Edward Tufte Weighs In on Apple's iPhone

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. "

Re:the weather icon on iPhone sucks

[bar-agent]

They manage to change to current date on the "calendar" icon .. so why not dynamic icons for weather?

That would be cool. But while the iPhone knows the current date, it has to look up the current weather. I'd rather not have it hit the network every time I push the home button.
