CES 2008: The Clarion and the Samsung MIDs

Let’s try this again. I had posted what I thought was this video earlier but things got crossed up. Here is the correct video. Apologies.

While at the Intel Booth we got to check out the Clarion and the Samsung MIDs. A Samsung MID you say? It sure looks like a Samsung Q1 UMPC doesn’t it? But it is running Red Flag Linux. Is it a MID or is it a UMPC? That is going to be debated on a lot of these devices in the next few months.

Clarion is best known for creating devcies such as media players and GPS for your automobile, so there is logic to Clarion moving into the Mobile Internet space.

Keep in mind with these and other MID devices we are seeing that we are at least 6 months away from really knowing what these devices can really do, as what we are seeing this week are really prototypes.

Warner, I don't know if anyone else is having this problem, but I can't view this video in either the low or high res version, whether I try to download and view or stream. Windows Media Player says it doesn't recognize the file type, and Real Player says it needs to download a plug-in to play it and then can't find one. I've watched your Blip.TV videos before. No idea what's going on or how to fix it. I'm using Firefox 2.0 on Vista, if that makes a difference.

I too have Firfox 2 on Vista... I get nothing when I click on the low res flash vid url... I typically see those just fine, including others here on GBM.
The high res version I did download and play with no problems though... maybe you just got a corrupt download?

Thanks, Warner. Say, that guy in the video looks like he could be your nephew, or something . . . .
