This is what the world would look like without designers. I’m sure the Stevens Creek Software folks are capable of creating decent software in terms of code, but the UI is clearly an afterthought. You’re going to walk away from this gold rush very disappointed if you don’t have someone on your project with an eye for design and detail.
Via John Gruber:
Check out the UI on this upcoming iPhone app from Palm OS developer Stevens Creek Software. This is not a joke.
Damn. If that’s my competition, my app will do just fine.
Wow, that was probably a little bit unnecessary, Jesus. I’m sure Murdoch is thankful, though.

Umm, yeah, seems a bit ridiculous to have those dots in a design. Even though it’s kind of hacky, have you thought about using the alphaImageLoader?
these dots. i thought they were a mistake when i was coding up the site from this PSD… yanno like ‘oh what the heck are these doing here?’
turns out that they were intentional. and the guy who mocked it up was pretty distressed that they weren’t there. why are they there? no one will ever know.
but they are making my life PNG hell right now in IE6.
re: clrcrtq “try .gif instead for if lt IE 7”
good suggestion, but cannot do. it needs the 40% opacity. this guy is a word that means more anal than anal.
