proof that any of them are or will be successful. Worth thinking about.
Finally, we’re still looking for a sponsor for the Meet:Mobility podcasts so that we can make it a regular bi-weekly event. If you’re interested, contact us for details.
