I am very pro-smaller devices. They fit better in my hand, I'm less likely to drop them, and I can save cash on a shopping spree for new (and likely very pricey) Apple fashion. I wonder what sort of appeal the small-screen...

I really hope they do. Current pockets aren't made to support neither the current size or weight of current smartphone devices. I really think something has to give. Either Apple will release its new clothes...

that is a good point. Lawyers will have a field day with this product. I am thinking it would be good for the personal security. You are walking on a dark alley and a thief tries to steal your wallet, you can...

In an episode of shark tank, the omni creator was pitching this idea to the sharks. Altough it was pretty cool. They all mentioned that the omni belong in a very niche market. It would be very hard to expanded...

I think the phone is a good idea. I would very interesting to know whether kids are using it. It looks bulky, I think if such phone could look like the type of bracelets which are in fashion among kids...

Here's an interesting twist... instead of the watch being tethered to the handset, what if it was the other way around? All the smarts are in the wristband and it syncs with a larger "phone sized" screen. That idea...
In reply to: Re: It will be neither a hit nor a flop
The dependence of this watch on being teathered to an iPhone for connectivity and location awareness makes it waste, in my book. I know people who no longer buy watches because they always have their phone on hand. When...

Both Red Hat Atomic Host and CoreOS are in this space as bare bones server operating systems for containers. Any others out there?

To me, IoT promises little. Especially if the (Thing) requires (My Computer + My Internet Connection). The way I see it, easier updates via the internet also raised my cost of "ownership"....

None of this in article or what you guys are discussing is what I think of when I think productivity. I thought that meant efficiently getting work done? I'm not even clear anymore in this new world what qualifies as work...
In reply to: Productivity?
@dried-squid -- seems like the internet as a requirement is becoming the norm in regard to updates. It's just so much easier than the alternative. Notice I didn't say it was the "best" way, but it is the easier way.
In reply to: Re: Consumer options?
Great points @laredoflash -- the Internet can indeed be a finicy thing and perhaps the IoT movement is putting too much stock into it being available to us 24/7? I have my deep concerns about this as well.

I like to your additon of the IT Fix-It person @James - But I wonder if in the future, we'll eventually have appliances that are highly modular. So if a sensor breaks or is acting up, it may be as simple as unscrewing part...

@Kelly22 - Yeahhhhh, right???? I think we've stumbled upon something here.
In reply to: Re: is it an iPad or monitor?
That's a good point. When the 'correct use case' is shooting fire, that's not a good sign for the company. Aspiring fireball-throwers better get this while it's still on the market.

I hope that company has truly awesome lawyers. If people are suing because McDonalds sold them coffee that was too hot and they spilled it on their lap, lawyers are going to love this one. Usually the legalese says "Company...

Omg! One of the senior execs was asking me my opinion on whether he should get a new iPhone - he has a 5 right now. He is older and his sight isn't all that great so in theory the iPhone 6 plus should be a winner. That...

This is nuts. If you can light a tiki torch with one of these things and film it, you'll break the Internet.

InformationWeek Tech Digest, Dec. 9, 2014Apps will make or break the tablet as a work device, but don't shortchange critical factors related to hardware, security, peripherals, and integration.
Building a Mobile Business Mindset
The differences between mobile apps and conventional Windows clients, or even web applications, are far more than skin deep. Yes, the touch-versus-keyboard interface, APIs, and programming languages are new, but that’s arguably the easy part. There are profound differences in how the two are built, the functionality each prioritizes, the release cycles on which they’re developed — even the attitudes, values, and work styles of the developers creating them.
