Remind us - how many slate/tablet computers were there coming onto the market this time last year, before the rumours about Apple developing a tablet started to emerge?
Interesting piece by Paul Carr, erstwhile Guardian columnist: "Social media allows us to become familiar with people who in a previous life would be unknowable "stars" and we all know what familiarity breeds. There's a reason why reality stars fade from the limelight so quickly and why none of the movies on Project Greenlight became a success: to mix a metaphor, you can't become a star if everyone has seen the sausage being made."
• State of the Art - Call It "Creating Apps for Dummies" >> NYTimes.com
"Above all, a would-be App Inventor app inventor must contend with the differences in every Android phone model. The Droid X phone I was using, for example, refused to communicate with my computer until, at the suggestion of a Google technician, I changed the U.S.B. connection mode to exactly the opposite of what the tutorial recommended.
Eventually, Google plans to provide pointers to the quirks and eccentricities of each phone. Meanwhile, you can't help think that iPhone app writers have it easy. They've pretty much got only one phone to write for.
Even when it's finished, though, App Inventor will not, in fact, permit average, nontechnical people to write their own apps unaided. Sorry, but that 'NO programming knowledge' business is complete baloney."
