Bonnier R&D came up with the following great concept for an e-Magazine Reader that offers great colors, animations, user interface and reading experience.

Mag+ from Bonnier on Vimeo.

We at Harbinger are passionate about interactivity and user experience, and have built great user experiences like flip-book on desktop, web and iPhone. The advent of a new breed of devices with touch-screen, accelerometer, GPS etc. opens up great opportunities for software product vendors to create wonderful user experiences. After all, we humans have a fascination with intimate interfaces on flat surfaces to do our work on – think of the amount of time we spend on papers, boards, desks and pads. The computer just had it coming!

So, 2010 is touted to be the year of what is variously named as tablets, slates or pads, and Apple is rumored to be announcing an ‘iSlate‘ this January. Do you think 2010 will be the year when the computer finally starts going flat?

About Harbinger Group

Harbinger Group is a global Advisory-Led Performance Enablement company. For more than three decades, we’ve partnered with organizations in the people business, helping Enterprises, B2B SaaS vendors, and Digital Publishers close the gap between where workforce and learning performance is today and where it needs to be.
We work across Workforce Technology and Digital Learning domains. In each, we diagnose the friction limiting performance first, then engineer the fix, combining strategic advisory with digital product engineering and eLearning content development to deliver solutions built around the workflows, metrics, and outcomes each workforce owns.
Our pedigree in product engineering and digital learning has built a culture of continuous learning. We apply technologies like Agentic AI where they deliver measurable performance gains for our customers not because they’re new, but because they close the gap.
