It’s the screen that’s attracting me to the diamond and not much else. How hard can it be to put a little slot for a micro SD. Otherwise how am I going to get stuff in bulk onto the device. Don’t tell me to use active sync please!

Battery life is a big concern. Often you are using several transceivers at once. Hpsdpa and Bluetooth and gps for example start to really cane that battery. Also this device has a bigger screen and a faster processor than mine. That worries me. I think htc have gone for all out look and suavity that might not necessarily translate to usability.

Instead id prefer something a little less chunky than what I have now, with more function. I don’t agree that it’s a zero sum game.

Good to see you’re writing again.
Don’t worry about getting the science right in the first or even the second draft. Just make it plausible.

Just get the drafts done.

Then go back and edit.

Obsessing over the details of the science and tech is just another form of procrastintion.

I’ve read a lot of sci fi, and I read it more for the interesting plot- the story/scenario -rather than the accuracy of the tech.

One or two cool tech concepts- three at most- put the sci in sci fi.

Just get it done.

So what if GPS jumped the reality gap and now can exist in PDAs or helmets.

Embed the circuitry directly in the main characters brain (like George Alec Effinger did with skillware and VR in When Gravity Fails http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_Gravity_Fails )

Since it sounds like you’re going for some kind of ‘Ghost’ mythos along with science, make it cutting edge beta ‘ware with bugs that include ghost like hallucinations drawn from the main charcters subconscious memories (a great way to do flashbacks or training recaps too).
As a subplot, your MC could be desperately seeking a service pack/patch to update his experimental buggy beta ware.
And who has it?
Only the villian, of course.

Don’t Think about it.
Do it.
Write on.

The People Part of Enterprise Collaboration and Virtual Teams Matt offers a list of factors to consider when looking for collaboration tools to support people: group size, timeframe, intended activities, geography, and similarity. He calls this his STA…

I’ve been doing something similar, but found that the delay in launching apps was a bit of an obstacle. I’ve been playing with a Today screen widget that gives you a text box for capturing text. This can then be appended to any previously nominated text file.

I’d be interested to hear your thoughts on this sorta thing.
