iPad: Maybe Usability Isn’t Everything?
When I read about Jakob Nielsen’s usability test findings on the iPad, I can’t help but think of Fred Beecher’s article from last year for Johnny Holland, The iPhone is not easy to use: a new direction for UX Design.
In the article, Fred talks at length about the low usability and learnability of the iPhone and its apps. But he goes on to say that that doesn’t really matter, because the iPhone is fun. And because it gets so many other things right. That’s what makes it a game-changer.
And what’s true for the iPhone is true for the iPad in spades.
