Newsletter 3-1-2010

Dear friend,

Did you have fun celebrating the start of the new year? I partied on a boat with very enjoyable company. People were texting their best wishes, knowing full well that their texts wouldn’t arrive in time. I simply whipped out the smart phone and e-mailed. Then, back home, I couldn’t sleep so I grabbed the EeePC and watched a movie. See a trend? Yes, I’m a geek, but that’s not it.

Small screens. They are not dieing out, they are back with a vengeance. And now they aren’t a sign of low spending power, but a status symbol for yuppies. (And geeks.)

So, this week I’m not doing anything about usability or small screens at all. But I wanted to mention it.

Have a great week!
