  • Forget the netbook. It’s a slow, clunky piece of junk.
  • Ten years from now, we will look back at the tablet and see it as an end point, not a beginning. The tablet may turn out to be the final stage of an extraordinary era of textual innovation, powered by 30 years of exponential increases in computation, connection, and portability.
  • but there will be a steady decrease in radical new ways we interact with text.

  • Brian Eno once famously said (in the pages of Wired) that the problem with computers was that there was not enough Africa in them. By this he meant that computers as we knew them could “see” only the wiggling ends of our fingers as we typed. But if they could see and employ the rest of our body, as if we were dancing or singing, we could express ourselves with greater finesse.
  • It overthrows the tyranny of the keyboard.

    Will the Joo Joo tablet pre-empt the itouch - not sure, but it sure looks cool and that it can surf the internet 9 seconds from being turned on is cool. Also looks to be an "e-book" type device as well. (Wonder if Amazon will make the kindle app on this device?)

  • A major component of Total Immersion’s proprietary AR solution, markerless tracking enables an AR application to use natural targets to trigger the augmented reality experience.
  • “Mobile innovation continues to drive rapid change for business and personal interaction, and this spring’s CTIA educational program will address next generation technologies, new players and emerging opportunities,” said Robert Mesirow, vice president and show director for CTIA. “We are delighted that Bruno and Total Immersion will be contributing to the discussion.”
  • “Augmented reality is a new human interface, and as such, offers enormous potential to create engaging new experiences – especially using mobile platforms,” Uzzan said.  “AR is already beginning to transform the way people see and interact in the world.  It’s ushering in an age where destinations, data and details will be as close as a smartphone.  AR can turn a simple cell phone into a marketing and information delivery device with seemingly limitless capabilities.”

    Data that is innocuous or is it? Excellent article from the New York Times on Privacy. "In a class project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that received some attention last year, Carter Jernigan and Behram Mistree analyzed more than 4,000 Facebook profiles of students, including links to friends who said they were gay. The pair was able to predict, with 78 percent accuracy, whether a profile belonged to a gay male. So far, this type of powerful data mining, which relies on sophisticated statistical correlations, is mostly in the realm of university researchers, not identity thieves and marketers. But the F.T.C. is worried that rules to protect privacy have not kept up with technology. The agency is convening on Wednesday the third of three workshops on the issue. "

    Privacy concerns are tremendous with any kind of data and as you predict what is happening with the future, you should look at this.
