[IxDA Discuss] Thoughts on Alan Cooper's Keynote

[David Armano]

There were a couple of things about Alan's talk that didn't sit well
with me.  I understood the argument of "Best to market" but I wonder
if stressing that limits the spirit of invention.  Can we still
invent?

Also, while I respect and believe in rigorous methods%u2014I've seen
the "fuzzy" front end be a very effective way to drive effective
solutions.  The rigor can still be injected in the process.  I may
have misunderstood the spirit of the talk%u2014but I do believe that
sometimes we can confuse rigor for rigid (as I mentioned in my talk).

And where does the community come into the picture.  Apple's
community wants a more "open" iPhone environment.  We want more
choice and personalization of our experience with the iPhone.  Where
does this fit into what Alan was saying?
