Comments on: Startup #154 – Touch Web http://astartupaday.com/2008/12/18/startup-154-touch-web/ Each day I'll post an idea for a new Web 2.0 startup Wed, 21 Apr 2010 20:08:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Addidis http://astartupaday.com/2008/12/18/startup-154-touch-web/#comment-4090 Addidis Wed, 03 Mar 2010 00:13:45 +0000 http://astartupaday.wordpress.com/2008/12/18/startup-154-touch-web/#comment-4090 The thing is I think this will be skipped. Touch doesnt work for every one (myself being one of them). I was for a very brief time a plumber. I sweated pipes together and burned my fingers about 6 times an hour. The calises formed are apparently non conductive. With current tech including prosthetic limbs with mind control Source: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn18603-mindcontrolled-prosthetics-without-brain-surgery.html?DCMP=OTC-rss&nsref=online-news And the new motion pads (i never saved the link to this one since I saw it over 6 months ago on a Japanese site) Sadly this idea will probably never pay off, unless in terms of satisfaction knowing you did it. Medical applications drive production , production drives down cost, low cost drives mass implementation. That being said I can't wait to stop typing (which i suck at) and start thinking.

I was seeing this initially as a web service, but I think there would be some interesting desktop-style applications by partnering with the hardware manufacturers and building a "quick start" app to be used with touch tablets with instant on capabilities, so users could start using the computer while it booted up.

Happy holidays & all the best for 2009! Keep the ideas coming :) Hehe, good stuff! :D Would you see this as a web service so people can keep accessing their stuff with this from every touch device or as an desktop app or even integrated in the OS?

But honestly, I'd love to see this idea get implemented - I'm not going to do it, so someone else might as well take this one on. But if by chance they saw the idea here first and then built it out, I'd maybe want them to buy me a beer or something. Thanks, man!
