Devices aren’t responsive
• Communication with the device will become as important as communication between others
• Data entry and manipulation is core to the process
“The feedback from the touch screen – the way it vibrates in acknowledgement.”

the process• Have the device react to user inputs• The device should be proactive, not
reactive to user needs• Learn from user behavior, and predict
actions• Provide haptic feedback when typing
and interacting

Users want control of their devices
• Not only do users require the ability to highly personalize their devices, but they will want to be able to easily organize and manipulate information through the GUI.
• Solutions:• Allow them to organize their own
Copyright © 2007 Molecular, Inc. | www.molecular.com | Linked by Isobar79
• Allow them to organize their own files and data architecture
• Make the information structure as flat as possible (don’t bury things)
• Simplify personalization of ringtones, wallpapers, and system settings
• Enable users to move or hide menus that are not frequently used
![Page 80: Digital Jacknife Aja Xevangerber](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082222/5552a1f1b4c905e8128b531f/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
The learning curve is steep
• Users have to teach themselves to speak the language of the phone. The more the phone can speak to them, the better.
• Solution:
• Use a visual language that they already understand, i.e. windows and files
Copyright © 2007 Molecular, Inc. | www.molecular.com | Linked by Isobar80
i.e. windows and files
• Develop clean iconography at the top levels, combined with simple, intuitive menus
• Avoid unnecessary animations and graphics
“Simplicity and Usability are paramount to all users, but articulating this at point of sale might be challenging.”

It is hard for users to read smaller screens• The screen is the heart of the
GUI. While it can be hard to increase the size of the device, there are ways to increase the value of the available space.
• Solution: • Simplify information, hide
Copyright © 2007 Molecular, Inc. | www.molecular.com | Linked by Isobar81
• Simplify information, hide extraneous data
• Higher screen resolutions squeeze more onto the page
• Avoid distracting animations• Ensure that color palettes
have contrast, but are not jarring
