Hi Robert, I just wanted to say great comment! Keep em coming!

re: What Microsoft can learn from Moblin

RobertK — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 20:23:12 GMT

Brad I agree that for netbooks Windows 7 is good but Moblin has the fast start and makes the netbook less of a computer and more of an appliance. This is the way tablets/slates are going to go I think. I don't think a regular Windows desktop would work well with a tablet/slate computer. This is one reason why I think tablets haven't sold very well. Using a tablet/slate computer and having to press the start menu wouldn't seem right. A new finger friendly more cell phone UI would need to be used to make a better familiar environment for people. This is what Apple did right with the iPad...which by the way I hate because it has so many negatives. Other slates coming out like the one from MSI and the combo netbook/slate from Lenovo are interesting ideas. You take a slate and you just make it feel finger friendly and make it familiar and give it new use.

Maybe MS will do the same with slates and use WM 7 instead of Windows 7. One thing I'd like them to do though is make a more MS Surface environment. I don't expect them to make a device that does what Surface does but one that has a similar environment. One in which you can for example bring up a picture and if you want to edit it, instead of going through menus, you just hold your finger on it and it brings up a circular menu of options...same with editing a document....highlight the word or paragraph and hold your finger their for a second to bring up options. If you want to bring up a program just have a button that brings up program icons in tabbed format...for example have a tab for games, one for internet, another for productivity...etc. If they do this the slate would feel more like an appliance than a computer which would make sense.

Now with what I see with Courier I think that may be going in an interesting direction. The UI looks new and fresh, easy to use and multi-functional. If it comes out it could be an ebook reader, or doctors could use it to view and compare notes and xrays easily, engineers could do the same with plans and virtual models. If done right this could be a huge leap ahead of Apple and the ipad.

One OS that I think would make a pretty good slate OS would be WebOS. It has everything a good slate would need, its simple to use, and it has great multitasking and synergy. It would be interesting for sure to see if Palm thinks the same way...or maybe they'll license the OS to companies to make slate computers.

re: Should Microsoft save Palm?

RobertK — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 18:57:56 GMT

A friend and I had a conversation like this. I had read a few articles saying MS should buy Palm. I think its an interesting idea and I brought up the idea of MS porting the OS to WM and use the talent of Palm to help with software. Its a good idea but one I'm afraid I don't see happening.

The main conversation that we had is I said that Palm should just license out WebOS to developers because then they don't have to worry about the hardware and they can just concentrate on software. My friend brought up a good note. He said that having a closed hardware/software relationship is a good thing because then you don't have to worry about having several version s of the OS out at the same time. Look at WM, they have 6.1 and 6.5 devices out at the same time. Android is worse, they have new 1.5, 1.6, 2.0 and now coming 2.1 devices out at the same time and none of them update right away. In MS case some of the 6.1 devices will never update to 6.5 or 7 when it comes out. This makes people frustrated because they buy devices and they can't upgrade the OS to the newer and usually better version. With Palm, and Apple phones every phone gets a new update...not sure about RIM phones.

WM7 I hope is a great OS. MS knows they have to bring it this time because if not then they'll loose more marketshare. From the rumors their making WM7 from scratch with no backwards compatibility. Some say its a mistake, but I think its a good thing. With Windows they can't give up backwards compatibility because they have such a huge steak in it with billions of users. They only reason they could give up backwards compatibility is if they bring something totally new to the desktop OS market...like a minority report type OS along with good voice recognition. The thing about WM7 though is they're loosing marketshare so they can give up backwards compatibility because if WM7 is as good as they hope they'll just go up. Who knows though maybe they'll have backwards compatibility with virtualization later on if not when WM7 ships.

The rumor of a Zune phone or at least a phone with Zune capabilities. This would be huge, the Zune ia a great piece of hardware with great software behind it. This with Xbox live support for mobile games could open up a flood gate for portable games. 1) Xbox live is so huge that Xbox lovers would flock to the phone. 2) this might be a glimpse into a Xbox mobile gaming device. With WM7 they could do this, make a device that could rival...if not pass...the PSP and DS. An MS handheld with Xbox Live would be really huge, especially if they made some of their popular Xbox/360 games for the handheld...and if they put 2 sticks on it instead of messing up like Sony did with the PSP and only making it with 1. This should not have a built in phone BTW, let people buy both a WM7 phone and a Xbox handheld.

In a short time we'll see what MS has up its sleeve, I'm curious and excited. I hope they show off Courier because then they can keep people minds off the oversized ipod touch, I mean idiotPad, I mean ipad. :)
