Comment Re:Smartphones can be quite awkward (Score 1) 290

I just realized I may have a use case for myself. I have been 2-3km out on the lake on my OC1 with my phone in a waterproof case and strapped to the boat. It's there for absolute emergencies, and I would not dare take it out. A waterproof smartwatch could actually be useful to me, especially if I could take/make a call.

Comment I was a developer ... Re:People like you. (Score 1) 115

I bought the device as a developer, fully knowing that the device was not ready for the mass market, BUT at the time the message from Agenda Computing was that the consumer release was to happen within 4 months. That statement to me implied a certain level of readiness and usability in the software and hardware platform which the device failed to meet from the very beginning.

It quickly became obvious that IMO the device was not going to be anywhere near usable for about a year by anyone but hard-core hardware, kernel and X11 hackers who would be working out the issues with Agenda's hardware and their software distribution.

I bought the Agenda to develop productivity applications for a viable platform, NOT to help Agenda Computing in chasing down their bugs and fix poorly implemented core features.

The platform was not viable simply because of the poor usability of the character recognition system that no-one was working on in any sugnificant manner.

Cheers.
