User Interface Consistency
While snapping over 150 screen shots of the Pocket PC 2002, I noticed that
the user interface is still not consistent.
Examples
Scroll bar is not required but displayed
How can you rest your palm on the screen?
Ok Button in dialog box instead of
titlebar
Add Button instead of Add Item in list
New button instead of new item in list
Inbox introduces a new metaphor for Help
Conclusion
If Microsoft wants developers and users to adjust to the User Interface, then it should be consistent. It's disappointing to see multiple applications with these inconsistencies.
