Windows Mobile Has Scenarios Too!

I admire the effort to show a simple software scenario in a commercial (as I’m told the iPhone commercials do) and this Windows Mobile 6 ad site is decently well done… maybe it even came before the iPhone commercials, I have no idea.

I read today that user experience design is getting trendy. Yep.

Now, that’s scenario UI, not the actual UI + hardware. Some of it, like the lack of pointless Live Search “banner” within the Live Search program, which already establishes its brand on the wasteful splash screen, Microsoft teams should be held accountable for. Why can’t it be as good as the commercials? I’ll spend a few minutes here to try to provide that feedback.
