trendwatching: thin clients and pen computers
In this trendwatching podcast, Cathi Bond and Nora Young talk about cool tools that Wayne MacPhail tipped them off to, or inspired them about.
Inspired by a 3M product Cathi saw at Wayne’s a while ago, Nora finds the LiveScribe, written up in this Fortune magazine article.
Meanwhile, Cathi tells us that she saw an actual OLPC computer at Wayne’s, and points to the emergence of other inexpensive computers and thin clients, like The Cloudbook, by Everex. Nora talks about the Zonbu, which combines an inexpensive computer with a service pack.
