UI Weekly

Interested in a camcorder with a 2x zoom, 60 minute video capacity and a 2 hour battery?  Did I mention the video’s max resolution is 640×480?  Sounds like something straight out of 1984.  Yet, for the thousands who have purchased the Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder and helped make it the hottest video camcorder on the market, the answer is yes! Unlike other camcorders that promise you a camcorder capable of filming the next Oscar winning movie, this camcorder does one thing…  it captures web quality video, and it does it better than any other camera.  Sure other camcorders will give you a better picture, but this camera’s killer user interface makes it easy enough for any person to use.

Looking like something Apple would design, this camcorder has three primary buttons.  Play, Record, and Delete, that’s it.  What else do you need?

With its built in usb connector, this camcorder is ready for plug and play.  The only thing missing are the messy wires.

Here’s a shot of the front side if your interested.

As promised, the team at Clearleft launched Silverback today.  In minutes, I was able to turn my macbook pro into a legitimate usability testing environment.  Forget the need for multiple cameras and expensive software or paying a professional to do it.  All I needed to do was download the application (free 30 day trial), write up a list of requirements I wanted my subject to perform, and bam I found 5 things to improve on the site.

Thanks to Kimmy for being a good sport.

The wait is over.  Clearleft has just announced, via Twitter, their highly anticipated usability testing software Silverback will launch tomorrow.

Better websites to follow.

Voltage has a face? That’s one scary dude.

Thanks to my buddy Mic for sending these from Poland during Euro 2008.

Below are a couple design changes I noticed while at the new Target store in the District mall in Tustin, California.

First thing I noticed was the redesign of the IN symbol located above and on the automatic doors at the store’s entrance.  Excellent choice of color and shape, similar to a traffic light.  The IN symbol is welcoming and easy to spot.
