Why do I blog this? While I’m not 100% sold on the gesture notion — it seems like a tricky interface to get to work right — I do like the idea or figuring out how the orientation of a mobile device might be part of the interface design syntax. The compass integration seems promising — at least based on my experience navigating strange cities, it would be nice. As a general thing, who knows? Maybe it’s just more gadgets. Jan Chipchase seems to think the most effective way of orienteering when you’re lost and there are other people around is to simply ask for directions.
