Scott Weiss, author of "Handheld
Usability" (Wiley: 2002), will present a brief look
into the handheld product market. He will start with an
overview of just what distinguishes a handheld, then will describe
the market for these devices. He will give details of the hardware,
operating systems, and design strategies for phones, PDAs, and
pagers. Before taking questions from the audience, he will cover
paper prototyping and usability testing for handhelds.
