BlackBerry previously gave us a peek at a device that is in the category breaks - as the Padfone revolutionary, called passport. I expressed my... uncertainty about the wisdom of the decisions of design in the creation of this thing square 4.5 inch with a physical keyboard then. But now it is the turn of BlackBerry to articulate some of his reasoning behind the Passport, with a blog post in which he avoids the caller either a phone or a Tablet directly .
The blog asks 'Why?' Emphasis on a line that is clean, so BlackBerry at least is aware that this is a bizarre device that has some people, like me, scratching their heads. The 4.5 inch on the gadget display is square, not rectangular, which means that it is almost as wide as two iPhones placed side-by-side.
The answer to "Why?" Start with something academic typology, which is not a good way to explain a decision of design for a mobile device, in my opinion. But wait! The academic thing means that the Passport is supposed to be the optimal size for reading e-books, flipping through documents and parts of text-heavy web reading. WHO IS THIS BUSINESS PEOPLE DO!
BlackBerry blogger Matt Young continues to articulate a few different scenarios where the Passport unique ID will be a perfect digital companion, notably for architects and professionals of the real estate of switching between plans and the docs of the contract; physicians control the x-ray and the forms of patient information; financiers are watching the stock market up and down. and writers searching for the joys that a real physical keyboard can bring.
I remain skeptical, but BlackBerry is at least a different approach for the smartphone / Tablet / whatever-mobile-computer, the design of everything that has been largely standardized in recent years. Basically, however, at this point, the only question which remains is whether this idea is better or worse than the smartphone screen curved noveltylicious.
