John Naughton enumerates the impact of the iPhone on the mobile phone, computer hardware and software industries. According to Naughton 'Future generations will see software as something that is downloadable and cheap - and runs on your phone.'
Update. TechCrunch's post on Kindle's partnership with Offbeat travel guides reinforces the point: “you can also view these on your iPhone if you go somewhere and don’t feel like carrying around a Kindle.”

An occasional listing of notes and anecdotes on user-centred design

Alison Black - I'm a psychologist and, having worked for many years in the design of user-centred products and services, am now Professor of User-Centred Design at University of Reading, UK.
Why Brain Attic?
In 'A Study in Scarlet' Arthur Conan Doyle wrote: "I believe that a man's brain is like a little empty attic, and you stock it with such furniture as you choose....the skillful workman will have...nothing but the tools which will help him doing his work..."
As we now know, Conan Doyle's analogy doesn't quite tell the full story of the brain but nevertheless this blog is a place for me to store notes that, if not logged here, might be forgotten.
