Are you doing cool stuff? If so, you need to communicate how cool it is, with demo apps, exciting examples, articles, talks, and seminars. I love to bring the best new technologies into the public eye. I'm especially a fan of innovative programming tools and mobility software (Tablet PC, SmartPhone, and .NET Compact Framework).

These guys have patented a gadget for stabilizing your Tablet PC in an ergonomically correct way. Not in production, and it doesn't look like it holds the Tablet PC in a natural position (it looks like it requires your elbow to be thrust out too far), but I was thinking that there needs to be a solution for writing in hand beyond "grip the far side with your fingers and rest the inner side on your forearm."

That's it: I've just unsubscribed from Scoble's link blog (headlines from 1400 feeds). Whatever the solution is to post-linking while maintaining credit / click-through, titles are insufficient. Scoble generally posts in batches of several dozen things he finds interesting. I've said before that I'm skeptical of linking without commenting, but even if I might accept the value of a "human aggregator," without editorial comment, there needs to be some hint beyond the title.

I had a fascinating lunch with Steve Caldwell (CEO) and Rodney Standage (Major Account Sales) of FinePoint Innovations yesterday....They wanted to know what I thought was important in a Tablet digitizer....They were curious as to what ways people would use tilt information. To them it's not hard supporting tilt, but it's a matter what it costs....If anyone has some thoughts on what they'd like to see in a Tablet digitizer, post your thoughts here or better yet on your blog. The FinePoint team is reading them. via [Incremental Blogger]
I would like fast, semi-automatic parallax correction / calibration. Accuracy is all well-and-good, but when held in the hand or rested on a lap, parallax can easily exceed 16 pixels -- bigger than many controls! However, there are only 6 or so likely eye:digitizer geometries:
