The100 Dollar Laptop









the day before yesterday we had a speech from a programer of 100 dollar laptop.
He presented a working prototype, and described the details of it.

before the speech i though the 100 dollar laptop is just a crapp,
but now i think this laptop is really a result of a high design level,
which was develop through a good user senario:

1. the 100 dollar laptops (100 laps) can link with each other without any setup.
and through the links, the children can work on a projekt easily without to meet eachother.

2. they use a lot of smart part to save the energy.
for example the 10" display, if u dont touch a key, it needs almost "0" energy,
but u can still read what is on the screen.

3. to awake it from sleep it needs only 3/100 second. then u can use it full power.
(a pc needs couple secons)

4. category ur files as blog. just like a child write his homework.


these r just small part of it. isn't it cool?

Innovation of iPhone from the first sight

Multi Touch
the most innovative feature of iPhone is certainly the "Multi Touch".
It allows u to conctrol every thing with ur finger(s).
If u want to zoom a photo, very easy, just change the distance between ur two fingers,
just like u want to pull it bigger, or make it smaller.


SMS
With the visual effect, u can easily konw who send u a SMS, and what did u answered, just like in the picture.

Aplle Iphone is comming! Will it change the world?

Apple Iphone is there! The not really new surperice.
will is change the world like iPod did?
I would say if it creat a new way how people use a phone + a mp3 player.
the idea und the design seem not really originell.
mp3 and cellphone? sonyericsson is the leader.
the design? very minimalism!
but the big big touchscreen and crazy thin thickness is something new.
(well, not new for concept but new for a real product!)

i think the success really depends on how the interaction, operation and corperation with the other devices. Just try it!
