Apple Conducts User Tests with 3 Year Olds
Or it seems that way.
I received an iTouch a couple of weeks ago. I was still figuring stuff out when my 3 year old picks it up and starts navigating the screens like a pro, finds pictures of herself and starts paging through them. I was awestruck.
It turns out that she had played with my brother's iPhone a couple of times before, but still. Apple has designed the user interface for the iPhone/iTouch that is completely intuitive. So intuitive that my kid is a pro at navigating the screens and finding movies, songs, pictures and games.
I have always been impressed with the thought Apple puts into usability. But this really takes the cake.
