2008-08-06
hi this is stephen skarlatos pocketnow.com and today we're going to use Adams usability test with the red fly and my trusty verizon samsung i760 I i also created a cheat sheet with the six usability items from adams test so the first one is to switch between email contacts and calendar applications obviously in this pc like environment this is very simple just use alt tab will go to the calendar application the contact application and email all very simple back to the today's screen second test is to open a third party application here we hit the start menu p for programs and select the program we want we'll use life search and that brings up the live search application this truly makes the windows mobile experience very easy to use now we'll open a website this is extremely simple just hit the internet explorer key and you can see it's almost instantaneous and here you have a website we're using verizon's e video network will close that out and now we'll go to the music application will go back to today's screen and hit the Start programs windows media go to my music pick a song and hit play also all very fast and the music is obviously playing through the speakers on the i760 stop that and go to the next test the fifth test is to add a new contact so the contact application is already up we can actually alt tab to it go to new type in the name John Doe tab to the phone number it's 800 555 one two one two add to the email address test at example.com and then all we have to do is click OK and the contact has been added now we're going to do the email and just alt tab to the messaging application go to menu type the letter n type John Doe automatically selects it tab to the subject line the subject line is test tab to the body type in the quick brown fox jumped over talk and we can click send obviously this'll error because it's not a valid message but that's how simple it is to use the red fly
