TweetDeck RIP

Clark Quinn

To understand, you have to understand several things: When you’re across platforms, sometimes on my Mac, sometimes on my iPad, and sometimes on my iPhone, it’s a major benefit to have one tool that is across the platforms. It surprised me how it could be so good on the iPhone, and so bad on the iPad.

The death of the PDA greatly exaggerated?

Clark Quinn

My daughter got an iPod touch, but within a year we needed to get her a new phone, and it’s an iPhone. It’s a digital platform sans the capability of a cellular voice channel. Which suggests that a device without phone capability is increasingly less feasible. But wait a minute, there are plenty of digital devices sans voice.

Tech travails

I get the image over to my iPhone to try it there, to no avail. After typing in my usual insipid prose, I go to add the image. And it starts, and fails. I try again, and it’s reliably failing. I reexport, and try again. Oh well, that’s life in this modern world, eh?

Designing the killer experience

Clark Quinn

An article on how Apple’s iPhone was designed caused me to reflect. I haven’t been put in the place of having ultimate responsibility for driving a complete user experience for over a decade, though I’ve been involved in advising on a lot on many such. On one such project, I asked early on: “who owns the vision?”

I was glad to get it, as Google Maps wasn’t allowed to do turn-by-turn on the iPhone. I don’t listen to music via headphones much, but for working out these seemed like a great solution, better than figuring out where to carry an iPhone and having the cord dangling.

The (Initial) iPad Experience

Clark Quinn

Given that I already have an iPhone, which would meet immediate email, twitter, and/or web needs when not in WiFi range, I figured I could go with the first one coming out. I made a mistake and synched everything (all photos, music, etc) when I really just wanted the limited set I had on the iPhone, but I was able to rectify that.

My Professional Learner’s Toolkit

Clark Quinn

1 or more smart devices : I’d be lost without my iPhone and iPad (neither of which is the latest model). I have used Dropbox to share documents as well. And of course Mail for email. Reflection: this overlaps with social networks. I use the phone for ‘in the moment’ things, the iPad for when I have longer time frames.
