Matias Duarte, designer of WebOS and Android 4.0, talks about embracing wholly digital interfaces and how it's the underlying philosophy for Android 4.0 and up.

  I have and it's a great interview. It's actually got me really excited about what I thought would be a fairly pedestrian OS upgrade. But I still don't think it goes far enough. I think there are certain conventions that make sense for a handheld device with a touchscreen. What I talk about in the blog post is for desktops, though. I think for ergonomic reasons, a display that's separate from the input device is necessary for 'real work.' From that starting point, there are a lot of wholly digital ideas that can make computing a lot more powerful and productive if we embrace it.
