I had the same experience with switching to a Mac. Now, I would never go back. Most web application developers use Macs as well. I agree with what Samuel Sobart says about kids being the best testers. My brother is starting to develop games for iPhone and Android, and he always have kids test them out. --Moe

I can’t figure out why Palm only lets me have 4 icons on an otherwise blank desktop. If I want more, I have to look at a long list of apps. Every other desktop on the planet lets me plop down as many icons as I wish.

I was told that kids are your best testers if you’re going for an intuitive interface. If they can’t figure out how to make your stuff work without a manual, adults will be dead in the water, too. If they’re having so much fun they don’t want to give your hardware back, you’re on to a winner.

Great website mate. I have been browsing through your posts, excellent work. Keep up the good work.

In regards to the touch UI, I really like the Blackberry models which provide ‘feedback’ (Vibrations) when you touch the screen. Amazing !

I read this entry last month, and said to myself “Outline Tracker could display more detail on an item when you rotate the device!”. Take a look at 1.3, which I just submitted today.

It frustrates me too when I see the picture inverting when I turn my camera in different directions. Why not to implement this simple thing in mobile devices? Everything is still very unnatural.
