The Age of Touch Computing: A Complete Guide

December 15th, 2008

The Complete Guide to Touch ComputingTouch computing—which started with the iPhone and is now making its way to your desktop—will change computing paradigms, at least for the most common PC tasks.

Your Audi slides up to an ATM and—mhzzzz—your window rolls down. There’s a gleaming LCD staring at you. What’s your first thought? Just a few years ago, it would have been to press a keypad and start your transaction. Today, there’s a paradigm shift: You touch the screen instead. The computing world hasn’t caught up to the banking, grocery, and casino markets quite yet, but that’s about to change.

In 2009, touch computing will go mainstream.

Since the idea first arose, in the eighties, several products over the years have attempted touch control. For example, Dell released the convertible Latitude XT notebook in early 2008, to a mixed response: It was often easier just to use a stylus. Philips has experimented with touch in devices like the Pronto, for controlling your home-theater system with just a finger push. Marketing kiosks, home security systems, airport check-in terminals—many devices support touch in some way.

Once there was just a single Android phone, the T-Mobile G1. Coming soon, in Australia, is the Kogan Agora. Now reports are pointing to an emerging gadget for China, known for the moment as the “OPhone.”
The site ModmyGphone is showing off a photo of a sleek gadget that it says is a joint effort of Lenovo, the PC heavyweight, and China Mobile, the largest cell phone operator in China:
The latest bit is, the phone is looking good and ready for testing. OPhone is a codename for phones that will be based on China Mobile’s OMS (Open Mobile System) which is essentially Android + TD SCDMA (China’s home-grown 3G standard).

Location-based networking service Loopt has now gone live in Google’s Android marketplace, and is compatible with “select phones” that run the open-source operating system.

As with other handsets’ versions of Loopt, the app lets you track your Loopt-using friends on a map and find other members in the area. They can also share their location with social-networking and messaging services like Facebook and Twitter.

Prior to launching its iPhone and then Android apps, Loopt was restricted to carriers with which it had signed contracts, like Verizon and Boost Mobile. Typically, it was a subscription service that cost a few extra dollars per month.

Week in review: Google’s shiny Chrome Christmas

December 13th, 2008

Google delivered some shiny presents to good little users a bit before the holidays this year.

In a surprise move, the search giant took its Chrome Web browser out of beta this week, in the hopes that business partners, such as computer makers, will bundle Chrome on their systems. Google launched the first beta version of Chrome in September.

However, Chrome is still rough around the edges to be a version 1.0 product. Also, although Chrome has been in development internally at Google for years, it’s curious that the company would take Chrome out of beta when it’s resisted the impulse to do the same with Gmail and several other high-profile projects.
