Since the arrival of the iPad on the scene, tablets have been a common topic for discussion. The conversation goes far beyond the tablet from Apple as competitors are busy trying to get a competing product to share the wealth
Touching Isn't It? Consumer Response to Touch and Gesture Technology for IHS...John Feland
Ever since the iPhone was launched in 2007, consumers have increasingly become accustomed to touchscreen technology. Microsoft's touch centric Windows 8 release across tablets, laptops, phones and kitchen countertop computers was met with a mix of delight and dismay. Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft have rolled out gestures as the main way to play an increasing number of games on their platforms. Samsung's Galaxy S series phones allow hand waving gestures to silence calls, pause movies and more, but frustrate users with the lower battery life.
So how are we doing as an interface industry? As touch and gestures rollout to more and more devices and the enabling technology of controller chips and sensors improves, we should see any consumer discussion of touch fade from view as the use of the touchscreen becomes as natural as breathing. The reality is, as cost pressures increase, performance is dropping, and what should be a seamless user experience is becoming pitted with potholes of poor performance, manufacturing quality issues, and nonintuitive integration.

Covering market segments ranging from Wearables, Tablets, Laptops, Smartphones and more, Dr. Feland details what is working and what isn't with touch technologies.

Designing for diversity - how to stop worrying and embrace the Android revol...yiibu
It took 16 years for smartphone penetration to reach 1 billion people. Analysts believe it will take only 3 years to reach the next billion. The devices these consumers buy will be incredibly diverse, yet many will run on Android; a platform that now sees more than 1.5 million activations per day.
In this presentation, we explore the fascinating rise of Android around the globe. From dual SIM phones in Indonesia, to dual screen e-ink devices in Russia and crowd-sourced platform modifications in China, we will discover the role open source has played in Android's popularity and how to design for such a diverse environment.
StatsCounter tell us that in May '23 the market share for the smartphones is split in this way: Android/Google 67.56%, iOS/Apple 31.6%. Which means the remaining is less that 1%. Today we are speaking about that 1%: available alternatives, future outlook and most important why we have to care of about that 1%. Spoiler: because a study of the University of Edinburgh and the Trinity College Dublin published in Q4/2021 proves what all we know - our smartphones leak our data constantly.
An overview of concepts and items at the International Consumer Electronics Show 2011 in Las Vegas. Prepared by a user experience design professional with a focus on products with software user interfaces.
