Diamond ATI TV Wonder 750
March 16, 2010
Diamond has rebadged the ATI TV Wonder 750 USB dongle for the masses, where that nifty device is more than capable of letting you store a high-bitrate HD quality video for future viewing sans ads after a removal process. Granted, that is rather rare since most folks are more than happy to subject themselves to the wonders of Hulu and Netflix, but we guess there is still a small group out there who prefer an external TV tuner hooked up to their computer. It is capable of receiving virtually any over-the-air digital and analog broadcast signals available, including ATSC, DVB-T and Clear-QAM (unencrypted digital TV). Expect to fork out $50 for that, and even better news is its capability to work across the pond on your travels.

Qualcomm Snapdragon running Flash 10.1
February 16, 2010
[MWC 2010] Qualcomm was showing new demos for its Snapdragon platform. I was particularly interested in the Flash 10.1 demo considering it was the first day that I could see a decent implementation running on a handheld device, inside a browser. I could not pop quiz sites like Hulu or Youtube, but the vector graphics seemed to perform relatively well. Flash playback is probably the last frontier in terms of “full web” support. On another note, I have been told by Adobe that they are working closely with Microsoft on the upcoming mobile products. Qualcomm was touted as an critical partner for Windows Phone 7 Series. So will 2010 be the year when Flash will be fully supported by handsets?

Asus Eee line gets NVIDIA’s Ion
November 18, 2009
Asus and NVIDIA have just announced that several new models of the award-winning Asus Eee line are shipping with NVIDIA's Ion chipset (the same one used in the Macbook Pro). The new products include:
- Eee PC 1201N: Ion + dual-core CPU (Atom) netbook
- EeeTop PC EB1012: All-in-one 20" with touch screen and DVD
- EeeBox PC EB 1012: Nettop that is HD video capable
- EeeBox PC EB1501: A more energetic box with 4GB of memory and Windows 7 Home Premium
- AT3N7A-I: A mini-ITX motherboard for home theater PCs
With the upcoming Flash 10.1 (final release), Ion will be extremely potent, not only for hardware-accelerated DVD or Blu-Ray playback (it has been since day 1), but plus for playing fullscreen Flash videos from sites like Hulu or YouTube, which are quickly becoming critical to a Media Center experience. that is a major design-win for NVIDIA.
