Garrick Van Buren and I have been talking about doing a regular technology podcast for a while now (since we sat down to talk about attention). Last week we finally got around to, well . . . still talking, but with microphones involved and the result is Episode 1 of The Glass is Too Big, the podcast, ready to abuse your headphones.
We talk about device convergence and why the whole idea is a red herring (and why it bugs me). More of the conversation will be coming as Episode 2 and will deal with business models in digital content.

the comments under the podcast are hosed. It looks like someone put an < img src= blank in there? Anyhow, I agree with your points about calendars and sharing except: you mentioned that Outlook lets you add an emailed event notice to the calendar. Gmail does this too, in a way. When I get an event notice through gmail, it gives me a chance to add it to my google calendar. There isn't real "invite" that you can reply to and have it affect your calendar, though.

Let me correct that. Upon testing, an invite sent from outlook to gmail does get treated like an actual event and adds the event to the google calendar.

I fixed the comments on GTB.com.
That's cool that the mail and calendar are integrated that well. That's exactly the kind of thing we were talking about in the discussion and is a great development.
That's what a reasonable system would do and that's all people expect from this stuff. That it "just works" and does something reasonable when asked to do something.
