so what can the iPhone teach desktop computers

For a start, how boring is it to scroll back up to the top of the page. I have this incredible desire to double tap the top of the page to get back to the top (you know the navigation and links etc).

There are many things that people learned from HCI, user interfaces and GUI, all from the traditional laptop/desktop OS method of doing things. But this is now changing and the GUI and HCI that is created by mobility of technology and ideas, has created a whole new way to interact with our technology and information.

More to come, and I’d love to hear your thoughts about what the iPhone is now teaching us about technology and information.

So number 1 for me is;

  • Double tapping top of screen to get back to top of long web page (or desktop window for that matter, and forget keyboard strokes, I want mouse interaction baby).
