Very often we see trade off, after trade off, after trade off in product dev - resulting in poor user experience or a product that has little value to begin with

about applying the right tools and having a culture that encourages user centric thinking.

I was looking at the iPhone’s Guided Tour on Apple’s website and wander how much thought/work was put into getting IA and navigation right, as there is limited screen space, quite a bit of functionality embedded within each little widget (Calender, Address Book, etc.) and just one button to go to the home screen.

Eric & Alastair, I’m going to bet this was in the period before takeoff while the passengers were still loading and the pilots were doing their flight prep. That would be the time when an attendant would notice Lane on the phone.

I just hope that we get a better provider if/when it gets to the UK.
