Gadgets as Personal Productivity Tools - My Story - Presentation Transcript
- Gadgets How I use and segment the utility of each device
- Trough the time… ~2000 2002 2003 2005 My first Palm… Graffiti was easy to learn. Good set of (free!) software. Durable, extremely simple to use. The second one. Same set of features, but more “pocketable”. Nice. When I started to carry a cell phone plus a laptop, I’ve decided that I should have a smaller PDA, then I bought this REX PDA. It was made to fit into the PCMCIA slot, in order to sync. GREAT concept. I miss the small size… I’ve decided to rip all of my CD’s and my MP3 collection grew up fast. Then, I bought my first HDD based MP3 Player: the Creative Labs Zen xTra. Great sound quality, lots of space (30Gb), but… it was not an iPod. With all the hype around Apple products, it was impossible to find good accessories to it. After some time, I gave up and decided to “follow the market”. My last Palm. Nice PDA, but at that time, Windows CE phones started to replace dedicated PDA’s.
- Trough the time… 2006 2007 2008 T-Mobile MDA (MS Wizard device) was a Windows Mobile 5 smart-phone. Good set of capabilities into a single box. It’s a shame that it was so slow… But kept as my main cell phone for almost two years. When I started my Master’s degree, I though I should buy a device to stay with me “almost all the time”. Samsung Q1 was my choice. Great concept, good enough handwriting recognition, but the battery life was poor, then I bought an extended battery… and it became too heavy to carry around… I have several usage scenarios for such a device – with longer battery life and a little smaller footprint. Still looking for the perfect match! Nokia N800 Internet Tablet is almost perfect! Good battery life, nice screen, “pocketable”, two SDHC slots means a lot of space, Linux OS and lots of very good applications. There are only two things missing: a VGA-out connector, and more processing power. Unfortunately, this last aspect makes me crazy when I’m surfing the net for anything less casual then checking the weather. Finally, my last two: HTC Tytn II – the successor of MS Wizard and Nokia N95. I’m sick of WinMo! Too many bugs, a terrible user interface and slow performance. For while, I’m sticking with N95 as my “always-with-me” device.

- Thinking & Researching…
- Archos 605 WiFi
- Good:
- WiFi connection would be useful to keep it “always sync’d” with my home server
- Bigger screen means better movie watching experience
- USB host (with mini-dock) means that I could use it to read SD’s while travelling
- Bad:
- Optional apps are expensive (and some should NOT be optional)
- Encrypted HDD worries me, a little – sounds “too closed”
- Sony eBook Reader PRS-505
- Good:
- Great battery life, due to e-ink screen technology
- Big screen means better reading experience than my current N800 can provide
- The new PDF reflow capabilities means less need to convert files
- New file format compatibility sounds like a future-proof solution
- Bad:
- No wireless means lots of syncs… and I don’t like it!
- Limited set of apps means it still “just for e-books reading”. It would be nice to extend it to read RSS feeds, blogs etc.
- Thinking & Researching…
- NetBook (Dell e or Acer Aspire One)
- Use-Case: Travel companion, casual internet browsing & presentations (replacing N800)
- Good:
- Atom-based means good balance between processing power and battery life
- Screen are big enough to comfortable web surfing
- Connectivity options makes “automatic sync’g possible
- Bad:
- Still too big to carry around all the time
- No tablet configurations - convenient for ebook reading and one-hand operation
- Livescribe Electronic Pen
- Use-Case: Notes & Sketching during meeting and customer interviews
- Good:
- Contextual voice recording is GREAT!
- Additional apps make it future-proof – at some extent
- Internet app – well though and implemented – implements “pencasts” concept
- Bad:
- Needs special paper…
- A little “bulky”
- Still expensive
