I did take these photos quite a while before I wrote the blog post. I, too, have noticed changes to the DDS screen lately, but not enough to actually change this evaluation ;) Arthur, you’re probably right.

Particularly the pictures of the DDS project, since I heard that they changed their user interface at the end of May, 2008. Your article is dated July 8, but I wonder when the pictures were taken.

Perhaps a sanitiser courtesy wipe, like an airplane toilet, is in order?;D I like that I get to see where I am going. Would like the driver to be afforded the same luxury...

I think they are designed well and have some trusted names for each respective content catergory. New, Weather, Sports, Business News and restaurant info is certainly something I would grab on my Blackberry, Newspaper, the Internet or Tv during the course of my day so why not pass the time in a ridiculously long cab ride getting better informed. They could improve some things but overall I think it's great and use it often. the other ones NBC and DDS are a mess and provide no useful information (or don't even work) whatsoever. So when you say they are all "pretty pittifully designed", I have to respectfully disagree. ABC/Verifone has done a nice job. I really like the ABC screens.

We were just talking about the touchscreens, and I have to say they're a bit much. They seem much better in theory than in practice. First, concentrating on watching them makes me a little queasy. Second, who else touched this thing? Cushman! We were just talking about the touchscreens, and I have to say they’re a bit much. They seem much better in theory than in practice.

First, concentrating on watching them makes me a little queasy. Second, who else touched this thing?
