E.T. and the iPhone

Edward Tufte verlinkt in seinem Post Interface design and the iPhone auf dieses Quicktime Video: iPhone Resolution.

The design ideas here include high-resolution touch-screens; minimizing computer admin debris; spatial distribution of information rather than temporal stacking; complete integration of text, images, and live video; a flat non-hierarchical interface; and replacing spacious icons with tight words. The metaphor for the interface is the information. Thus the iPhone got it mostly right.

Besonders bemerkenswert finde ich den Satz the information becomes the interface.

Das Video ist wirklich sehenswert und sogar in recht guter Qualität.
