[IxDA Discuss] What Women Want (was: iPhone usability tests)

[Tracy Boyington]

I don't text or e-mail with gloves on, and I probably wouldn't even
attempt to enter a phone number on the keypad. But I do have a big
"joystick" button that I can easily manipulate even with gloves on, so I
can get to the main menu and scroll through my address book, and make a
call by pushing that one big button. If I understand correctly, I cannot
interact with the iPhone at all while wearing gloves (except to pinch
the ear bud cord to accept an incoming call). But I'd love someone who
has actually used an iPhone while gloved to confirm that.

I think there is the glove issue no matter what. I had the old
blackberry
8700, and now the blackberry pearl, and i email and sms alot - at least
20+
per day.

Gloves make the keyboard buttons - even with tactile feedback - almost
impossible in Boston cold weather - and I end up not texting and
emailing
while outside - it's just too difficult - so i expect the same from
the
iPhone - only more so.
