Very interesting and thought-provoking post on TechCrunch(IT) this evening, entitled CouchPad. Steve brings up an interesting point that Apple and Google are both re-inventing the way we interact with our computing devices. Apple with it’s iPhone OS and Google with Android. Both are parred-down operating systems built from the ground up for simplicity and with newer ways of interacting with your device and the applications and information on them. I, for one, am really excited for what the future holds in this realm. I’ve always been a fan of futuristic computing interfaces (the gesture-based interface in Minority Report remains one of my favorites to this day), and I love seeing things progress and move away from age-old interfaces like the keyboard and mouse. Yes, they are so comfortable and common, but honestly they’re not as efficient as they could be, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for us 10 years down the road.
