I liked the reporter and how she kept things going quickly rather than beating around the bush. She's cute too (!), so that's an added plus.
I didn't find any choppiness to the video. I would like to see prices in USD, overlay on the screen when showing them if possible, along with the notebook model manufacturer and model.
We'll add the make, model and pricing into the videos when we do things like this in the future, but it doesn't seem like we can do clickable links right now.
Strange, it's not something we've noticed or had any complaints about. What system are you watching them on and does it happen when you watch them on YouTube as well?

Hey, I just thought I'd make some suggestions after watching your VodCast, as an audience and average consumer.
1. Please type out some of the specs and special features for the netbooks featured in the video. Like Josef said, the dialog goes by too fast, and it's easier if we can read the important stuff by pausing the video, rather than watching it again. If it's not trivial to do captions in the video, maybe you can provide the info and links in the description section of the page? They would really help.
2. I find the video kinda "jumps around" a lot. It might help if there's a particular theme to each week's video. I'm guessing this week's theme is "Hong Kong", so I think the video should at least answer a few questions, like, "why were you in HK", "what are some HK brands", "what are HK's netbooks known for", stuff like that.
3. Since you mentioned prices in Euros and Dollars, maybe you can also comment on whether or not it's worth it to purchase a netbook overseas. I'm from Taiwan, so I know, that, even though some of the better-known brands don't necessary cost less than their European or American counterpart, they come with a lot of accessories. So, as a consumer, I'd like to know if it's possible to get them outside HK and/or websites to purchase them from. I thought it'll be helpful to mention them if you're targeting global viewers.
4. Melody's segment is a bit too short. In the end, I don't think there was any info on the company and pricing for those accessories. Also, I didn't get to see the food they have at the restaurant :p
We'll take what you said into consideration for sure, just remember that we're a new site and a new team, so it takes a little bit time to get everything perfect.
There are some very good ideas there and we'll see what we can improve upon until next time ;-)
I'll take a look at adding some links on YouTube, at least to the manufacturers that have English websites.
Hahaha, sorry about that, but the video wasn't quite long enough for me to get everything in that I needed to say about a couple of them, so I had to speak really fast instead ;-)
