"For now, sticky notes is a perfect comparison for Keep. It's simply an online replacement for the random lists and notes you've jotted in your Moleskine. It's only a power tool if a butter knife is a power tool, but it may be the only app that can capture a phone number or random thought as fast as pen and paper."
TouchTools is a user interface that allows the user to manipulate tools on a touch screen as you would normally in the real world. As opposed to simply typing, tapping and swiping, as we do on the devices many of us have at present, this new idea lets you write as if you were holding a pen, erase as if you were holding a rubber and even measure as if you were holding a measuring tape.
NEW PRODUCTION & DEVELOPMENT
Nickelodeon has greenlit a pilot for How to Rock Braces and Glasses, a sitcom featuring singer/actress Cymphonique (she uses just her first name, but her last name is Miller), daughter of Master P and sister of Romeo (Miller), per Variety. The series revolves around Kacey (Cymphonique), a popular girl whose status wanes when she gets both braces and glasses, but finds happiness by turning to music. Based on a new Alloy Entertainment book series of the same name and slated for release in September 2011. How to Rock Braces and Glasses is penned by David Israel and Jim O'Doherty (Grounded for Life, 3rd Rock From the Sun). Israel will serve as executive producer with Alloy's Leslie Morgenstein and Gina Girolamo. O'Doherty is currently executive producing the new Disney XD series Wasabi Warriors. Cymphonique has appeared on Nickelodeon's True Jackson VP and Just Jordan, and has lent her voice to characters on Disney's Phineas and Ferb.
“This is the future, everything is going to look and feel like this within five years,” creator and director of the lab Roel Vertegaal says. “This computer looks, feels and operates like a small sheet of interactive paper. You interact with it by bending it into a cell phone, flipping the corner to turn pages, or writing on it with a pen.”
