Next-generation UX

August 10, 2010

via 52weeksofux.com

Quote: "At the age of 10 months, my daughter picked up my iPhone one morning, took her index finger and swiped it across the bottom of the screen and unlocked my phone. I was astonished. Actually, I was freaked out. How did she know to do that? Obviously she had seen daddy do it many times. And there was the design. It was one simple button with an arrow and some dazzlingly lit text that made it pretty clear that this thing should and could be moved by touching it. "

Good read by Joshua Brewer with some excellent reference links.

Calling to an e-mail address

August 8, 2010

via engadget.com

The new iOS 4.1 beta 3 reveals the possibility to call to an e-mail address instead of a phone number with Facetime. Sounds weird? Not if you keep in mind that new iPod Touches with camera, but without phone number, will be arriving in a few months time.

Apple's 'black lab' wireless testing facilities

July 17, 2010

via engadget.com

Journalists like Topolsky (Engadget), Gruber (Daring Fireball), Wired and NYT got an unique chance to go behind closed doors at Apple to see their wireless testing facilities. Together with some big names at Apple like Phill Schiller they were shown how Apple tested the iPhone 4.

Oh and they were also testing iPads at that moment. Engineer Ruben Caballero reacted to Engadget by saying that they continuously tested old Apple products. Yeah, sure ;-).

Brand New is one of the best blogs around covering brand identity. Gotta love this new brand identity of JBG, a farm from Austin, Texas. Awesome tomatoes!
