[IxDA Discuss] Motorola Motofone User Experience

[Joshua Seiden]

By what medium beyond the GUI is this phone responsive to user behavior?
Sound design is important, but in the case it's not richly interactive.
Tactile feedback is important, but again in this case it's not richly
interactive.

So--in this case--the richly interactive portion of this experience lies in
the software response to hardware. And--again in this case--the software
responds by means of a GUI. So, are they not thinking about it, or just not
talking about it?
