Finally A Phone Display You Can Read Outside
In daylight and outdoors, phone displays are virtually unreadable so we are almost thrilled with Qualcomm's announcement of a new MEMS display that promises to alleviate one of the most annoying things about using mobilephones and other gadgets in bright light.
We don't normally cover product announcements, let alone product announcements by multi-billion dollar US companies but this Qualcomm scratches an itch.
Instead of trying to stuff more applications and functionalities into devices, software applications, and web tools, it would be great to get some existing user issues solved first - as Niklas Zennstrom says - solve a problem find a business model.
Valleywag and Technofile have a whole lot more to say about what's annoying about consumer technologies, and more amusingly than us. The Valleywag post even manages to squeeze in some advice about carbon reduction ploys beyond the DotGreen glam trend.
