Foldable Notebook May Trounce EEE PC
By Vlad | October 1, 2008
Here is a concept that would appeal to any gizmo freak. If you thought the Asus EEE PC was the biggest and hottest thing right now, you may be in for a shock. Yves Behar has designed a concept for a ‘brick’ design. What is being touted as the hybrid iPhone-meets-Macbook-Air gets rid of keyboards and uses an adaptive multitouch screen depending on how it is laid out.
Though tactile feedback is not available, corrective software will make errors less frequent. When opened it will work as a laptop and other modes include eBook, Desktop, and tablet mode.
Swype Technology May Replace T9 Text Input
By Vlad | September 17, 2008
Clive Kushler has launched a new text technology for touch screen gadgets. Previously one had to press each letter but his new “Swype” allows crossing over the touch screen from one letter to another without raising the finger or stylus from the screen till the end of the word. Imagine how easy it would be when you don’t have to cross all the letters and Swype guesses the word just as T9 would. Swype amazes you with its speed when compared to working over the PC keyboard.
