William Gibson:

Good interface design is as transparent as possible, because I don’t want to have to think about it. I just want to write, or do whatever else I’m doing, and not have to think about whatever I’m doing it on.

Robino Jones:

This test is really only to show that the 4S is coming close to the 5D but in NO WAY is it better. The iPhone is a great 1080p pocket camera and shows us where technology is heading. Give it two three years and we should see some interesting micro high performance cameras.

TFT Central: The HP ZR2240w uses LG Display’s LM215WF3-SLC2, a 6-bit plus A-FRC e-IPS LCD with a W-LED BLU. Color gamut is 72% NTSC, 75% Adobe RGB, and 97% sRGB. Viewing angles are great with almost no off-center color or contrast shift. If only the ZR2240w used a full 8-bit panel instead.

Engadget: The Samsung Galaxy Nexus sports a huge 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED display with a 1280×720 pixel format. Should be perfect for viewing 720p HD content. I’m unsure whether the sub-pixel format is RGB or PenTile Matrix. The Galaxy Nexus is the first Ice Cream Sandwich Android smartphone. Poor Motorola.

Vlad Savov, Engadget:

The subtle, pervasive lag that has characterized the Android UI since its inception is still there, which is not a heartening thing to hear when you’re talking about a super-powered dual-core device like the Galaxy Nexus.

The lag is so subtle, yet so infuriating.

Andy Rubin as quoted on AllThingsD:

I don’t believe that your phone should be an assistant. Your phone is a tool for communicating. You shouldn’t be communicating with the phone; you should be communicating with somebody on the other side of the phone.

Alexander Graham Bell would agree.

Andy Rubin as quoted in This is my next:

I don’t think there should be apps specific to a tablet. If someone makes an ICS app it’s going to run on phones and it’s going to run on tablets.

This strategy works as long as there are little differences between ICS phones and tablets.

YonHap News: Jong-kyun Shin, Samsung’s mobile president, on the eve of the company’s Galaxy Nexus launch:

Now we will avoid everything we can and take patents very seriously.

Samsung should have taken patents seriously from the very beginning.

DIGITIMES: AUO at FPD International 2011:

• 4.29-inch qHD using Hyper LCD
• 4.46-inch with 1-mm bezel
• 6-inch transparent OLED
• 12.3-inch free-form cut car LCD
• 4.46-inch with 53% less power consumption
• 4-inch touch OLED with 30% less power consumption

AUO’s Hyper LCD replaces LTPS.

Simon Baker, TFT Central:

Overall I think the screen fits a niche reasonably well as a standard gamut 27″ IPS display with a matte panel coating. It fits somewhere in between the Dell and Hazro models in terms of functions and features as well so its worth considering if you are looking for a new 27″ monitor.
