I’ve come across this a lot of time myself and it made me realise that there is a need to ‘think’ on this issue. To get to the point, just look at the image below and see what has been typed in the text-box.
I’m guessing, your answer probably might be ”yes.. il” or “yes.. ll” or ”yes..tl” or ”yes..H” and it keeps on going!
What I’m trying to point out is that, the text pointer there shades the text typed which created an usability issue. Usually, since the text-box may not be active at the time the user wants to type something, the user brings the pointer right where he wants to type and then click inside the text-box area. This usually leaves the ‘text pointer’ few chars away from the starting point and as the user types on, the characters itself got covered up as can be seen on the image above.

Although it’s been around an year since the concept phone emerges out of the human head, it seems it will take a bit of time to find it on our hands!! Self cleaning, energy harvesting, flexibility, wearability etc. are some of the attractions we have with Morph.
As yet, some of you might have been aware of the Nokia Concept phone but if you’ve not, I’m glad to share it here. The concept has been developed in collaboration with Nokia Research Center and Cambridge Nanoscience Center.
Morph is a concept demonstrating some of the possibilities nanotechnologies might enable in future communication devices. Morph can sense its environment, is energy harvesting and self cleaning!!
With the launch of the new Orkut, there’s been a lot of expectation from the orkut lovers considering the ongoing competition between the two gaint social networking sites, Orkut and Facebook. Being among one of the few users who got the priviledge to use the new orkut in it’s early phase, I’ve come across numerous flows, or simply un-expected structural non user friendly systems and here, as a viewpoint from a User Experience Designer, I’m giving certain things that needs to be revamp at the earliest.
1) Commenting System
The very first thing that I’m going to talk about is the Fb style commenting system which is just introduced newly with the New version of orkut.
Well, the previous post let you know the main structure of the media player. If you’ve not gone through it, check the post at Sibi Media Player: an innovative media player 1 before continuing this post.
Now, let’s get closer to the Player Control Area.
Control Area
Like I told you earlier, the image above speaks.
Playlist
The player will look as below.
The Player
So, that’s it for the present. The UX designs for the player is still under development. If you’ve your say, don’t forget to leave me a comment.
