Technology I want NOW please
From the tech-gui list I came across this lovely movie about Apples new patented touchscreen displays. The demos are extremely pleasing, and the Minority Report like filing of photos would appeal to any of us who loved the UI design we saw in that file.
I wonder if this is going to appear in the iPod line – the next generation ones are reported to be not using the clickwheel, so it makes sense if there’s a virtual one. What I would love to see is an full iPod with a screen that covers the face, with a little mixing desk, virtual decks and the ability to cue up tunes… a sort of touch-screen mobile Final Scratch. That could certainly liven up the rather jaded concept of iPod Parties. Actually come to think of it, all it would do is release a horde of wannabe DJ’s… oh hang on, there’s already lots of those. Bring it on!
