I have to admit that I am not a fan of Windows Mobile and I really dislike the honeycomb interface. Today however Long Zheng has an excellent post explaining why it is actually a very efficient interface and an intelligent design. Microsoft does spend a lot of money on research to try and find the best way to do things but somehow they just can’t appease the critics.
The round-ish design of the Honeycomb menu does make sense as it allows them to display 10 menu items instead of 9 even if 2 of them are only partially shown. Peoples fingers are round (last I checked) and it is likely that it makes it easier for the user to select a button. It still doesn’t help when the overall device is sluggish and the devices are not easy to use.
