One good thing about the iPhone…

23/03/2009 – in: Interaction Design

iphoneOne good thing about the iPhone is the hard key for silence mode. This is such a highly used feature that it’s quite shocking that Nokia didn’t think about this before… On a Nokia phone you will have to select ‘Menu’ then ‘Profile’ and then ‘Silence’ – not so quick… Hard keys on mobiles are usually used for volume controls, taking a picture, on/off switch etc. The logic is that if you need to do something very frequently and quick, it should be available on the top level interface. There is a limit on how many hard keys you can put on a device so it is very important to prioritize what are the most likely to be used features.
