It's actually a more general thing: Gestures generally test very bad in user acceptance tests. It's one of these things: Everybody is making a big fuss about all the cool gesture-enabled features of iThingies and Multitouch and everything and if you then go out and test this stuff in market research you find that what people want (or, to be precise: what they tell you that they want) is deep menu structures and textual menus. Why is that? Because all this testing is with users who are new to an application and hence had no time to learn a usage scheme or get used to it. So they prefer what they immediately understand. It's the same if you look at what people who decide after trying Apps base their decision on. Now, long term satisfaction is an entirely different story. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote and *New: iPeng for iPad*, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86487 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
