Edward Tufte on the iPhone Interface

Edward Tufte is someone I have admired for quite some time. Ever since encountering a poster (originally created by Charles Joseph Minard) depicting Napoleon's march to Moscow which was amazingly deconstructed by Mr. Tufte I have been a "fan".

He most recently deconstructed some of the interface features of the iPhone. He has created a video which "shows some of the resolution-enhancing methods of the iPhone, along with a few places for improvements in resolution."

If you deal with testing user interfaces or usability testing you should check out some of this books or read though the articles on his web site. Truly amazing.
