As far as ergonomics I always liked the Mercedes door handles better than those of some other cars, where you can only open the door by gripping from underneath. Interface design and ergonomics go hand in hand.
I think the iPhone is a good example with its one button design and size, as opposed to clunkier cellphones with 3 or more buttons.

The "go back" operation is something we do often on smart phones. I want my phone to have that at the front. I also like trackballs there.
- jrajav 14y agoI often cite this as one example of how I find the Android interface more efficient and usable. "Go back" applies intuitively to such a broad range of apps, and benefits enough from a constant, ergonomic placement and tactile feedback, that that alone makes a difference in feel.
- pbreit 14y agoI hate, hate, hate that Android doesn't have a physical "home" button and instead those terrible soft system buttons. First, I pretty much never know which button to hit and what's going to happen. 2nd, they waste valuable space being unnecessarily "always on". And my kids are flat out unable to use my Nexus 7 without constantly accidentally hitting this buttons. Yuck, yuck, yuck.
