On: Jakob Nielsen on iPad Usability: First Findings

[jwr]

I don't like the proportion of critique vs suggestions. Nielsen critiques a lot, but his suggestions are limited to a few broad strokes. I expected better from a usability guru.

I frankly think it's how it should be. He's really good in testing and analysis. Focusing in the solution is almost like an entirely different matter.

Maybe he's not really a usability guru, but rather a lack-of-usability guru.

You don't have to play a violin well, or even at all to hear someone just messed up.

Maybe he can't give detailed suggestions, but is just able to indicate something is amiss.

That by itself is a valuable service.
