I bought a PSP this week. Mmmmmm. It is a handsome little machine. Unfortunately for me I have to give it to someone else. Regardless, portable entertainment has arrived. It is a very sweet looking package, slim, great screen, and you can play games, music and movies. Also good for photos. I fear the thing will get easily scratch, but what’s a little wear and tear. Love nips really.
If only it could offer wireless phone and internet … I looked at the Fido Hiptop2. Blech. It looks big and ugly.
I’m waiting for the sexy little machine that will solve all my wireless work/play needs.
James sent me this peek at things to come, check out Jason Kottke’s post:
Quote: The thing that blew me away was the Sony Librie, the first commerically available electronic ink e-book reader. Here’s a photo I took:
What you can’t see from the photo is how insanely crisp and clear the text on the “screen” is. It was book-text quality…it looked like a decal until you pushed the next button and the whole screen changed. It was *really* mind-boggling and you could instantly see how most books are going to be distributed in the very near future.
Ah, books and the future, a subject close to my heart.
I think there’s a separate post in me regarding future distribution models for books. Stay tuned, the life of the mind isn’t exactly reliable or timely. I find lately I’ve been reflecting on the book industry and where it should be going. These are fleeting moments of brilliance that have yet to make it onto paper.
Not associating myself with genius, just an interesting segway, Albert Einstein apparently felt like an underachiever.
In my case, I’m testing Newton’s theory of relative motion. A body at rest will remain at rest. I’ve noticed in my house this does not apply, “oh, are you having a nap?”
What gave it away? The pillow? The horizontal position? The closed eyes?
