Any future for the Nokia Internet Tablet? Doh! Yes!

When I first encountered the Nokia Internet Tablet, I thought, “Gosh what a great e-reader!” I’ve used each NIT as an e-reader but I learned what it’s great at is, well, doing the internet thing. As its name suggests. I thought GPS was a natural win. The big screen made maps easier to read than on most dedicated de... [More]

Losing the best-res title

If the next Internet Tablet indeed shrinks its screen size, how will it compare to the 3.5″ 960×480 Toshiba Biblio? It’s a cell phone with integrated e-book reader, a 3.5-inch LCD screen featuring a 960×480 resolution, 7GB internal memory, QWERTY keyboard and Opera Mobile 9.5 including AJAX support For a long time, the ...

‘You can’t delete blog posts. Ever.”

Russell Beattie is of course a famously garrulous mobile-platform instigator. Now what does he mean by this latest (7 minutes ago) observation (OK, it was a tweet): Dear colleagues at Nokia: You can’t delete blog posts. Ever. Anyone in these forums care to clue us in? ... [More]

The medium (Tweets) and the message (walkaround web)

These days more of what I have to say about the Nokia Internet Tablet gets said via Twitter than at Internet Tablet Talk (and maemo.org). A blog post usually takes me a couple hours to create, from working out what I have to say to cleaning up the version transmigrated to the forums. A bit less when I don’t make a graphic too. Being...

Putting ebooks, NIT and big sales into the same sentence

In case you hadn’t noticed, ebook sales are rocketing up and up and up. (Well, it is my field, so I have.) Just in order to buy an ebook from Amazon, you have to first buy a $360 Kindle; yet in little more than a year, 10 percent of Amazon’s total book sales were ebooks. Of course, its book catalog includes millions of differe... [More]

A device for every situation

For the last ten days I’ve been putting an Amazon Kindle 2 through its paces, wondering how desirable a dedicated e-reader is. The resolution of the Nokia Internet Tablet screen is 225 pixels-per-inch; on the Kindle 2, it’s 167 ppi. In a one-inch square, that means there are nearly twice as many pixels on the full-color NIT sc... [More]

Tablets, phones and … laptops?

Most of what I learn about Nokia and the internet tablets comes from following links posted in blogs written by more clued-in folks. One link today was to a post about the QT Animation framework written only yesterday by Kaj Grönholm. (Neat video here.) Another link I tripped over was much older. And so I just learned today that the CEO... [More]

A Flash stop-watch and timer

Keeping track of how much time you have left to talk in a presentation or a meeting presents special difficulties. As evidence that no good solution exists for the problem, I point to the universal practice of appointing a single individual to keep track of the time who is delegated to conveys the impending end of the allotted time to the...
