Really? Comparing it to the Nexus One, which was also widely considered unsuccessful for Android? And on top of that the comparison showing that the N1 sold non-trivially more units in 74 days than the N900 sold in 5 months? I'd say that yes, that's a problem for Nokia.

Alright, stop us if you've heard this one before -- but seriously, we've noticed an uptick on the tip lines here at Engadget in the last couple weeks that's becoming difficult to ignore. It's one thing to say "hey, the iPhone is launching on Verizon," but we're noticing a particular confluence of facts that has us intrigued: it'll drop sometime in Summer, possibly in concert with the announcement that Verizon's first commercial LTE networks have gone live, and -- tread carefully here, because this is pretty difficult to believe and we don't want to get your hopes up only to have them smashed into a million pieces -- it'll supposedly even be a 4G launch device. We've gotten surprisingly specific details both from Verizon employees and tipsters whose companies are supposedly under NDA with Verizon to test enterprise deployments of the handset later this year, and they're all sending basically this same message. Read on!Continue reading Verizon iPhone chatter is getting harder (than usual) to ignore

Just in time for the weekend, here's a technology that's arrived before its time, I think. Winscape is a set of two plasma televisions set up behind window panes, and hooked up to a Mac Pro. The Pro is running the custom Winscape software, which controls the "view" out of the windows according to a sensor (they show it in the video above attached to a baby, and it actually looks really large and pretty unwieldy). So as the sensor moves around the room, the view changes, as if you were moving angles while looking out of the windows to get a different view.TUAWWinscape: Apple-powered fake windows originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Fri, 16 Apr 2010 22:00:00 EST.

AWESOME.
- Nathan ChaseLists are cool and Twitter’s new Annotations feature is a game-changer. But, as a programmer, there is one little niggle I have with both.
Both features enshrine special cases into the Twitter data model.
My following information looks like this:
{ following: [@mithulucraft, @soundboy, ...] lists: [ "ruby": [@dhh, @Georgio_1999, ...], "funny": [@Alanucci, ...] ] }
wait a minute, why not abstract this up a level:
{ lists: [ "following": [@mithulucraft, @soundboy, ...], "ruby": [@dhh, @Georgio_1999, ...], "funny": [@Alanucci, ...] ] }
Consumers of the old API can always be redirected to the “following” list and they won’t notice any difference. Consumers of the new API only have one kind of thing to deal with. There would be Lists, and nothing else.
Instead we have two things to deal with. Lists, and another list-like thing that is not an actual List.
This has made Lists second-class citizens in most of the Twitter apps I use (including twitter.com), which means they haven’t been as useful as they might have been.
Under the new system, a Tweet looks like this:
{ date: Fri 16th Apr 2010 21:37:45, author: @danlucraft, body: "Finally got around to watching the Archeowhatsit presentation from 2008 by Giles Bowkett. WORTH IT." geo: London, annotations: [ {namespace: "link", key: "49-61", value: "http://www.infoq.com/presentations/archaeopteryx-bowkett"}, {namespace: "user", key: "75-88", value: "@gilesgoatboy"} ] }
(That’s an example of an entire class of service - url shorteners - that annotations make obsolete by the way.)
Instead, we could have:
{ annotations: [ {namespace: "tweet", key: "date", value: "Fri 16th Apr 2010 21:37:45"}, {namespace: "tweet", key: "author", value: "@danlucraft"}, {namespace: "tweet", key: "body", value: "Finally got around to watching the Arch..."} {namespace: "tweet", key: "geo", value: "London"}, {namespace: "link", key: "49-61", value: "http://www.infoq.com/presentations/archaeopteryx-bowkett"}, {namespace: "user", key: "75-88", value: "@gilesgoatboy"}, ] }
Again, consumers of the old API will only see the “tweet” namespaced stuff and won’t notice any difference. Consumers of the new API will only have one kind of thing to deal with.
Instead, a Tweet contains two kinds of things: pieces of data called ‘annotations’ that can contain anything, and also some other data too.
I should say that although I find this annoying (and I guarantee any other programmer will as well), it’s not important.
Programmers spend a lot of their time looking for ways to turn 2 kinds of thing into 1 kind of thing, and when we are able to do this we call it “elegant”. It’s just a quirk we have.
It does make Lists a bit like second-class citizens, but annotations are going to be just as massively useful. People like me will just have a little bit more work to do.
One more thing. Twitter is turning itself from a social network into a gigantic tuple-space pubsub platform that just happens to have a big social network implemented on top of it. Both of the above decisions grandfather the social network into the design of the platform.
In the short run that’s great for the social network but in the long run … will it restrict the platform?
