I haven't seen this one, nor heard of it, but I love Bruce Willis movies.
The field of candidates for DIAD 5 is narrowing down. Most of the devices you may have seen in the previous test were not submitted by their manufacturer for final consideration as the DIAD 5 device. The goal of the previous test wasn't to identify the DIAD 5 terminal, but rather the "20 things you liked and 20 things you disliked" about each one. Now the hope is that the knowledge gained from that testing can be used to help choose the next generation DIAD.
One thing that is exceedingly obvious is that no one likes that one special key
It would be nice if it had an internet connection and a web cam so you could see and talk to your family during you 20 minute lunch hour, you know all the forced overtime we work cuts in to the family time.
Yeah, because that will be the first thing UPS uses videoconferencing with drivers for... their families.
I spent a day with one of the 'narrow it down for features' devices. I also spent close to an hour writing my comments and talking to the team that was at our center. I thought my comments were thorough and sincere and it seemed that the design team took my comments seriously. Plus, they had good thoughts about the design also.
I have confidence that the diad V team is listening.

The Center Manager could fire us online too....it would save them time!
all well thought out ideasIn todays day in age I would think we would have something more simple and high -tech. I would like to see something bluetooth like in the HUB. Something the size of a BlackBerry that would clip to our belt with a bluetooth ring scanner tethered to it. And if a signature was required then you could pull the "BlackBerry" out and have them sign the screen. And if it was a real "communication device", then maybe we could use is as a phone to contact other service providers or members of our management team thru either text or talk. Only numbers programmed by your management team would be able to be used. And to satisfy said management messages between drivers would be duplicated to the center so they knew we weren't using it for personal use.
just some thoughts.
A 16 penny galvanized finnishing nail works good ----------just kidding for all those that take everything so serious
Thanks for taking the time to give some well thought out feedback. One of the problems that the folks running that test had was actually geting people to put their thougths on paper. I'd think that if I had to bsaically be married to this device for the foreseeable future, and someone asked me to give them some comments, I'd want to be sure my voice was heard. Many chose to verbalize their thoughts, but refused to put them on paper. Written comments work much better than verbal because you actually have hard evidence to backup your conclusions from the test, not simply your recallection of what a couple hundred people kinda said.
