Edward Tufte Weighs In on Apple's iPhone

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the word-from-on-high dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Via Daring Fireball, a post from design guru Edward Tufte's site discusses his views on the interface used by the Apple iPhone. The post includes a video presentation by Tufte on the subject of video resolution on the phone. His argument is primarily that while the iPhone does a lot of things very well, Apple hasn't quite realized the platform's full potential by making screen real estate all it could be. "

    WTF?
    Will it "fit up my butt"?
    Will it "smell clean after it is extracted"?

    Yeah, it doesn't do the things I need very well.

    Only thing the iPhone is good for is making iCalls using AT&T's iService and giving them and Apple all your iCash when you sign up for that 2 year iContract.
