I think I mentioned this already, but this sounds a *lot* like what I feel like
playing with the (very alpha) zmachine on the newton. There is no typing - the
UI is written so you tap on any word you want in the input line (or you can fight
the handwriting recoginition for odd words), and the portability is self evident.
The folding screen and voice activation will be saved for rev 2.0 (:
Actually, maybe a folding screen would reduce the screen glare problem!
What I'm really ranting about here is that the playing IF on a newtoneque device
is a very different experience that I expected. I just wanted to replay some of
the games I loved in my youth, but the effect of being able to carry them around,
pop them out, and play a few moves in your spare time is exhilirating. Much more
fun than anything else you can do with these types of technologies.
