  1. Designing Internet Appliances at Netpliance Scott Isensee Reviewed by: Ken Kalinoski Liz Atwater Karl Vochatzer

  2. Overview • Why they were in development • Netpliance product design & development • Their conclusions about I-Opener • What’s missing?

  3. Why? • Market situation: future is mobile appliances • TUE: best approach is to start over • Tailored UI: capabilities differ w/ application

  4. Flexibility • Rapid, iterative development • Content “Munging”: suited to personal tastes • Personalization: content inclusion, exclusion, or sorting • Transcoding: content adjusts to device

  5. Design Process • User requirements: develop for a new audience • Research: PCs are too difficult to use • Focus groups: what do users want and what they thought of prototypes

  6. Design Process cont’d • Design • 80/20 • Multidisciplinary teams • Design from outside in: design UI and then make the technology fit it • Communicating the design • Implementation • Schedule and testing: you learn a lot when you put product in hands of users

  7. Hardware & Software • Important HW characteristics • UI: abandon the PC • KISS: quality product that handles limited functionality • Personalization: is this bad practice to go against consistency principle? • Tech advancements vs. UI: better tech does not sub for the right UI

  8. Their Conclusions • Easy to use device • I-Opener is technology for non-PC users • No PC legacy and they are free to design from scratch

  9. What’s missing? • More detail – less buzzwords • What problems were encountered during design and how did the solutions arise? • Where exactly did testing fit in? • Did they abandon the PC or did they inherit its legacy?
