Porsche Design Unveils P’9521

Porsche Design Unveils P’9521

Stephane Bret, director of Porsche Design Mobile Group, holds a Porsche Design Mobile Phone P’9521 in Essen June 4, 2007. The Porsche Design Group and Sagem Communication are presenting the first Porsche Design Mobile Phone, the P’9521, at the Red Dot Design Museum in Essen.

Porsche Design’s P’9521 cellphone features the ability to rotate the screen 180°, turning this mobile phone into a digital camera in a snap. For better security, the phone also comes equipped with a fingerprint reader, so you no longer need to remember any more PIN numbers. The handset will be released this fall in Porsche Design Stores and specialist cellphone retailers. Sadly, it won’t be available in the U.S., Korea, and Japan for some reason.

Not sure for Adobe Flash lite as no such technical details i found but User Interface looks something similar to LG Parda.

Google Lays Out Its Mobile User Experience Strategy

google_mobile user experience

The event, “Google Presents User Experience & Mobile Apps,” was co-hosted by the New York City chapter of the Usability Professionals Association.

Google user experience designer Leland Rechis talk about Google’s mission: Organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Rechis added that mobility is fast-becoming the key to making information “universally accessible,” but he warned that without a solid user experience, there is no way mobile applications can be useful.

Rechis said that when Google plans to launch a mobile application, it looks at the potential app through six layers:

  1. Understanding users, anywhere, anytime
  2. Fits in your pocket
  3. More personal than the PC
  4. Consistency across modes
  5. Localization is intensified
  6. Integrated devices, modes, products

Very intresting 🙂 and important to know before developing applications for mobile devices.
