I want a general purpose kindle: interface economy and value rather than "bliss"

5 pointsby lzimmabout 15 years ago
i guess an ipad with e-ink and a keyboard<p>something great on the eyes, reserving battery life for performance rather than flashy graphics that people adjust to FAR faster than most ever adjust to interactions that were clearly afterthoughts to gradients and bevels<p>something that lets me connect to a worldwide plethora of apis across the web to just get stuff done quickly and easily with no fuss, understanding that i appreciate good design as much as anyone, and that good design is about building things that are useful for people BEYOND my grandma and that real UI doesn't need gloss<p>something that frees developers to innovate, rather than worry about the graphic heavy table stakes jobs et al. threw down<p>anyone else?
