Gadgets on the Go
Description
I struck a nerve earlier this week with a comment I made about the iPod user interface being tired. The problem I have is that while the hardware has evolved, the iPod's UI hasn't changed much in five years.
One of the reasons that the iPod is so successful, it can be argued, is because the interface is drop dead simple. So simple in fact that young children and seniors alike can pick it up with ease. This is a point that I'm willing to concede, but if the iPod is going to continue its ascension to the heights of consumer electronics legend, new features need to be added.
For starters, the interface itself is mostly black and white, with the exception of the My Rating stars, the battery icon, progress bar and the album artwork. It would be great to have a couple of Apple designed skins to choose from with different themes. It would be even better if Apple provided an SDK so that people could design their own themes.
