Just finished an article on the hype surrounding the Apple Tablet PC. There are two things that appear apparent if history serves itself. One, Apple has created plenty of free press on the hype and why not, the iPhone is a HUGE success, so it breeds itself. And two, the user experience will likely be one of the best in computing. It appears a late January announcement is imminent.

Clean user flow
I've been a fan of 37 Signals, a Chicago company that makes Backpack and Highrise products for the Internet (www.37signals.com). Their products offer excellent user interface design and the principals in the company are cult legends in the SaaS world. I recently took notice of a new blog for them called Design Explorations and it is an excellent narrative on the way software designers come to make decisions regarding user interface design.
I was especially intrigued by the posting regarding due dates on to-dos and not so much for the actual thought process, but more in the actual UI flow. You can find the post with a video at 37signals.com/designexplore/Basecamp_To-dos.
One of the principals at 37 Signals was one of the original architects of Ruby, an object oriented programming language. There is some Javascript here as well but the interactivity is outstanding with no screen refresh to accomplish the experience.
