What’s Apple’s problem with buttons?
With both the new buttonless trackpads and the new iPod Shuffle, it seems that Apple’s going on an all-out war to eliminate as many buttons as possible from their products.
I totally agree about the new Shuffle: restricting to only one kind (brand) of earbuds is a bad thing, something I still despise from the 1st generation iPhone era. While some Apple innovations are great, this lockdown won’t go far away. But I have to defend the new trackpads: I own an unibody MBP and I simply love its buttonless trackpad. The UX was far different from the first feedbacks I got while I tried it on an exposition model in a store: regularly using it (after just one day) led me to appreciate its design and its usefulness.
