Question about usability and pocketPC

Greetings all


I´m taking a course in usability engineering at the University i Linköping,
Sweden and is currently investigating the possibility of writing a thesis
about the usability issues that might arise with the PocketPC interface,
input and alike.
I´ve looked through Microsoft´s PocketPC pages but haven´t come across
anything usefull regarding this particular subject.
I wonder if there are any white papers or likewise on for example the
thoughts behind the four different text input methods available?

Fredrik,

If you go to www.google.com and search on PocketPC usability design, you will
find a number of articles including this study done by the National Cancer
Institute: http://usability.gov/lessons/handhelds.html

Microsoft has a logo certification program for developers who wish their apps to
earn the Designed for Windows Mobile logo. Here is the handbook that describes
the requirements, which include some user interface requirements:
