I personally have the video where Larry Ellison mentions Information Appliance. Jondel 10:05, 15 May 2004 (UTC)~~
This article seems to be all over the place, and links to a bunch of stuff that's distantly related (Compact HTML). It's hard to make an article about something as vaguely defined as "information appliance," but I'm sure we can all agree on the basics and get rid of the POV stuff (Walled Gardens section) and other extraneous bits. -- Foofy 14:54, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Further, Raskin was the man who coined the term "information appliance" so I feel it's best to use his definition, which is just a device that handles (processes) a particular type of data. "Internet appliance" adds the concept of connectivity, and was not a part of Raskin's definition. So the connectivity requirements and the "Walled Garden" section are better suited for that article. -- Foofy 15:35, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
An ideal world is a subjective concept and the use of this term detracts from the objectivity of the article.
Uh connectivity doesn't have to be limited to the internet. Some cell phones intentionally don't have internet. -- Jondel 04:13, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I think the section is relevant, since there is a growing perception that information devices must connect and be seamless and not only by internet but by wifi, bluetoot, wimax, etc. I'm going to revert.-- Jondel 02:35, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
As I've asked: do we cover the original definition or whatever vague definition people use now? I think we can cover both and link to the appropriate term (internet appliance).
Further, Walled Gardens is a bit POV and out of place to begin with. -- Foofy 05:19, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Get some rest and lets put more focus into the article when your ready. Someone else might see your point and its best to fix it now. Wall gardens seem to be applicable to everything. Like a company dominating bycicle parts, car parts,etc. But are more for computers and platforms. I will try to put more definite crystal clear definitions. well , I've put a lot of effort into this article despite that I have to accept others may mercillesly edit this article.
(For research and confirmation)-- Jondel 06:57, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Can I nominate this term for deletion as not notable? Mathiastck ( talk) 00:34, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
