Yes, no problem to render this list (note that the site is viewed in its mobile version, MediaWiki autodetects that I use a smartphone and alters a bit the layout, but not the text). Only Tibetan is not correctly displayed for now because I have not found a way to install a font for it, and Lao has some issues.
This is not a complete test though, I still use a Windows PC (laptops and notebook) mosts of the time. And I can't test tablets (I don't think I'll want a tablet for now to replace my notebook, I still want to use traditional keyboards and mice). On the go, I will prefer a smarthpone that fits in my vest pocket. We may finally see the development of tablets with a dock station that works like a notebook with additional hardware, CPU, disk storage, DVD player/burner, large 5.1 audio, cumfortable keyboards and mice, an additional GPU with HDMI output and everything you want on a traditional PC, but even then I'm not sure I would unplug the screen to turn it into a mobile tablet: I will still want to use a smartphone that should better integrate with my non-mobile environment, as if it was a supplementary screen and input device. It should also offer a native virtual desktop to connect from remote to my home or work environment via the Internet and with the possibility of syncing some contents even from remote (how many times I went away and forgot my last photo collections or some documents? And why do I need to store everything on the mobile device, using extra storage plus too many apps that just pumps the battery?) If the world is going to the "cloud" direction, we should be able to use any device with any convenient form factor, to access to our prefered clouds (not necessaily hosted on the Internet). OS differences should disappear if there was a real developement for a cloud OS where all access devices are just extending out own clouds with some input and output capaiblities adapted to the form factor. All applications should be able to run from everywhere and without even requiring multiple installations. This includes the need for equal treatments of text renderings and portable fonts that can be synced automatically. All OS distributors should work on creating a base set of fonts needed to support all languages and scripts of the world (not necessarily in many styles), with a repository of webfonts that an be synced and cached automatically. It is no longer acceptable to see square boxes for texts written in modern languages and soon people will want to be able to read also technical documents with collections of symbols from anywhere too, even if they can't easily input them on their device. Input methods should also be ported to include also user preferences on their layouts for the various device form factors they want to use (physical keyboards or virtual on-screen touch keyboards) We should also be able to extend any smartphone with additional input devices with a Bluetooth or WiFi connection, or by the USB plug. But the main problem of mobile devices is still their battery: you can't fit everything in your device, but you also cannot use mobile access networks due to the slow speed and cost of data transfers; if those prices were lowered, we could host most CPU/GPU and memory/storage capabilities remotely, and save lots of battery life on the mobile device (no smartphone can work today at least for 24 hours, and finding a place to recharge the device is still difficult) 2011/11/4 Shriramana Sharma <[email protected]>: > On Fri, Nov 4, 2011 at 8:05 PM, Philippe Verdy <[email protected]> wrote: >> he wants apparently, and suppress/disable some modules.
