As we enter a new age of mobile devices with the iPhone and Google’s Android, interaction designers and developers have been and will continue to experiment with new ways to for people to interact with their devices. I have been amazed at the speed and breadth the iPhone has had an impact. From music artists to medical research to the Obama campaign. I think is shows that these are devices we have all been waiting for. But I am most excited about the future of this medium and over the next few years the public will learn to sort and prioritize this content much the same way it has with the internet.

Above is an example of true innovation. The iPhone development company, Smule, has transformed the iPhone in a wind instrument. Check out these videos demonstrating the app, here and here.

Whether you’ve gotten a chance to get your hands on CS3 or not, Adobe is about to take another crack at it’s flagship software package. Normally I’d say this is far too early to be releasing such a costly product, but like most CS3 users I’m fed up with the half-ass job that went into putting the current version together. From simple mistakes like not having the same keyboard shortcuts across all CS apps, to the poor typography of Flash, this now puts a lot of pressure on Adobe to get it right.

I’m hoping Adobe is paying attention to it’s hard core users. And while this might be taking it a little too far, I completely understand the excitement and pain that goes with an Adobe upgrade.
