“We’ve only just scratched the surface of touchscreen interface design. Done right, touch allows us to create the illusion of working directly with content, instead of through the abstract metaphors of menus, buttons, tabs, and assorted “administrative debris” that we’ve adopted over the last 30 years of desktop interfaces.” Amen.
