Ah, I see. There may be lists more geared towards this type of question. Particulalry ones with lots of industrial designers. maybe others on the board can chime in.
I wonder if you can find some guidelines (even rough ones based on people's experiences). They would give you a shortest path to 'heuristics'. I also suggest doing a rudimentary task analysis with heavy doses of common sense around context. For example if the device has a case how easy or difficult is it to take it out and put it back in a case. If it takes a while to display the reading what happens while we're waiting etc. Best of luck. -Adamya On 9/26/08, David Shaw <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Sure... we're investigating some peripheral devices to our product (medical > measurement devices like a blood sugar meter, etc.).
