Too damn cool: Mitsubishi Crafts Tiny LCD "The Mitsubishi Electric engineers got around this problem by moving the light about 1 inch away from the display panel so that the image is more tightly focused on a small area of the eye. Look down to view the image and you can see it, just as normal. However, look up from the display to see something in front of you, and the image is now hitting a part of the eye away from the pupil, so it becomes invisible. More precisely, a movement of more than a hundredth of an inch in the vertical plane or a tenth of an inch in the horizontal plane puts the display out of view." [at PC World] Again, I say eBooks, PDAs, wireless browsing... you just don't know what's going to happen. 11:02:54 PM

"A company called Digit Wireless has developed a unique keyboard called the Fastap for mobile phones and devices that combines the functionality of a full-sized keyboard with the form factor of a cell phone. Very interesting..." [CamWorld] Finally some input innovation for a cell phone. I read somewhere that kids in Finland can type faster on their cell phones than on a computer (I can find the cite if you really want it). Imagine what they'll do with this little puppy. Maybe they'll write the great Finnish novel on their cell phones. This is why I say you can't discount eBook technology. You just don't know what someone will think up that make it better, faster, stronger. "We have the technology." 8:38:57 AM
