From Jakob Nielsen's August 18th Alertbox, titled
Mobile Devices: One Generation From Useful:
To succeed, mobile devices must feel like an extension of your main machine: they must provide what's required, but no more, and add the ability to reach home and grab anything you need but didn't bring.
Zach says that Jakob Nielsen gets ridiculed in
graphic design circles, but I think Mr. Nielsen's absolute simplicity is beautiful in regards to mobile content evolution. The fact that he's been using a Danger device for more than six months almost brings a proud geek tear to my eye. You go, Danger! C.T.W.W.L.
