Howard Rheingold's bad experience with

Howard Rheingold's bad experience with
the Treo 600 and Sprint 07/13/2004 01:39 PM
Howard Rheingold, author of Smart Mobs and a lot of other wonderful books about the social effects of new technologies, recounts his frustrating customer service experience when he took his broken Treo 600 to Sprint:

[T]he indifferent young man I talked to at the Sprint store in the Bonair shopping center in San Rafael, California then said that they didn't do repairs or diagnostics and didn't know who did. He actually SURFED THE WEB to give me the phone number of Palm. So I called Palm, who told me they could deal with everyone's Treo 600 except Sprint's. They directed me to a third party repair service whose voicemail sends you to the web.

A Life Where TiVo Has Always Existed

"...My daughter was only 3 months old when it arrived and we set it up. As far as my daughter knows, TiVo has always been around. Now that she (and our TiVo) are three years old, and there are some very interesting things I've been able to observe.

First - she doesn't watch much TV (an allotted hour per day), but when she does watch it, she gets a choice of a recent episode of any of her favorite pre-recorded shows (current favorites are Dora the Explorer and Caillou), and she can watch it at any time of day. We get to choose what shows we'd like to allow her to watch, set up a Season Pass, and we're done.

Second - Commercials are an infrequent novelty to her. We always fast-forward through commercials, or watch non-commercial shows. When she does occasionally see a full commercial, she's fascinated, and will often ask us to stop so she can see what's going on. How can we demonstrate to her the evils of commercial interruption, when she has never had to experience it?

Third - Ignorance of Schedules/Programming - she has no idea when her favorite shows are on, never has. She gets quite confused when we are watching a non-TiVo TV, and she asks to watch 'a kids show', and we have to explain that this TV won't do what ours at home does. We've sometimes shortened this explanation to 'This TV is broken', which she seems to accept, and will wait until we get home to watch our 'fixed' TV.

Fourth - pausing taken for granted. She is now the master of paused TV - saying 'Can you please stop this for a minute - I have to use the Potty'....

I compare all of these observations to my TV-watching experience as a child - always excited about Saturday Morning, because that's when cartoons were on - swapping stories about the latest Evel Knievel motorcycle I saw on a commercial with the other kids, knowing they had all seen the same commercials as well. Feeling disappointed when my parents would switch off a show mid-way through because they decided it wasn't appropriate. The pain of commercial interruption, the disappointment of 'nothing's on', or the missed shows that were probably gone for good. (On a side note, anyone else remember the days where if you missed a movie in the theater, you'd never get a chance to see it again?)

There are a lot of other home entertainment developments that have changed since I was a kid, but none so radically as the TiVo experience. I never cease to be amazed when I'm zooming past a commercial with a woman dancing with a 'swiffer', and I hear my daughters small voice say: 'Wait Papa, I wanna see that'." [Eintagsfliegen ]

Kids growing up like this view their entertainment and multimedia very differently than the rest of us. Heck, as an adult I'm completely spoiled by this revolution, and the desire for this functionality spills over into other mediums (why can't I press a button to go back 7 seconds and hear what I just missed on the radio or pause it?).

It's an interactive world for them, and they shift everything.

Should The Web Experience Be More Like
The Desktop Experience? 05/28/2004 12:41 PM
There have been many people who haven't been thrilled with the state of the user experience within the browser. After all, as simple as it is, it also has quite a few limitations - especially compared to the typical "windows" (lower case) interface that people are used to on the desktop. Still, this article at IT-Analysis seems positive ly stunned that some company has worked out a way to build a windows-like interface in the browser. They even point to a (somewhat buggy) demo shopping site, that basically shows how a company could create a shopping site that feels more like a traditional client-server application using windows and the ability to drag and drop products into a shopping cart. It's an interesting interface, but all it really does is move that traditional interface into the browser. Plenty of other companies, like Macromedia and Laszlo Systems, have been working on other interactive interfaces within the browser as well - so this specific offering doesn't seem all that new or different. Others have recreated traditional applications (such as office suites) within the browser as well - so the idea of "drag and drop" within the browser isn't really that new or exciting. Some web traditionalists have problems with many of these systems because they "break the web." There are benefits to having things like standard URLs that you can send to other people and a traditional hyperlink system. More advanced interfaces are sometimes nice, but, so far, many of them seem to cause more problems than they solve. For example, the sample shopping site above had some confusing buttons at the bottom, and once I clicked on one, the whole window closed and now the page refuses to reload. Not the most user-friendly shopping experience.

My GPS navigation system should arrive today. I forewent all birthday and Chanukah gifts from my family in order to build up a fund for the device, a Garmin 2610. It's a perky little number that sits on your dash and tells you, in a silky voice that forgives all your directional transgressions, how to get from A to B. I'm not a particularly good driver to begin with, but I spend most of almost every trip trying to envision how the road I'm on links up with the road I'm trying to get to. The rest of the...

It's All Over Now but the Waiting

It's All Over Now but the Waiting 06/22/2005 02:19 AM

I’ve finally been able to post a few things because for the first time in about three weeks, I’m not spending my nights working on grants. In Illinois, 2006 LSTA grant submissions were due Friday, June 17, so it’s all over but the waiting now. Which is a killer, because I’m very excited about both of the grants MLS is involved in.

1. MLS submitted a grant to create an online, statewide book discussion group for audio ebooks called “One State, One Listen” by adding simultaneous use titles from netLibrary/Recorded Books and OverDrive to ListenIllinois. Of course, I think it would be totally cool, but we’ll see what the grant reviewers think.
   
2. MLS is also mentioned as a supporting agency in the big gaming grant I mentioned last month. Aaron submitted the grant under the Thomas Ford Memorial Library, and we ended up with 23 participating libraries out of 35 applicants. Response was incredible, and I’m truly sorry we couldn’t take every one of them. Everyone that read the grant loved it, and we have some mighty big plans if we get it. This will truly be something never before seen in the library world.

So now we wait until September to hear back. I don’t want to say much more until then, so light a candle for us!

Our competition

Oh, and thanks to Su Bochenski for driving all the way to Springfield to make sure they were there on Friday before the deadline!

Orange/Treo 600 Upgrade Problems

Orange/Treo 600 Upgrade Problems 06/07/2004 10:22 AM

UK reader Robert Forrest writes:

PalmOne have released an upgrade (1.12) for the Treo 600 Smartphone. I downloaded it from the Orange UK website (there's a link from the PalmOne site and Orange UK supplied the phone in the first place). After the installation of the upgrade, the touch screen doesn't work. Without the stylus/touchscreen a lot of software and phone facilities are difficult, inconvenient or impossible to use. If this isn't just some idiosyncrasy of my phone and software combination, Treo/Orange are going to have a lot of hacked off customers out there.

Anyone else having these problems?

Why the Nokia 6600 Might Be Better Than

Why the Nokia 6600 Might Be Better Than
a Treo 12/19/2004 03:01 PM

Paul Boutin has a nice write up of the Nokia 6600 over at Slate, putting that relatively staid phone up against the Treo 650 and explaining why the generally less-impressive Nokia might be a better choice for many. It all boils down to the beauty of Series 60, to me. Nokia may be a heartless ice queen running down freedom on her iron, lawyer-pulled sleigh, but she makes an amazingly polished operating system for phones. It's not as PC-like as Palm or Windows Mobile, but it puts the phone functions first, instead of hidden behind layers of intelligent abstraction. That's worth a lot—especially when the phones are essentially free.

Plus there's still plenty of whiz-bang to be had from a Series 60 phone. People still marvel that I can get to a terminal on a Nokia 3650 and that phone is like two years old. (Thanks, John!)

Rumor: UK Orange Exec Untucks Windows

Another day, another Windows Treo rumor. This one is somewhat legit, but still, salt liberally:

Which is fascinating... but can it explain the embarrassing scenes in the Landmark Hotel, London, where a Very Senior Orange Person produced his Treo 650, and switched it on, and carelessly allowed all others at the table to see that it was not running PalmOs, but Windows Mobile 2005?

Several people eagerly produced camera-phones to record this, and the phone was hastily tucked away where the sun can't shine.

Treo 600 Review

Treo 600 Review 01/05/2004 01:08 AM

I've finally gotten around to posting about my experiences with the Treo 600 in an essay called Life in the Treo Lane. The great thing about this device is that it confirms most of what I've been writing about for the last two years. I am truly shifted now!

Of course, this has brought home to me even more how woefully lacking library services are in a shifted environment, and I'll be doing a second write-up of how they look on the Treo. In fact, I'm thinking of submitting it as a presentation at the ILA Conference this fall because too few librarians have actually seen how their services look on a smartphone, and this is one way I could show them, even taking URLs from the audience. See, I could do that at ILA because I wouldn't have to rely on the conference center for internet access! (Assuming I can get a strong enough signal in the conference room....)

I've also updated the list of What's on My Treo 600, and I'm pretty close to maxxing out the memory on it, both internal and external. Hopefully I'll get a 256MB SD card for my birthday....  ;-)

I'm a fan of both the Sidekick and the Treo 600, so when Levi Wallach wrote to tell me about his in-depth comparison article featuring the two keyboarded messenger devices, I immediately did what any sane person would do and read it and then forgot to post about it. Fortunately for you, that was only like last week, and the information is no less pertinent. In fact, with the Sidekick II and the Treo Ace/610 just around the corner, bargain-minded shoppers would do well to pay extra attention to the two devices that are still plenty capable and about to get plenty cheap.
