The Unofficial Apple Weblog has an interesting post about the iPod’s simple but aging UI. See this page to read the article.
The author’s main point is that the iPod’s user interface is efficient and usable, but hasn’t really kept pace with its DAP (digital audio player) competitors. He makes a couple of suggestions for “improvements” (they are actually somewhat dubious), and asks the TUAW readership for their suggestions on how to improve the iPod’s UI.
The article is interesting mainly for the varied comments. Some people are completely focused on eye-candy (“Apple should add a screensaver to the iPod…”), while others suggest geniune improvements.
It’s refreshing to see what the lay people say about usability and desired features. I sometimes get a little tired of hearing my colleagues’ opinions.
