And if so, will it have many implications for vlogging? potential to be breakthrough product/platform. Large enough screen to give decent 'cinematic' (for want of better term) experience, suitable for intimate viewing (like ipod/walkman for music), and if it is network aware then potential for smarts in the media. The heart of the matter is to be able to move from it just being a dumb viewing device. This is the killer aspect of course for the iPhone since apps and their access to the phone's smarts (data, GPS, voice, etc etc) shift it into a different category of device. So here's hoping :-) cheers Adrian Miles adrian.mi...@rmit.edu.au Program Director, Bachelor of Communication Honours vogmae.net.au
[videoblogging] 2010 the year of the tablet?
Belated new years greetings to all, Ive not been keeping up with the list much in the last year or so but am back again for now... So, is this going to be the year that the tablet form factor finally takes off? And if so, will it have many implications for vlogging? Assuming that Apple are going to announce a tablet/slate/call it what you will near the end of the month, and knowing that other companies have been showing off tablets or assocaited technology recently (eg Microsoft, HP, nvidia), I guess there are 3 areas where this could have implications for vlogging: Mobile editing - perhaps the larger screen, more power multitouch will refresh the mobile editing experience in a good way? New viewing device/habits/resolution - Assume device will be at least 720p res (eg 1280x800), perhaps even full HD. Smaller videos will probably still look quite nice but maybe this stuff will encourage more HD content? Not sure if people watching on tablets will increase demand for web video or cange the potential audience their habits much? Beginnings of a new sleeker web, 3D multitouch or at least flash-free 2d slickness? Ive been wanting to develop web stuff for a suitable tablet for years now, although I must confess that since youtube, facebook twitter came to dominate Ive become very unclear about what is next for the web and what services people might actually need. Cheers Steve Elbows PS. I didnt have time to hunt for new shows/vlogs in 2009, any tips for great new stuff that came along?

We all go through little phases with the group. Important to go out and do research then come back and discuss. So, is this going to be the year that the tablet form factor finally takes off?

Ive been wanting to develop web stuff for a suitable tablet for years now, although I must confess that since youtube, facebook twitter came to dominate Ive become very unclear about what is next for the web and what services people might actually need. As recent history has shown, I think it'll be Apple that will set the tone for videoon the tablet. I'd love a touch screen to use with FCP. Video editing would become a little more tactile. But as much as I love Final Cut Pro, Apple has emphasized the viewing and consumption of media vs the actual creation. It'll be interesting to see if the Tablet focuses on buying movies/books from iTunes to consume...or helps you create better. overall though, it's a pretty exciting time mainly because of the web has gotten faster...and it's much easier to move video around. Plus people are now used to watching video online. Big changes from 5 years ago. Jay -- http://ryanishungry.com http://momentshowing.net http://twitter.com/jaydedman 917 371 6790

And that's the thing, those sites are so entrenched, and are essentially platform independent, that I can't see platforms like the tablet really having any effect on video blogging. Video blogging is about producing content that is usable on as many platforms as possible. Smart bloggers are already producing both HD and smaller mobile content versions which are easier and quicker to download and/or stream. So they already have the content in a form that is usable by any forthcoming HD tablets, smartphones, or any other platform that comes along. Mobile filming/editing/uploading is a different kettle of fish. Dave.
