I'll be honest. My first reaction upon clicking the link was to laugh out loud. It's a combination between a tricorder and the tape player I had when I was eleven.
My more measured response is to question the wisdom of mediating field research with this kind of technology. When I'm carrying out user research I try not to attract attention. This isn't exactly discrete. Have you seen the size of this thing? The sketch puts it at about the same dimensions as a closed MacBook Pro. From my experience with tablet computing, carrying this thing around would get tiring very quickly. I'm also not sure about tying the orientation of the camera to the writing surface; I can't imagine they both have the same optimal angle. Give me a moleskin notebook and a cameraphone. // jeff . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
