The Best Product Designs of 2006

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the shiny-toys-get-recognition dept.

conq writes "BusinessWeek has made available IDSA's annual list of the best designed products of the year." From the article: "The Talking Tactile Tablet system allows visually impaired individuals to access graphic imagery they otherwise would not be able to enjoy. Instead of using Braille, which the majority of visually impaired people do not read, users hear audio descriptions of each component of an image. Key considerations of the design were ease-of-use, ruggedness, cost and providing a pleasing aesthetic experience, namely how the product feels."

    IE7 won't be winning any 'best designed' awards. The UI still looks and works like a Fisher-Price toy, though at least the standard menu bar has returned. The customization of the UI is still a joke, though. C'mon, MS, you're almost there!

    I do like the 'Quick Tabs' feature, though - pretty slick.
