"First a confession. I dont have a cellphone and I have no plans to get one. Does this make me completely unqualified to comment on a book about mobile phones? I dont think so."
Well, actually Rick, I think it does.
Poynor's one of our finest writers about design, and as founder of 'Eye', instrumental in one of design's finest publications. And yet here seems hampered by his lack of experience. It's not that experience is all. I don't have to play the saxophone to recognise good and bad saxophone playing. On the whole. However, the accessibility of mobile phones (cellphones to our cousins across the pond) and their relative ease of use is somewhat different to spending 15 years learning the sax.
