When talking menus just aren't futuristic enough, we reckon Teraoka's Deli Touch pen -- which strongly reeks of LeapFrog's Tag -- is the next best thing. The system works with barcode-laden menus and enables customers to simply swipe their choices and have them beamed directly to the kitchen. Besides hastening the order process and keeping the interaction between customer and waiter / waitress at a minimum, the device may also give you a solid reason to skimp on the tip -- not that we'd recommend such a thing, of course. Unfortunately, we've no idea if this setup is built to play nice with picky eaters and their laundry list of special requests, so we'd probably recommend steering clear unless you're totally cool with the standard fare.
Tablet PC devices seem to be getting overshadowed (as always) by other initiatives at this year's WinHEC, but scrappy Arizona outfit InPlay Technologies is hoping to swing some attention back to the platform with the release of the InPEN, its new computerized RF stylus. Unlike traditional analog styli, the InPEN contains a programmable microcontroller that broadcasts a unique identifier to the tablet, which allows multiple pens to be linked to the system. InPlay is touting several uses for the tech, such as simultaneous editing (each user gets a different color ink), change tracking, and device security, but the company hasn't explained if the system extends the current Windows Tablet Edition digitizer or totally replaces it. We're also curious to know what happens when the stylus battery dies -- can you still use your finger? We probably won't get any answers for a while, as InPlay says it's still shopping the tech to tablet manufacturers.
Olympus also knocked out five new digital cameras in their Stylus line this morning, all of which are weatherproofed. Click on for images and details of each of them:
