I was skimming through the sponsor extranet of the Media Lab tonight and noticed a 35-minute RealVideo from May 2002 of Danger co-founder Joe Britt giving a presentation of the first Hiptop and the Danger (Backend) Service. I don't know why I didn't notice this video a year ago when I got my account--maybe they just added it.

Joe demoed the Hiptop UI and basic apps on a protoype HT1 using an overhead Elmo video camera which sent video of the device to the Bartos Auditorium's huge video screen. As always, the audience let out a collective gasp and applauded when Joe first flipped open the Hiptop screen to reveal the keyboard.

Besides the cool cartoon at the end of the PowerPoint, it was all information we know now. The business propositions Joe described are still compelling and relevant today.
