Too legitimate quit, Apple has actually produced a product worthy of all the stellar publicity that has been receiving. This, at least, the report usability released last week on using "usability and leading Scandinavian design company interaction" and specialist "firms IT-oriented development. "
On the basis of five case studies of five separate users with completely different patterns of use, iPhone Apple was compared against three other leading smartphones, these being:
- Nokia N95 – run the Symbian operating system S60
- Sony Ericsson W910i – running Linux
- HTC TyTN – Windows Mobile 6
And the results were impressive, answering the question, "Does iPhone live up to the hype? "with an astonishing and almost unequivocal" Yes! "
First, each participant was given five minutes for each device to play and become familiar with each of them, without establishing rules or instructions. Then, participants were asked to perform the following tasks on each device and the report of its ease of use:
- Dialing a phone number manually
- Making a call using the List Contacts / Address Book
- Adjust the volume mid-call
- Add a new contact to your contact list / address book
- Create a new event in Calendar
- Set the alarm
- Compose and send text message
- Place the device silently
- Take a picture with a camera and send someone in your contacts list / address book
After the experiment, each participant was asked which of the smartphones like them if they could choose a right at that moment. Only one of the five not to select the iPhone, Sony Ericsson's choice instead. Four out of five – which is not bad.
When talking about their experiences of all smartphones, the HTC was the least favored, Nokia who received at least an honorable mention.
The report follows on using one of the most remarkable innovations of the iPhone is the removal of "a level of abstraction ", ie having to press the keys on a keyboard and then watch the screen to see what happens. With the object-oriented interface of the iPhone, the user you simply click an icon itself to activate its function.
Scroll up and down the screen to call a contact, the iPhone deletes the extra step of pressing a key the first to focus on a special menu item before then pressing a second key (or the same again) to select and activate this subject, whatever. This elimination of a step function of each two-step is not enough, especially if we consider the functions a particular user performs on your smartphone in a single day.
The report then used to give praise Apple for what he considers three main advantages of the innovative system, being these:
- Transparency – The way each feature is there before your eyes for you to see, making the learning curve of a line near flat
- Accessibility – how often functions can be performed with a single click (or touch)
- Seduction – the way the GUI resources to sight
Make for a phone call to what the iPod has done for music and iTunes has done for the purchase of music, the iPhone is the attempt Apple's recent revolutionizing the way we live our lives, and according to the report, at least, is the fulfillment of expectations quite well.
