Methodology & Observation

I haven't talked about methodology in a long time (at least not on here). I was recently in a conversation with someone about doing some research using a remote screen capture tool on a PC. The person (who shall remain nameless -- but you know who you

CES and small computers...

While my OQO still hasn't arrived, I was able to borrow one from someone on the team who isn't really using his and thus I wanted to give the device a workout during an event that was in theory designed for the device. Well let's just say I had some technical

A really small computer

Over the last week, I've been playing with a development board from a chip manufacturer that is a relatively dated product in that it really isn't all that fast, doesn't use any cutting edge technology, but runs Windows XP at an acceptable level. Sure

OQO not on it's way :-(

Well appears that the OQO that I had ordered, wasn't really ordered, so I'm not going to get a Hannukah present this year, maybe in time for New Years or perhaps in time to take it for a test run at CES. Having had a few minutes to look at the one that

Having a second or third or fourth computer...

I know almost everyone out there who will read this blog has more than 1 computer at their disposal already, so what I really want to know is if you were to give an additional computer to your brother, sister, mom, dad, great aunt Sally, or whomever who

OQO on it's way?

So in my quest to have time on every small form factor machine out there and to figure out what the real end value is behind these devices, I did order an OQO. Appears it's somewhat backordered, as they got more orders than they expected -- which is either

Tablets on Display...

In my previous post , Chris asks why not put this one of a kind Compaq prototype in the display case of all the tablets that is in the building where the tablet team is located. I'll see if I can find a picture of that display case that I can link off

New iMac is out...

Drum roll please.... So the web is abuzz with the new iMac and the latest creation about how it's so thin and just a simple machine. For all of those betting it would be a tablet or at least include a digitizer, you know who you are; I'll take cash, check

Niche products? Here's an example maybe...

I was planning on blogging about niche products and how you need to do research to help understand the product in order to determine if it’s worthwhile mainstreaming. But the truth is, I never got up the energy to follow through with my thoughts

Getting machines up to par

I promised I was going to write about moving a product from niche to mainstream, but the experience at my in-laws was just an interesting (frustrating?) enough that I had to blog about it. My in-laws live under some odd budgetary constraints. They definitely

Enough is enough or the world isn't enough?

Or maybe it's eight is enough or 58 billion is enough? :-) In a recent thread which was really aimed at one or two particular people out there, but I figured I'd make the conversation public and put it out for all to read :-) I suggested that rather than

Tablet Evangelist?

I think some people out there assume that I'm a Tablet Evangelist for Microsoft. After all, I was one of the founding members of the Tablet team, I've written about the Field Trials, I've given some insight into the tablet, and my name starts and is completely

Field Trials Part 3.1

No this isn't a Windows versioning scheme :-) Rather I'm using this opportunity to answer some questions: Lora writes: Did they go back and field test the revised Journal? Yes. Next Question. How much did the concurrent changes in the industry impact

Field Trials -- Part 3

Car ride home Charlton Lui was the development manager for the Tablet PC at the time that we did the major field trials. Charlton is a great guy full of a lot of energy and a way of rallying the troops to get things done. It’s probably his really

Tablet Field Trials

I’ve hinted around at what we called the Field Trials in Tablet before and I know that Chris Pratley talked about Field Trials in his work with One Note, but unless you happen to read the HCI (Human Computer Interaction) literature, you might not
