Tablets are going to expose all sorts of new ways of interacting with hypertext on the client side. Supporting html5 is nice for authors, but the real revolution comes when readers can compare multiple hypertext documents, naturally browse through interlinked documents, make annotations, etc. These things have been tried and failed on other form factors, but I think they might succeed on a device like this, Courier or the iPad where the new form-factor requires new interaction models anyway.
This device doesn't look perfect, but they're exploring the most interesting aspect of the tablet problem.
- stcredzero 16y agoCheck out Popplet. I think something like this could be used as a framework to enable most of the functionality shown in Microsoft's Courier vaporware video. (But in a multi-touch friendly way) http://popplet.com/ http://popplet.com/ If other applications could be integrated, such that arbitrary docs could appear in a Popplet-window, then this gives us a task/document-centric way for users to integrate and organize all of their data. (Such that applications disappear into the background, and it's their data that matters.)
- nooneelse 16y agoVery neat, thanks for sharing that. If data from other application could be integrated like that, would that get it kicked off the iPad under the new "no new 'desktop' environments" rule?
