Screen Too Small On Your PDA? Get Two







Screen Too Small On Your PDA? Get Two

Screen Too Small On Your PDA? Get Two 10/31/2003 11:44 AM

There's always been a problem in PDA and smartphone design. You want the screen to be as big as possible to make it more useful, but you want the device to be as small as possible so that people like it and feel comfortable carrying it around. This leads to inevitable tradeoffs, and IBM thinks they may have a solution: dual screens. The description in the article is not the greatest, and a picture would really help. However, it sounds like the device has the ability to flip out a second half of a screen - so that when you need more screen real estate, you can suddenly have it, without impacting the carrying size of the device. I'm guessing it must work in a similar way to the Sierra Wireless smartphone keyboard, but could be totally off-base.

and Jorunn D. Newth Among the many websites that are out there, few are standards-compliant. Among those few, only a handful sport style sheets adjusted to the needs of handheld devices. Of those which do offer styling for handhelds, not all will fit the smallest, lowest-resolution screens without presenting the user with the ultimate handheld horror: namely, horizontal scrolling. This article presents a set of general suggestions for creating a handheld-friendly style sheet that works well even on handheld screens no wider than 120px.

Time For Flight Mode On Your Mobile

07/02/2004 01:01 PM
A few months ago, we pointed out that, thanks to a growing number of "smart phones," flight attendants were often having trouble with passengers who wanted to use the PDA functionality of their phones, but had the wireles s transmitter turned off. Unfortunately, there's no easy way for anyone to see quickly if the phone really has its wireless abilities shut off, or if the person is just saying that to keep the flight attendants off their back. So, now, the Consumer Electronics Association is trying to come up with a standard way to e asily display that a mobile phone is in "flight mode" -- where the user can make use of applications on the phone, but isn't transmitting a wireless signal. Next thing you know, they're going to need another way of indicating to everyone that the camera part of a camera phone isn't on...

01/05/2004 01:34 PM
Bay Area-based artist Andrew Johnstone has created a digital, virtual, and three-dimensional Black Rock City for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 and 2004 platforms.
[I]n the spirit of Burning Man's no-commerce, gift economy philosophy, he's making his project available for free. One of Burning Man's mottos is "participants only," and, fittingly, Johnstone's Virtual Playa rewards active involvement. On his site, he provides free 3D building tools that Burners can use to model a version of their own camp or art project, which they can then upload and incorporate into the complete Virtual Playa version available to everyone. If people want to design a camp made from pre-fab pieces, he provides digital tents, domes, RVs, U-Haul trucks and many of the other details.

"You can be your own Larry Harvey if you want. You can put whatever you want in," says Johnstone. "They can scratch their playa itch in March when they're not feeling very Burning Man."

My boys Alex(8) and Linus(6) didn't know until this morning, but today they're about to take their first airplane ride. Their mom's taking them down to Orlando to see uncle Chris compete in the Florida Half-Ironman and spend a day at Universal Studios. I'm staying home with Leo(2). I told them the news this morning and Alex's response was classic Alex: "awww, I don't wanna to miss school for two whole days." Linus, who consistently plays Pig Will to Alex's Pig Won't, was ecstatic.
