Shall we put together a usability team so these user centered design efforts continue? I'm a usability expert and would love to get engaged on a mobile device project. We could do personas, interviews, usability tests, etc... Any takers? Sounds like a great idea. I would love to get some usability feedback from proper usability analysis on the current design. Perhaps we can start a discussion on the openmoko-apps mailing list? That is the mailing list for the official applications. Perhaps you could post a mail suggesting some starting points and some basic things everyone could try? Regards, Thomas -- OpenedHand Ltd.

Re: Usability team?
Sorry for the slow reply, it's been a long week. As I stated in my previous email, I'm currently in university and am taking some courses in HCI. I'm interested in this as well and will join the openmoko-apps mailing list. Thanks, Justin On 10/12/07, Jeremy G [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I could also be interested in this.
