Fashionable or not, I'm now referring to User Experience and using the abbreviation UE.&nbsp; </p> <p> What does that mean to you? </p> <p> For me personally, as an end user, it means that I do not need to read a manual or help to use an application on my mobile. So &quot;intuitive to use&quot; comes to mind. Also &quot;for my device&quot; is an other phrase to use. It might be interesting to use an application intended for a touch screen device on a device without a touch screen. Or vice versa. </p> <p> I've herd the term WOW also related to user experience. &quot;WOW this looks cool!&quot; I seldom get that. Maybe its my basic engineering character to get more exited on features than the looks. Well, the <a href="http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/E71" target="_blank">Nokia E71</a> did get me all exited and provided me with a WOW to the power of 10... </p> <p> User Experience for me is also &quot;working as expected&quot;. I don't want the application or my device (the E71) to crash or freeze. I want to use the features which the application is supposed to have, no more no less. </p> <p> The last thing is naturally the usage security. No malicious features, my data is safe. That is partially related to the number of features. </p> <p> Are you with me? Do you as application developers see something differently? </p> Testing User Experience 2009-01-02T15:05:58Z Rippe
