Touch takes hold, but it’s no mouse-killer
Thanks to Jon Husband for the link. I’m sure that touchscrens on the laptop will be huge! Turn a MacbookAir into a touch screen and let me surf and watch TV.

Another update to Gizmo’s chat capabilities. I just wonder if channels should be important to who you are calling.

I learned belatedly that my last upgrade on Wordpress affected my RSS feed. Now I can access my admin panel but the blog doesn’t publish even in the classic. template mode. It’s a worry. Time to go to the forums. Just hoping miraculously that a new post will fix it all…

I’m in India this week. This morning I texted Vodafone India 57456 / iPhone. I’m yet another “Indian” who’s lodged their interest in buying the iPhone the minute it is released. Pretty slick on Vodafone’s part. Instant assessment of demand, no confirmation of the launch date.
Later I walked into Imagine, Apple’s premier reseller in India. [...]
I’m at Supernova2008. Reporting of events generally. You can find more at ConversationHub.
Kevin introduces Bob Iannucci from Nokia the largest mobile phone co in the world. Mobiles are a key enabler of what’s next. He says Nokia sells more phones in a week than Apple sells iPhones in a year. I’m sure this audience [...]

Android Update. Progress is being made! Some neat tricks not yet on the iPhone.
First LIVE images and videos of FULLSCREEN Android demos! | Android Community
Google’s latest Android prototype is miles improved over the versions we last saw. Back at CES the GUI was clunky and the whole thing looked relatively primative; Google themselves asked us [...]
Last week I was picking my son up from college and so had an overnight in Ontario, Californa. Today I received a thank you cluttering my inbox. I’m not too upset, it does recognize that I was there and since I just dropped the cards at the desk I never got the thank you there. [...]
I made three new friends while in the Dharavi Slum in Mumbai. At first they just tagged along and then as we stopped at various mobile kiosks, photo booths they caught on to my interest in mobile phones and what was being used.
These three kids were some of the smartest I’ve ever met on my [...]
I just returned home from India and the first chore is doing the “washing”. Throwing the clothes in the Kenmore will have some special meaning today after visiting Dhobi Ghat last week where the Dhobi’s flog the clothes on the stone.
There is an expression… “it all comes out in the wash”. Dhobi Ghat [...]
Going into the field is one of the things I really enjoy. This week I’m in India and apart from enjoying the food I’m generally on the lookout for the loud music playing phones from China. India is both noisy and an environment where the music is almost incessant. Your phone’s capability to play music [...]
I’m in India for a week and one of the things I’m doing is getting an update on the local mobile phone explosion. India just had their single largest month an quarter for new cellphone registrations. India is now the world’s second largest mobile market after China with 261.09 million users. In March 2008 operators [...]

Blaine Cook Lead Architect at Twitter. This is a talk about “YOU”.
140 characters.. keeps things constrained. It’s usable and fun because it has a simple interface. Nice fun slides. API traffic is 3 to 4 times larger than page views.

I just read about the Blog Council via Jeff Jarvis. Bit late to chime in too and say this is a yesterday’s idea (Alec said that and I read more here, here, and here with great comments.) I conclude organizations must empower customers to craft how the relationship will evolve. See the BBC.

Facebook’s “Beacon” has been hashed out in the blogosphere already. Aventurista points out the apologetic similarlities in Mark Zuckerberg’s apologies. 2007 & 2006. When I first read it and also watched Matt Mower and a few others quit Facebook. I had a similar reaction although I’m staying for now. Facebook doesn’t have my loyalty although [...]
Visualizing Social Software Best Practices: Three Approaches
“If you and I are discussing a photo online, let’s say, then I’d like to know who you are, what groups you belong to and what our relationship is; if not explicitly then implicitly when that knowledge offers clear value to me.”

Some VoIP applications ARE failing on Facebook!
Alec Saunders provides updated statistics on Facebook VoIP apps. I’ll glad he is still getting uptake for the Iotum app. What apps like Alec’s need is the capability to add them to a group. It’s unfortunate that Group Admins cannot add group apps.

Another Clue To ‘Old Time’: Pre-Industrial ‘Old Sleep’
Stowe Boyd points to sleep patterns just three to four generations ago that were different to accepted logic today. I found this facinating.
