Understand Newton 1-1
CHAPTER 1
Newton and Its Users 1
Before you can begin to design an application, it is crucial that you have a
clear picture of what a Newton device can do and how people will use your
Newton software. This chapter introduces some high-level concepts that
will help you clarify that picture. In addition, this chapter presents some
basic principles of user interface design that apply to all types of software.
The chapter concludes by detailing how to conduct user tests of your
product during its development.
Understand Newton 1
Newton is a software and hardware technology designed for a family of
products in the category of personal digital assistants (PDAs), such as the
Apple MessagePad. The goal of Newton technology is to help people and
businesses become more productive by simplifying basic tasks and making it
easier for people to manage bits and pieces of information while on the
move. Information entered on a Newton device can be moved to a desktop
machine or a mainframe computer, where it can be manipulated in powerful
applications.
