Technology an enabler of media consumption
Delivering a good user experience is imperative as people consume more content on multiple devices, according to Ben Pyne,
president of Global Distribution for Disney Media Networks, who spoke at a panel discussion on the sidelines of The Walt Disney Company (Asia Pacific) 4th Digital Media Conference today. From a business perspective, Kosner believes that there isn't a one-size-fits-all advertising HP Pavilion DV2000 Battery model that works on different screens. The key is to deliver targeted advertisements which are relevant to individuals. Both Kosner and Timpone highlighted the "fremium" business model that offers a service or product for free, but charges a premium for additional features. Timpone cited the Academy Awards application as an example that lets users view the ceremony from different camera angles with subscribers getting more points of view. Reducing operational costs, using social media for audience acquisition, launching high-definition channels, as well as advanced audience measure and targeted advertising initiatives are amongst the top investment priorities, Drury added. Ovum noted that 3D broadcast content and 3D channels were the lowest priorities for the respondents in Asia and around the world. With the upcoming wave of Android tablets mostly populated by 10.1-inch designs, HTC's decision to go with the 7-inch form factor for its first Android slate could be a flanking move to avoid stiff competition. When the HTC Flyer hits retail shelves, it will go head-to-head with the HP Pavilion DV4 Battery Galaxy Tab P1000 and upcoming . Upside: The HTC Flyer is one of the sexiest 7-inch tablets in the market. Instead of a plastic chassis, this device sports a superslim 13.2mm aluminum unibody design. Even with its sleek profile, the Flyer's features are on par with larger machines and comes with an ambient light sensor, accelerometer, digital compass, GPS, HSDPA, Bluetooth and 802.11n connectivity. We also like the fact that this device uses the standard microUSB port, unlike the Compaq Presario CQ40 Battery and Dell Streak 5 that come with expensive proprietary cables. A 5-megapixel rear camera and 1.3-megapixel Webcam completes its hardware repertoire. Instead of being just another Android tablet, HTC has customized the Flyer to offer a unique user experience. The HTC Sense interface comes with a 3D home screen and widgets powered by Qualcomm's 1.5GHz processor. Though the chip is of a single-core variety, the company believes it has the graphical oomph to make the Flyer a competent gaming device. HTC has also incorporated third-party gaming service OnLive on this device. By doing all the heavy processing on an online server and streaming the graphics back to the tablet, OnLive allows relatively low-powered devices to run graphic-intensive games such as HP 416996-131 Battery, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Tom Clancy's HAWX 2. HTC Watch is a video download service that allows users to search for movie and video content as well as potentially rent or buy the latest blockbusters. HTC Watch and OnLive may not be available for all regions in Asia, however. Another interesting feature is the HTC Scribe technology, which allows both stylus and touch inputs on its 7-inch 1,024 x 600 -pixel display. It is not known if the screen is a resistive one or if it's a combination of active digitizer and capacitive technologies (found in Windows-based tablet PCs), but HTC promises to change the way users input handwritten notes. Not only is the Flyer capable of syncing audio notes with written text during meetings, it also puts your information in the cloud with the online service Evernote. The jury is still out on 7-inch tablets. On the one hand, this HP Pavilion dv6700 Battery form factor is certainly handier than 10.1-inch or even 8.9-inch tablets, while offering significantly larger screen real estate compared with Android smartphones. But on the flip Side, one might argue that since you cannot fit a 7-inch slate in your pocket, you might as well lug along a larger tablet for a better visual experience. While the unibody design is attractive, the hefty 420g weight isn't. |
