Web Design Navigation Bar: The cell phone itself is a little technological miracle in the
palm of your hand, complete with high-resolution color display,
an array of buttons, a pointing device, electronic circuitry and
storage, main and backup batteries, transmitter and receiver.The
design of the interactions is based on a confusing hierarchy of
overlapping systems. Each call is supported by the infrastructure
of the network of cells, as well as the overall telephone system of
lines, exchanges, optical networks, microwaves, and satellites.
Ideally all of this should be transparent to the user who just
wants to make a call, but in practice it often becomes annoyingly
visible.Web Design Navigation Bar: The service provider is designing an offering in a
competitive environment, leading to an escalating range offeatures that soon become impossibly complex. The service
provider is separate from the handset vendor, as the handsets take
longer to develop than the services and are more intimately linked
to the electronic behaviors of the input and output devices and
the chips that drive them. Once you connect to Web-based
services, each individual site or service that is accessible through
the phone has interactions that are designed by separate teams of
people.They try to provide a version of their offering to fit the
scale of the interactions that work well on the phone, but they
often do this with very little knowledge of the details of the
interactive capabilities of the cell phone.With all this complexity
in play, it is not surprising that the modern cell phone is difficult
to use.
