Welcome
To Las Vegas & CES
(Consumer Electronic Show)
for 2004 Jan 8th -11...
WELL...
We Have Good News & We Have Bad News...
The Good News is we have a whole bunch of new camcorders...
The BAD News is we have a whole bunch of new
camcorders...
It all boils down to... we have the same old equipment as last
year and you have a whole bunch of money burning a hole
in your FAMILY wallet and these companies REALLY need to
take it away from you... so we spruce up the box, UP the hype
and give you... More of the same... but we won't tell you the
Emperor is not wearing any clothes... heh, heh heh !
There
is a lot of activity here at '04 January CES
In the USED car business it's called; CHURNING!
New USA Pana MX/GS Cam...?
Not
Exactly ! A Positive Maybe !
There's a conscientious attempt
NOT
to bring this great
little cam to anywhere in North America as a
BLACK
cam
for 2004. Now the bad news...
I believe the first
CONSUMER
version will be set up so
that the replacement for the GS200 stays dummied down
with MSP priced @ $1099 which means when
you have a turkey and it still is not selling... try giving it
away and if it still does not sell... then offer a free car or
whatever... but under no circumstances come to the
conclusion it's ... A TURKEY ! This get's better. For the
replacement of the stripped down Capon (PV953) which
BTW is a neutered chicken... we slip in a half baked
GS200 with an astounding 2 Mega Pixels to replace
the out dated
?
3 Mega Pixel PV953... go
figure !
At NAB in May we will be treated to another wonderful
Pana surprise... an
EZ100u or some
other senseless
name
camcorder encased in a Black finish paint job to
cover a white wash cam job as it too will
be stripped and
priced at a wonderful $1999 price point for
it's minus out
features!

Peek...
I HAVE
found some tid bits of Info & seen some
nifty toys. One was this cute little... well
it Looked
like a pair of stereo earphones, but that was like
saying the Rolls Royce looks like any other car...
Looks in both instances can be deceiving. They
were not quite ready for this show... so I asked
them to send me a BETA pair for review whenever
they were ready. They came yesterday (Jan 21st).
Uh... folks. You are all going to be in for one heck
of a surprise as I just am... INCREDIBLE...
More will all get posted here, stay

OLED 2004 News
According to an article published on Yomiuri Online, a
Japanese newspaper, Sony is planning to begin using OLED, or
Organic LED screen technology, in new handhelds due in the
spring of 2004.
The article in the Yomiuri claims that Sony will begin using a
new OLED screen in a handheld in the spring of 2004. The
company has not released a new model since October. Sony may
also debut a new model at the upcoming CES show in January, as
they did with the NZ90 last year. First Camcorder will be Sept
!
About OLED Screens
Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) is a generic term for a
whole group of possible screen types. OLEDs are made up of
thin films of organic materials that give off light of various
colors when voltage is applied to them. Like LCDs, OLEDs have
both active matrix and passive matrix forms.
The main advantages of OLED screens over current ones is the
screen itself glows so there is no need for a back- or
side-light. This means they require less power and take up
less space, two important factors in a handheld. They also
cost less to make.
OLEDs have a faster response time so they are also better able
to show video. They can be seen from wider viewing angles.
They are less susceptible to heat and cold. OLEDs have fewer
manufacturing steps and use both fewer and cheaper materials
than LCDs do.
Numerous companies are working on developing OLED screens,
like Sony, Pioneer; and TDK. Research scientists at Kodak
invented the OLED in the early 80s and the company continues
working with them today.
