Hi John,
Regarding the iPhone GUI PSD file, it’s always interesting to see how different people organise PSD layers.
Also, does this PSD effectively replace Device Central CS3?!
[Nope, they’re complementary. As far as I know there’s no iPhone definition in Device Central, as the latter is geared towards devices that embed Flash Lite. Also note that Device Central does much more than offer templates. It can do some really interesting things around simulating bandwidth, processor speeds, and even ambient lighting and reflections. –J.]
Most useful it is!
Remembering his PowerPoint rant, I was expecting Tufte to sound a bit like Grandpa Simpson, but he points out potential in the iPhone’s high-resolution interface that Apple has yet to exploit.
A stock market app like the one he describes would probably sell like hot cakes. The weather APP I’d buy in a New York minute.
[I still haven’t gotten to watch the video as the server seemed overloaded when I tried. I saw Tufte speak at the NY public library years ago and found that he–well, he didn’t lack self-confidence. 🙂 –J.]
