Re: May be the time to start some buzz around our frustration with Apple.

Hello,

I posted an update of a video (http://users.telenet.be/michel.tilman/iPadST/Browser.mp4) showing an embryo of a mini ST browser on an iPad simulator. The application queries a Smalltalk server. I am not fanatical about the iPad (and I obviously prefer coding in Smalltalk), but for the moment the simulator is about the best I have. (I tried the Android simulator a couple of times, but compared to the iPad's it is very rough and slow, and it currently does not reach the same resolution I think). My main goal right is to get some experience with (Smalltalk environments for) such devices.

Regards,

I like your idea Bernard ! Maybe ESUG could organize a special contest
in order to support the Dynabook vision.
We could ask some bug players to sponsors this contest. The main
problem is that the Smalltalk community is maybe a bit to small to
provide enough challengers. I guess EToys, Scratch and Sophie could
already play.

The contest shouldn't be limited to Smalltalk. It should promote the Dynabook vision, but shouldn't be limited to language. Maybe get One Laptop Per Child involved. The more people who are involved, the more Apple will feel left out.

Hello again,

Do we continue to explore this as a 'Dynabook Contest' project?

Rule 1 : all programming tools are allowed.

Goal : promotion of ideas, technologies and applications
for Dynabooks/tablets. Produce a major public event/showtime.
Demos available on the Internet as screencasts.

Comitee : as wide as possible, industry, schools/research (ACM ?),
developer communities, technical newspapers.

Sponsors : companies producing or using tablets

First round at Esug ?

Bernard

as ESUG I do not see the point to have other languages.
Then for a tablet use is not necessary limited to the dynabook vision.
