商品描述

Handheld devices cannot be designed simply as copies of their desktop counterparts; they have smaller displays, trickier input mechanisms, less memory, reduced storage capacity, and less powerful operating systems. Understanding the specific challenges of technology on the move is the first step towards designing great products for handheld devices.

Handheld Usability is a practical, hands-on guide to designing interfaces for handheld, electronic computing and communication devices, including e-mail pagers, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) and mobile telephone handsets.

This book will give you the skills you need to:

  • Understand the types of handheld devices and their differences

  • Design user interfaces for handheld devices

  • Design user interfaces for the wireless Web (WAP)

  • Prototype user interfaces for handheld devices ?

  • Conduct usability tests on prototypes and live, handheld product applications
      Don't reinvent the wheel!

      The lack of standardization in interface design doesn't mean that you have to start from scratch every time. This 'plain English' guide will help you to plan your own usability tests as part of the design and development process, and let you learn from insights on design gained from real life experience.

      With so many handheld devices to choose from, usability can be a very powerful distinguishing factor. Well designed products mean happy users, and satisfied customers become loyal customers. With the help of Handheld Usability you can give the customer what they want, and get it right first time.

      商品描述(中文翻譯)

      手持設備不能僅僅設計成桌面設備的複製品;它們擁有較小的顯示屏、更為棘手的輸入機制、較少的記憶體、較少的存儲容量和較弱的操作系統。了解移動技術的具體挑戰是設計手持設備優秀產品的第一步。
      《手持設備可用性》是一本實用的、實戰指南,用於設計手持式電子計算和通訊設備的界面,包括電子郵件傳呼機、個人數字助理(PDA)和手機。
      本書將提供您以下技能:
      - 了解不同類型的手持設備及其差異
      - 為手持設備設計用戶界面
      - 為無線網絡(WAP)設計用戶界面
      - 為手持設備原型設計用戶界面
      - 對原型和實際手持產品應用進行可用性測試
      不要重複造輪子!界面設計的缺乏標準化並不意味著您每次都必須從頭開始。這本「白話文」指南將幫助您在設計和開發過程中計劃自己的可用性測試,並從實際經驗中獲得設計方面的見解。
      在眾多手持設備中,可用性可以成為一個非常有力的區別因素。設計良好的產品意味著滿意的用戶,滿意的客戶會成為忠實的客戶。借助《手持設備可用性》,您可以給客戶提供他們想要的,並一次做對。
