Posts Tagged ‘Ipad’
“iPad apps are inconsistent and have low feature discoverability, with frequent user errors due to accidental gestures. An overly strong print metaphor and weird interaction styles cause further usability problems.”
That’s the damning verdict on the iPad from usability guru Jakob Nielsen. Other findings from the Nielsen report include:
- The tab bar at the bottom of the screen works much less effectively on the iPad than on the iPhone. The iPad’s much bigger screen means that users are typically directing their gaze far from the tab bar and they ignore (and forget) those buttons.
A week after the Ipad’s launch, which has seen 450,000 units sold according to Steve Jobs, there have been plenty of ‘hands-on’ reviews expressing concerns about the device’s ergonomics and how it may affect sufferers of conditions like repetitive strain injury and carpal tunnel syndrome.
Here’s a selection of reviews which look at the ergonomics of the Ipad.
Ben Long, from Macworld, thought that “the iPad does nothing that I can’t do with any of my other computers, or my iPhone.
Early reviews of the Apple Ipad have raised concerns about the ergonomics of its design.
Two days before the official US launch of the Ipad, key American reviewers have been given previews of the gadget – but early feedback has suggested the ergonomics of the Ipad may be poor.
Business Insider said it was “stumped about how we’re going to comfortably hold the Ipad for extended periods of time”, after watching an Apple video walkthrough of the Ipad.
