The New York Times reports that Hewlett-Packard and Arizona State University are joining forces to create a portable, flexible display. The new device has the potential to get your news on the go. Oh, wait, that’s what PDAs and cell phones are for. But, hey, if it brings extra eyeballs to the news, then I’m all for it.
On a side note, Arizona State University seems to be on the move these days. I have quite a few colleagues who’ve joined the faculty and staff there to work on innovative projects in journalism, including Retha Hill, who runs the new media lab at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication; Jody Brannon, who directs the Carnegie-Knight News 21 Initiative, Jason Manning, director of student media; and Len Downie, Weil Family Professor of Journalism.
