Ask E.T.: Interface design and the iPhone

   "deep hierarchies of stacked-up thin information--too often
    leaving users with "Where am I?" puzzles. Better to have users
    looking over material adjacent in space rather than stacked in
    time"

   "eliminating screen-hogging computer administrative debris, and
    distributing information adjacent in space"

   "View video"

   "The design ideas here include high-resolution touch-screens;
    minimizing computer admin debris; spatial distribution of
    information rather than temporal stacking; complete integration
    of text, images, and live video; a flat non-hierarchical
    interface; and replacing spacious icons with tight words. The
    metaphor for the interface is the information. Thus the iPhone
    got it mostly right"
