Stream modular computing concept Locus OS video

By Chris Davies on Monday, Feb 8th 2010 1 Comment

Industrial designer Barton Smith’s Stream modular computing concept isn’t especially new – though we’re still yet to see truly modular PCs as he envisages – but what we he hasn’t shown us until now is the Locus OS that would run on it. Designed, Barton Smith says, prior to webOS, Android and iPhone OS 3.0, Locus OS is an activity-based platform which organizes widgetized desktops around locations (such as the kitchen or office) and activities (such as travel), flicking between them based on GPS and WiFi mapping. What we like about it, though, is just how clean, slick and natural the whole thing looks.

MSI Wind gets sliding touchscreen tablet mod

By Chris Davies on Monday, Feb 1st 2010 No Comments

The slider form-factor isn’t unusual in mobile devices – HTC’s Touch Pro2 has a particularly nifty mechanism, and larger handhelds, such as the PsiXpda UMPC, have used it too – but how about a 10.2-inch slider tablet? That’s what InsanelyWind forum member c0ff33 is working on, turning his Advent 4211c (a rebadge of the MSI Wind U100) into a touchscreen tablet that opens up to reveal the QWERTY keyboard.

Windows Mobile 7 UX concepts tip native multitouch

By Chris Davies on Monday, Feb 1st 2010 No Comments

Is it time to start getting just a little bit excited about Windows Mobile 7? The OS has been going through something of a slump recently, but these purported WM7 user experience concepts do have us curious. They’re the handiwork of Jeremiah Whitaker, a freelance designer whose LinkedIn profile indicates he worked on UX design for Windows Mobile 7; while he’s prevented from sharing his work because of an NDA, his portfolio does include some screenshots.

HTC Trophy gets clearly pictured: QWERTY/touchscreen WinMo candybar [Update: It's a fan render]

By Chris Davies on Saturday, Jan 30th 2010 No Comments

HTC’s 2010 smartphone roadmap may have skewed heavily toward Android, but that wasn’t to say the company were planning to abandon Windows Mobile altogether. The first clear render of the HTC Trophy – a Windows Mobile 6.5 candybar with a 3-inch VGA capacitive touchscreen and a full QWERTY keyboard – has leaked, and despite the OS it looks to have potential.

Update: Too good to be true; this isn’t HTC’s work but that of ElCondor from xda-developers; somewhere along the line his watermark has been edited out. He’s done a great job, too: compare it to the fuzzy image in the leaked roadmap. If the Trophy looks this good in real life, we’ll take one! [Thanks Sohaib!]

QWERTY T-Mobile myTouch Slide spotted

By Chris Davies on Friday, Jan 29th 2010 1 Comment

Ugly. Sorry, but it’s word-association-Friday here at SlashGear, and we’re singularly uninspired by what’s tipped to be the T-Mobile myTouch Slide, headed to the carrier in mid-May. Initially described as the hardware-keyboard version of the HTC Magic (aka myTouch 3G), Droiddeveloper’s source delivered not only front and back shots of the Android handset but a few specifications too.

Google Chrome OS tablet rumors reignite

By Chris Davies on Friday, Jan 29th 2010 No Comments

In these tablet-charged times, it doesn't take much to start a touchscreen rumor running. Google's Senior Product Manager of Search, Anders Sandholm, found that out yesterday, when questioned about Google Chrome OS and the possibility of a touchscreen device running the web-centric platform. Sandholm reportedly fumbled about for a tactically answer, settling on "I can't... I mean... right now we are targeting netbooks, that's what we're focused on, but I expect it to work well... we expect it to target everything up to desktop computers."

Pictionaire multitouch table blends physical objects with digital work [Video]

By Chris Davies on Monday, Jan 25th 2010 No Comments

Apple’s iPad table may be getting all the attention, but how about a far bigger touchscreen? We’ve seen multitouch tables – like Microsoft’s Surface – before, that are capable of responding to items placed onto the tabletop, but a collaborative project called Pictionaire by Microsoft Research and University of California, Berkeley promises to even better combine the physical and virtual worlds.
