“Mobile” doesn’t mean what it used to mean. Once upon a time and not so very long ago, “mobile” meant digital experiences for on-the-go phones. Now we use the word for experiences that are neither on-the-go, nor for phones. Mobile isn’t especially mobile anymore: it’s on the couch, or in… read moreFebruary 05 2012
The folks at Corning put together a heckuva concept video that peeks into the near future of touchscreen interfaces. I’m not usually a huge fan of concept videos—they tend to veer into science fiction.

Combine a fire hydrant, an umbrella, and a heavy wooden box, and you've got the components of a circa-1922 mobile phone. Add a cheerful operator and a phonograph to the mix, and you've got your own flapper-era Siri playing music on demand. When you think of early mobile phones, you… read moreNovember 22 2011
The conventional wisdom about the iPad is that it's for leaning back: reading, watching, browsing, a consumption device for a consumer market.

The iPad is a device suited for sitting or… read moreTapworthy: Designing iPhone Interfaces for Delight and Usability
