Not content with synchronizing your phones to make one giant speaker? Researchers at the Tokyo University of Technology have developed "Pinch," an interface that lets you connect multiple devices together to form a giant disjointed display. Although the technology behind the interface remains a mystery — described only as a Wi-Fi based system — a video posted by DigInfo TV shows Pinch in action. To connect two devices, a user simply needs to pinch two adjacent screens together. The screens can be linked together in whatever alignment you choose, as the position and screen size of each display is communicated on a successful pinch. It's not the first time developers have managed to link together multiple smartphone displays, but this is definitely the slickest interface we've seen.

Some of you may love the UI of Gmail for iPad. Unfortunately not all of us have iPads, but now we can settle for the second best thing: imitation!

Vector based icons created to aid in the design, development, implementation and promotion of multi-touch interfaces.

As the publishing industry wobbles and Kindle sales jump, book romanticists cry themselves to sleep. But really, what are we shedding tears over?

I held a 6-hour workshop at NSConference in both the UK and USA recently, focusing on software design and user experience. Predictably, an extremely popular topic was the iPad, and how to approach the design of iPad applications. I gave a 90-minute presentation on the subject to start each workshop, and I want to share some of my observations here.

The newspaper industry is falling over themselves in the fight to come up with a ever more impressive newspaper tablet. The problem is that they miss the point completely (as I wrote about in "The Future of News, Tablets, and Business Models").

Earlier this week Penguin presented their vision for how they could translate their book into the ebook format. Or rather, how they can really make us of digital publishing to create much better books.

is the iPad just a big iPhone?

A couple of folks called out “yeeeeesssss” right here, but didn’t have the cojones to follow it up later

Let’s get this out of the way:

NO.

Bien sûr que l'iPad n'est pas un gros iPhone, vu qu'on ne peut pas téléphoner avec : c'est un gros iPod Touch !

“But 1024x768 isn’t very much space”, you say. “I have a 19” monitor”, you say. But how many programs do you keep open in a 1024x768 window (other than Safari)? Hmmm?

Je n'utilise pas Safari sous Windows, vu qu'il plante tout le temps, et tant pis si les ingénieurs de chez Apple n'arrive pas à protéger Safari des crashs des plugins, et sous Mac j'hésite vu qu'il crashe en flamme avec la bookmarklet pour blogmarks.net. Alors, sous Mac, très peu, vu que contrôler rapidement la taille d'une fenêtre sous Mac est une gageure. Sous Windows, quasiment toutes les applications. Au final, 23 diapos pour nous dire qu'avec l'iPad on n'aura pas les problèmes d'interface utilisateur qu'on rencontre sous MacOS X. Ca vaut le coup.

During Apple's 90 minute unveiling of the iPad this week, a lot of new multi-touch interactions were shown off. But they went by fast. So as a service to digital product designers everywhere, we took the time to extract 8 minutes of new user interface demos from the iPad keynote. Now you can quickly just catch the UI in action on Apple's new native iPad and iWork applications.
