Manage GRC Faster with Drata’s Agentic Trust Management Platform
Maybe they should have called it the Moto 270?
This week I’m joined by special guest Dave Wiskus. Topics include the new look and feel in OS X Yosemite (10.10), Google’s new “Material Design” look and feel for Android, smartwatches (including the new ones Google showed at I/O last week), and Dave’s new behind-the-scenes role at The Talk Show.
Dan Frommer, Quartz:
So perhaps Google is on the right track, and we’ll all be using smartwatches someday. But we’re not there yet — not in the software, hardware, design, or ecosystem. And Apple is going to have to do better than this if it expects the fabled iWatch to dominate.
Now that’s an original form factor — I say this with admiration. Take the logo off the front (please) and you’d know instantly that this is a new BlackBerry. Too little too late to save the company and platform, I suspect, but maybe if they’d come out with something like this in 2010, they might have had something.
