TIPb on iPhone usability
“My 2 year old godson can use iPhone well. He can turn it on. He can find and launch his apps. He can play his games and read along with Dr. Seuss and Disney. About all my 2 year old can do with my Android 2.1 Nexus One is throw it.
That doesn’t indicate the iPhone is a “toy” for children, it indicates the level of usability Apple has achieved, and is something Android enthusiasts should be angry that Google doesn’t seem intent on matching, just as iOS users are upset when they see that cool new feature Apple seemingly has no interest in.”
Actually Google is not able to match this usability, mainly and apparently because of its fragmentation.
In fact, the hard core of the issue lies in each company’s strategic development: Google is doing numbers, Apple is doing paintings.
