The IFA conference in Berlin is an event to keep on your watch list. Companies are using the platform to unveil their latest gadgets.
Samsung has revealed Galaxy S WiFi 3.6 – a device that has all the apps and capabilities of a smartphone but it cannot make any calls. So the device is neither a tablet nor a phone, it is more like a music player or alternatively an iPod Touch –like gadget.
Of all the announcements that have been made at the IFA, the most unique one seems to be that of a Touchscreen Plasma TV by LG, the PZ850T.

Over a week ago HP announced discontinuation of WebOS and the tablet that runs the WeOS i.e. HP TouchPad. The TouchPad though launched with much fanfare could not capture the market as expected and its sales remained quite dismal.

After HP announced discontinuation of its operations for WebOS, the fear of no support for the HP TouchPad tablets led to a sudden fall in its price at $99 only which was actually dirt cheap. This started a rather frenzied spell of HP TouchPad firesales.
HP TouchPad saw its sales rising after its prices was drastically reduced. A lot of users rushed to grab the opportunity of getting this 9.7” tablet at very concessionary prices. The tablet, which runs WebOS has a bit of a problem it does not run MTS video files.
The HP TouchPad running on WebOS does not provide support to certain video formats. One such format is Windows Media Video (WMV) files. So you will first have to convert WMV to HP TouchPad H.264/MPEG 4.
