Writing on the tablet
“I'm not convinced that's the future. Google's Tim Bray rightly points out that input is one of the big limitations of mobile devices. Writing isn't a panacea, especially in a world where many people are increasingly comfortable dealing with miniature keyboards both hard and soft. But, in an environment where input has to largely take place through a single sheet of glass, it's a bit hard to believe that high resolution writing and drawing don't have some role to play.”

Nintendo 3DS: Everything you need to know about Ninty's 3D handheld

“Along with just about everyone else (and their grans) we really, really like the Nintendo DS handheld family. Apart from being one of the only handhelds in history to support a stream of consistently decent first and third party titles, it holds a special place in our hearts for bringing touchscreens to the unwashed masses before they were cool. That's why we're very happy that the newest iteration, the Nintendo 3DS, has finally been officially announced at this year's E3 gaming conference in LA.”
