I’ll load the video in english but my version of Dragon Naturally is in french and i am connected to FR bot as well meaning that the interactions between me and the nabaztag will be in FR language.

thanks! is there a link to your project? i am just curious :)

Congratulation for your project.

I built something similar using my Nabaztag, Naturally speaking, Yahoo Pipes + YQL and AIML via pandorabots.

I can now talk to my nabz. My dream would be to buy “voice tracker” (http://www.acousticmagic.com/) in order to make the dialog fluent.

Same thing with “touchscreen-keyboard” and keyboard with keys, you will never type that fast on the first one. And this has nothing to do with training.

Maybe the main problem is how the iPad really fits in the halfway (if there is one) between mobile devices (ie. iPhone) and work computers (ie. iMac/iBook) even for power users (as us) and light users.

Or maybe the question is who really needs this kind of device (powerful, pretty, gorgeous display, innovative, no ports/extensions, no multitasking, no Flash, 500% iTunes Store).

I pass for now, I still waiting (and imaginary working) for something that looks like the iPad but more significant and useful for a wider audience, from the perspective of standards, open platforms and most important, that gives you the power to choose or build your own level/style of work and develop your skills in every aspect of your life in front of a device to build a special bond between the world and you.

The iPhone is very close to this (in therms of approach, not solution), I’m not sure about the iPad :(

P.D. Agrh, it’s very hard to talk about this kind of things opening a clear path between industry commercial interests, behaviors, personal interests, expectations, real/imaginary environments… *Sighs* Maybe the solution is somewhere around us :)

I leave my machine on all the time, so these windows become a trail of my daily activity. I switch rapidly through tasks as the day progresses, moving from one to the next as relevant information comes up. I need to be able to access this all at once or I cannot organize my daily activity organically. If I don’t get back to something, it’s there already for when I eventually do… I can track my progress instead of losing things in a one-by-one shuffle.

While I use my iPhone in bed, I find constantly having to move in and out of apps to do multiple things very annoying. I can only chat OR read a website OR check my mail.

Multitasking is not evil, it’s a part of life.

@Chad: The problem is that you still need to sync your ipod. :-)
In my ‘ideal’ future my music gets synced between all my devices over the net without me ever noticing it. I don’t want to be bothered with these kind of details.

@Fabse: Great to hear from you. Hope you’re having a good time in Denmark!
