Monday, 9 am, Todd Cochrane and Jeffrey Powers head to Ceasar’s Palace and the Sony Lifestyle store to talk about the newest version of the Sony Bloggie – The Bloggie Live.
The Bloggie Live itself is an update of last years Bloggie Touch. With a big touchpanel and 1080p video (at 30fps), you can do video and stills on the camera with the 12 MP still image capture and 1080p /30 and 720p/60i. You can also do video and stills at the same time (but not while streaming).
“We keep the Bloggie very simple and easy to use,” says Amy. “The large red button remains, your power button and photo button are the other two. It is fully PC and Mac compatible.”
The fun comes in after you shoot. You can live stream into Qik (which needs to be set up ahead of time). People on Qik can send messages – you cannot respond, but you can see that information on the screen.
With a cellular signal, download the Play Memories Mobile (for iPhone or Android) and you can use your phone as a hot spot for your photos or video.
The Bloggie Live is available on January 10th for $249

We State this multiple times on the site, but we have had some questions come up again today.
While we do have a one more sponsorship opportunity. It is managed and executed separately from the interviews. Covering CES is an expensive venture. With 20 people on the ground, our cost just to cover the show, studio, bandwidth etc is in excess of $40,000. Our sponsors offset our cost, and in return we give them amazing exposure for the next year within all of the 200+ media interviews and live segments we produce.
For the past 7 years the TPN team has honed our skills to get the vendors we choose to interview some serious consumer exposure. Everyone promises you exposure but who really delivers. This is our not so secret formula.
The long tail takes over, we have interviews on products and services from shows 1-2 years ago that still get huge traffic. The long tail is where we win the battle and vendors get ongoing traffic from our coverage. Our Sponsors like GoDaddy and previous sponsors like Audible, Hitachi, Luxor, Citrix GotoMeeting benefit as well, as their ad spots are embedded in those interviews forever.
See you at the show and be on the lookout for the Tech Podcast Network floor teams as well in their Blue Polo Shirts and their camera crews!
