I was drinking when i read that and almost sprayed the place.... perfect NOOB lol

that's the parallel I had in mind.

Now if we could just get a screenshot mockup of a rotating cube with some of what i described that would be great...

I mean come on, we think our phones are good conversation pieces and all but they arent exactly screaming "hey look at this"... but an action packed rotater screen could make it a bit more futuristic/interesting.

I'd call it the "rotato"... It's pealing the dirty old today skin off the potato-like phone and rotating ...similar to the Rotato device "seen on tv"...

how 'bout them app... err, potato's

i get you now.. kind of like pointcast for the PC, if anyone remembers that..

Raging Idiot · #16 (**permalink**) 04-28-2008, 11:33 PM

not exactly...pointcast pushed content, where-as I'm wanting to pull the content. Not any different than the weather apps we are using. Just envisioning pulling any predefined linked image/page at a predefined interval.
With the bonus of having it rotate/switch out. This should be rather feasible.

I am a software engineer with over 11 years experience creating solutions for Windows PCs and servers. I also happen to be looking to write my fist mobile application. Your idea interests me.

interesting... me too. 11+ years developer/DBA.
lol, just has taken me too long to get started with this, so passing the torch.

Dont let the lack of response on this fool you, soon everyone will want to give it a spin.
Once a demo is displayed with a setup something like I mentioned then it'll quickly be a hit. Without the pics it doesnt entirely get the message across..

yeah people just arent grasping the potential yet but thas cool... kinda reminds me of the hoverboard from back to the future II, one of the coolest products never to make it to the real world... wanted one for my 12th birthday and my parents searched hi and low to find me one only to discover it didnt exist... never really got over the sting of that growing up

... group hug?

haha... Matel received hundreds of calls about the hoverboard because Doc in B2F said something to the effect that they had been out for years and companies just didnt want to release them.
Nice analogy though... MagLev trains can do it, you would think there would be some sort of special floor&board combo that could do it. The existing AirBoards are just too bulky, but a MagLev board on a special foundation seems within reason..although rather dangerous.
Didnt want to derail my own thread... lol

now if i can just get my phone to hover when I drop it...
