2010 has been a great year so far. It has given us the World Cup, inception cat, and jeggings are coming back in style. We have also had the opportunity to meet a lot of awesome DivX users during the gdgt live tour. Next week, the tour will continue in Beantown, USA and we will be there with a couple of our favorite DivX Certified Devices. If you live in or around Boston and you love gadgets, you will not want to miss this event.
Did we mention that we will also be giving away Seagate’s new DivX Certified FreeAgent GoFlex TV HD Media Player, and a DivX Certified Philips Blu-ray player? We’re pretty sure we just did.
Details after the break. Continue reading “Next Stop: Boston”

Let the Tablet Wars Begin
Heads up Apple, there’s a newer, smaller (and DivX Certified) tablet in town. Last week Samsung announced their new GALAXY Tab, and the web has been buzzing about it ever since. The tablet boasts a variety of awesome features, but our favorite would have to be that it guarantees DivX playback up to 720p HD (perhaps we are a bit biased). This miniature powerhouse also has a 7-inch touch screen, Flash 10.1, a 1GHz processor, and ships with Android™ 2.2 (froyo).
There has been a plethora (BAM! Scrabble score of 13) of stories and articles, but we decided to pick out a few of our favorites to list below after the break. Continue reading “Let the Tablet Wars Begin”
Samsung Galaxy S Preview
A short while ago, a new DivX 720p HD certified Galaxy S phone from Samsung found its way in to the DivX headquarters. Ever since it arrived it has been passed around from employee to employee. Everyone has read the hype around this phone and wants their own chance to see it for themselves. I was finally able to track it down and hold on to it long enough to do a quick video preview of this phone. After having a little bit of time to play around with this phone, I have to say: its pretty sweet. I love the super AMOLED screen (and I am a huge Android™ fan). DivX 720p videos on this phone look stunning. Check out the full video preview after the break: Continue reading “Samsung Galaxy S Preview”
A Recap of gdgt Live in Chicago
This was the 2nd stop on the gdgt live tour 2010. The tour kicked-off in Austin, TX during SXSW and this time we were headed to Chicago, IL. Hundreds of tech enthusiasts came out on a rainy night to check out the latest gadgets. DivX showed off some new devices that play DivX video, including the recently launched 1 TB Iomega Director multimedia hard drive and the LG Arena mobile phone. Attendees also had a chance to demo one of the first DivX Plus HD devices that play back MKV video (the Philips Blu-ray player BDP 5100).
We had a great time hanging out with all the DivX users that came by our booth to catch up on everything DivX. There are three more stops left on the gdgt live tour 2010. In July, we will be in Seattle, so if you are in the area, make sure to check back to get all the details. Continue reading “A Recap of gdgt Live in Chicago”

Introducing the All New DivX Plus Software

We have redesigned our bundle from the ground up to include more features, a new interface, and a simpler method for transferring videos to your DivX Certified devices. We call it DivX Plus Software.
Check out some of the new features that we are including in this new bundle after the break: Continue reading “Introducing the All New DivX Plus Software”
