The Digital Home Video: The first-timer's edition

So this is the first "proof of concept" video here in a new series I've so affectionately called, The Digital Home Video.

Each day, I'll be opining on something newsworthy in video that you won't find in the column nor the podcast.

As I said in the video, this is very much a "rough draft" and is just the first salvo in what I hope will be a great and fun video series where you'll hear me opine on all kinds of tech topics.

If you have some comments, suggestions, ideas, please send them in the comments section below. I'm open to all ideas!

Oh, and sorry about the audio -- it's awful. I'll have that fixed as soon as I get some wireless mics.

Thanks for watching and I hope to start upping the ante with these videos soon.

They were getting their butts handed to them before, and now they're suddenly going to break into the market and own it? This reminds me of Samsung a few years ago who said all it took was a good business plan to beat Apple. See any Samsung MP3 players out there? Not I.

Dell is setting themselves up for failure in a market they already failed in once before. How can this possibly go well for them? Stick to what you know, guys.

I agree on your take on the audio player business. The closest that anyone has to gain a foothold in this market is Microsoft. They can make it to that it works with Windows Media Player (a default app in windows) and probably strike a deal with Amazon to integrate their MP3 store in the player. I really don't think this will happen, but it's possible, more than you can say with other MP3 and multimedia players (including Dell).

P.S. Fix the audio, submit the video to iTunes and I'll watch it.

Dell was in trouble in PC hardware. They have made huge strides recently. Their laptop lines from home to business, entry level to XPS, are intriguing.

I think the only way Dell can succeed in the portable media player arena is on price. Make them cheap!

I must say I like the "vlog" style.
