2. That’s me and the last thing I shipped\n
3. My life is about pixels\n
4. Not talking about my current projects today\n
5. 30 min presentation, questions before and during break; examples are from across Design, not my current work\n
6. How many of you are prototyping?\n
7. Designers like to work behind 27” displays which bear little resemblance to MeeGo devices. Size, resolution, density, shape, portability - all wrong.\n

15. From TIME Magazine:\nJeff Hawkins, 40, Palm's chief technologist and Pilot's creator, designed one of the first handheld computers, the GRiDPad, a decade ago. It was an engineering marvel but a market failure because, he says, it was still too big. Determined not to make the same mistake twice, he had a ready answer when his colleagues asked him how small their new device should be: "Let's try the shirt pocket."\nRetreating to his garage, he cut a block of wood to fit his shirt pocket. Then he carried it around for months, pretending it was a computer. Was he free for lunch on Wednesday? Hawkins would haul out the block and tap on it as if he were checking his schedule. If he needed a phone number, he would pretend to look it up on the wood. Occasionally he would try out different design faces with various button configurations, using paper printouts glued to the block.\nHawkins figured his main competition was paper, not computers. So he made sure that looking up the day's schedule was no more difficult than opening a Filofax: one push of a button and there it was. Details about an appointment could be called up with two taps. \n\nRead more: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,987979-2,00.html#ixzz13Uun3Xxw\n\n
