Android Hardware-Buttons Are (Conceptually)
Broken

post from Daring Fireball on 31 October 2011 06:03:37 PM. © Daring Fireball

Christoffer Du Rietz, on the Android “back” and “menu” buttons:

The sad thing is about all this is that having made the decisionto use these buttons from the start, Google has locked itself ina mess of a UI-model. All Android apps would have to beredesigned should they want to change it around and fix this. Inshort, they?re stuck with a UI that sucks and they can?t fixit because they didn?t think it through thoroughly before thefirst launch.

Looks like they’re trying to fix this starting with the Galaxy Nexus by eliminating the hardware buttons but drawing them on-screen in the OS. Presumably, a future API revision could allow for apps that don’t need these buttons. Anyway, agree with his criticism of these two buttons completely. The Back button taking me somewhere unexpected was perhaps my single-biggest complaint both times I tested an Android phone.

The other lesson: the importance of getting things right, from the outset. If you’re designing just an app, you can fix many design errors later; if you’re designing an app platform, though, it’s hard to fix system-wide design errors without breaking existing apps.

New iPhone 4S Commercials

post from Daring Fireball on 31 October 2011 01:03:23 PM. © Daring Fireball

These are some of the best ads I’ve ever seen. I love how in the Siri spots, the only faces entirely in the frame are the kids. Note too, that the narrator never says “Apple”.

Josh Clark on Edge Gestures

Josh Clark on the new four-finger switching gestures on the iPad in iOS 5:

I’m a huge fan of the spirit of these gestures, but I’m not crazyabout the execution. I wish Apple had followed the interactionalready adopted by other platforms, including BlackBerry Playbook,Nokia N9, and the next version of Microsoft Windows. All of theseplatforms use edge gestures, a technique that is at once moreinternally consistent and more deferential to individual apps.
