Re: [IxDA Discuss] Netbooks lead the way on how we%u2019ll be using our mobile phones in the near future

2009-08-17 Thread Chris Rider
I foresee less of an explicit hardware convergence, and more
interoperability. I.e. the tablet/netbook should seamlessly leverage
my phone for data access via bluetooth...

Seamless being the operative term in that concept.

There is an interesting interaction problem here. If I carry
different devices depending on what I'm doing on a given day, how do
easily I tell the carrier which device I want to receive calls on?

More generally, can we come up with some standardized ways for me to
configure the devices in my personal-area network on the fly?

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Interaction flow as subterfuge.

The graphic design community has been talking about this for a long
time. The First Things First manifesto is one reaction to this
problem.

it was first published in 1964:

Then updated in 2000:

Milton Glaser's interview with Debbie Millman from a few years ago
includes a particularly interesting discussion of the topic.
