Apple’s iPhone’s multi-touch user interface (UI) is so easy-to-use that even a one year old can effectively use the device:

Apple ought to buy thes and use them raw in its advertising.
Yeah, those are cool videos. I wish I had video of my four year old son using MacPaint on the original Macintosh way back when. We were amazed that after only a few minutes, he could draw shapes, fill them with patterns, etc. At the time, that was almost unbelievable. Computers were just too complicated and hard to use for many people, let alone a four year old.
Goes to show how well Apple’s engineers can design and how much smarter kids are than people think.
Obviously my little fingers and newborn hand eye coordination makes me more suitable to use the iPhone than you fat fingered clumsy adults.
Of course I’ll need glasses at age 5 from staring at the small screen and type.
Another interpretation : Apple’s iPhone is so dumbed down even a one year old can use it.
See? It all depends on your perspective.
Try that on a zune. Balmer would use a chair instead if a finger.
Cute picture. The bald head, chubby cheeks, a little drool with a crooked grin. Ballmer?
That’s really cool. He just expects it to work like it should work, and it does. If it was a Windows Mobile device, he would have to understand the concept of menus and be able to read.
Jake, ease of use is the ultimate aim of interface design. If you can use something intuitively, without even thinking, you have no barrier to getting stuff done. Apple seems to “get it” better than anyone.
That baby is a frickin’ evil genius. That likes cheese.
