Bloomberg Goes iPad
- IgorPartola 17y agoWhere did I see that article about the stages of Apple product launches? It went: * It's announced * Blogs hate it * Blogs love it * It's released * Everybody buys one I believe we are right on schedule.

- emanuer 17y agoAccording to http://uxmag.com/design/the-impossible-bloomberg-makeover http://uxmag.com/design/the-impossible-bloomberg-makeover the terrible Bloomberg interface is a way to "sustain a fictive status symbol". I am happy to hear that sustaining a status symbol just got a lot more stylish.
- elblanco 17y agoI never get this part "The pain inflicted by blatant UI flaws such as black background color" Why is black background color bad? I love using sites and tools with a black background color. I have far less eyestrain than with a white background.
- zmmmmm 17y agoI find it sad that there is pretty much nothing about this interface that could not be rendered in a standard browser interface. Yet they are investing loads of money, hype and effort and everyone will have orgasms about it just because it's an "app". And in the end we've just reverted what would have previously be done in an open, standard way into a proprietary, closed, single vendor (and, I'm guessing, expensive) format.
- IgorPartola 17y agoMoreover why does every content site need an app? What's the point?
- omouse 17y agoBecause they're too afraid to syndicate their content and deal with a mess of licensing deals.
- IgorPartola 17y agoBut why not just slap a mobile stylesheet on the existing site?
- thstart 17y agoThe point is the touch screen interface. Do design user interface for touch screen is a value added to traditional mouse or keyboard interface. I don't know how Bloomberg implemented touch but this is the reason for a specialized App.
