Usability team?

[london cowgirl]

Hi Justin & Thomas

I think the investment made into the UI is extremely important and valuable (well done, Thomas).

Shall we put together a usability team so these user centered design efforts continue?

I'm a usability expert and would love to get engaged on a mobile device project.

We could do personas, interviews, usability tests, etc...

Any takers?

Hi Justin,

The current (2007.2) GUI was designed at OpenedHand by myself and a few
others. I wrote about some of the design decisions here:

If you have any specific questions though, please let me know.

Regards,

Thomas
