Smartphone + Microsoft Table = Gesture-based Fun

Amnesia Razorfish recently shared their new gesture-based interface between iPhone and iPad (+iPods) and the Microsoft Surface Table. This ultra seamless transfer is the stuff we've seen in movies. I can just imagine the impacts this could have with businesses and communications. The thought of sitting around a table designing marketing material with my communication partners is exciting. But to also allow all of us to grab the work instantly - this is a whole new way to collaborate and share. I am excited for other developers to join the table market and see how far interfaces can go. Talk about geeky meets cool!

   

Sifting through the numbers

It's a jungle in there. Where? In the Apps store of iTunes of course. Did you know there are more than 10,000 applications available for the iPhone? If you've surfed the app store, you realize how overwhelming it is to find something meaningful. Especially if you're expected to pay for it. Seriously, how many digital clocks, lighters, fart sounds, or light saber applications does one need? Then you find something that looks great. Yet, there is a price associated with it. AKA, not free. Should I splurge and pay for it? The screenshots look ok. But $4.99? Just to keep track of my nail clippings? Hmmm, tough call.

Worry no more friend. The folks over at LivingSocial have created a place to share the apps you use and offers your likes and dislikes. It's hopefully going to be the place to read all about the apps that you are thinking about purchasing. You do have to join before adding or reading information on their site. Alsol know this section of their site is new. So not a ton of members yet. But worth a look. You will definitely be a hit the next time you're at a party and you swamp iPhones and compare apps. You're gonna have the best and newest apps there. Trust me.
