Sony Bloggie Touch, Flip HD Hold Dedicated-Device Line vs. Smartphones
January 25th, 2011 |
No Comments
Sony and Cisco continue to update their respective Bloggie and Flip lines of ultra-portable camera devices in spite of the growing popularity of smartphones and portable media players with camera modules and robust imaging software. Despite the latter’s rise, dedicated cameras such as Bloggie and Flip offer some distinct advantages for shutterbugs. First, there’s ease of use: One button turns these devices on, one big button records, and a USB port uploads images and video to your PC and Mac.Second, many dedicated devices on the market shoot images and video at high resolution. For example, the Bloggie Touch can shoot video in 1,920-by-1,080 resolution, along with 12.8-megapixel still images. The Flip Ultra HD boasts 1,280-by-720 resolution, along with a slimmer body than previous iterations. But with smartphones adding new visual software and more powerful camera modules on a quarter-by-quarter basis, will dedicated cameras such as the Bloggie and Flip eventually find themselves shunted to the dustbin of dead tech? That’s a question the marketplace will decide. – …

Rather slowly, the buying and selling of art and antiques is going online
DOES the world need another international art fair? With ARCOmadrid in February, Tefaf in March, Art Basel in June, Frieze in October, Miami in December and a dozen fringe fairs in between, the travel schedule of art and antique dealers has become impossibly busy. The annual circuit is costly, too: dealers have to pay for their booths as well as the cost of travel, shipping and Chardonnay.
The VIP (for Viewing in Private) Art Fair, which will open on January 22nd and run for a week, promises to cut costs dramatically for buyers and sellers of contemporary art: it will take place exclusively in the virtual world. VIP was created by James and Jane Cohan, a couple of New York art dealers who teamed up with two internet entrepreneurs three years ago when the art world was about to be hit by recession. …

No doubt you can purchase movies from the iTunes Store ready for iPhone/iPod Touch consumption, but if you already own the DVD, you don’t want to waste your money on the same movie a second time.
