| Abstract: | In September 1996, NewsPad - one of the first serious prototypes ever of the portable tablet computer went on show during Edinburgh's iTV96 Conference. The NewsPad experience is recounted and analyzed and, simultaneously, a story is told of the explicit implementation of the socio-technical constituencies theoretical approach to guide and inform the innovation process in highly uncertain conditions. The discussion is structured in short sections from the visions and realities of the portable tablet computer to the successful demonstration of the working NewsPad in Edinburgh. |
