Design - Apple's Eagerly Anticipated Tablet Computer Could Have Big Impact on Design Wo... - 1 views

  • But if the iSlate is another of the company’s successes, it promises to have as much impact as the iPhone, if not more.
  • Apple may be a late entrant to the market, but there is no reason to believe that its designers won’t be able to replicate their past success at battling against the laws of physics to produce a tablet that’s sleeker, lighter and generally hotter than anyone else’s, so much so that people will be willing to pay more for it.
  • Like many new digital devices, it will combine several products in one.

  • Many people like their e-readers (not least because they save them from having to haul around books, newspapers and magazines) but I’ve yet to meet anyone who loves them. That’s the key. If a really great e-reader appeared, the market would explode. The e-reader is waiting for a killer product, just as the MP3 player was before Apple’s iPod. Apple didn’t invent the MP3 player, it made such a sexy one that many more people wanted to buy it. That’s what it is promising to do again.
  • If it comes through, demand for electronic books, newspapers and magazines should soar.

  • What would the device do? Most likely it would work first in Wi-Fi hotspots, connecting from further afield as the range of 802.11-based access points grows and other wireless networks emerge. It would probably do VoIP and IM exceedingly well. It would possibly also do email, RSS, and music.
  • More interestingly, it may start doing completely different things. Its ability to go where laptops can't go, and do things that mobile phones can't do, will create new needs and new opportunities, which make people write new apps.
  • It might be used to access place and event information in the form of annotated maps for instance. Or it might be used to download and watch TV shows. Or make them in the spirit of podcasting and vlogging.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • What might the device look like? It would need to be small and afford effortless one-handed use, incorporating the best learnings from over two decades of mobile phone design.

Toshiba's JournE Touch Is An Underpowered Mini Tablet for Your Living Room - Toshiba Jo... - 0 views

    • Toshiba's got a new take on mobile internet devices, and it is one that sorta kinda makes sense. Its 7-inch JournE Touch is based on Windows CE, has an ARM processor and isn't meant to leave the living room.

      Touted as the "Ultimate Home Media Tablet" Toshiba's Wi-Fi tablet has its own icon packed user interface on top of Windows CE. It will allow you sit back on the couch and run a full Web browser and according to this release you can access Picasa, YouTube, Flickr and your instant messaging clients from the Wi-Fi device.

      It has an ARM chip inside so chances are it won't handle true high def content all that well (though the video says it can). This thing has Nivida Tegra written all over it but no word on what is exactly powering the thing. A base station will be sold separately that will have USB and HDMI outputs.

      The brushed aluminum device will retail for 249 Euros (about $350 U.S.). Hmm, a Zune HD makes a bit more sense to me. Ah mini-tablet season is upon us. [newgadgetsde and CrunchGear]
