Maybe it’s to save the time of the user…. by ranti http://digitallibrarian.org/?p=119&cpage=1#comment-552 ranti Mon, 23 Aug 2010 16:00:16 +0000 http://digitallibrarian.org/?p=119#comment-552 Is this not one of those chicken-egg thingy? If one needs data before one chooses to implement a discovery tool, one needs to implement the discovery tool first in order to get the data? :-) Is this not one of those chicken-egg thingy?

This will be a great device for people who just want a toaster that can upload their photos to their online service and type up a few emails.

Corrado Thu, 28 Jan 2010 21:19:47 +0000 http://digitallibrarian.org/?p=92#comment-368 Jeremy: I think your take on this is very similar to mine. The lack of the camera doesn't really bother me, but I agree it was a little odd they left it off. I also like the no-contract wifi at what I think is a reasonable price. If this thing is easy enough to type on that I can use it for e-mail while traveling, I will seriously consider getting one. Yes, it might not do anything especially innovative, but it is a device, that at least hope, will do the the things I want it to do with a quality user experience.

]]> Comment on Wild Guess: New apple tablet will have a zoomable 3D UI by Jonathan Rochkind http://digitallibrarian.org/?p=89&cpage=1#comment-365 Jonathan Rochkind Wed, 27 Jan 2010 00:03:29 +0000 http://digitallibrarian.org/?p=89#comment-365 I don't get what's "3D" about these things? I am sure they will allow zooming in and out of content, with a multi-touch interface. I'm not sure what the benefit is of allowing zooming to apply to all interface elements, instead of just a main 'content window'. I don’t get what’s “3D” about these things?
