Substantial research effort has been devoted to the design of mobile tourist guides. Although a lot of these guides already provide some naturalness and intelligence in the interaction with users, their user interfaces are mostly object-based. In this article we will argue that, due to the users' limited attention capacity and the great variety of tasks they have to perform on their trips, more emphasis should be put on the integration of tasks within the users' context of activity. Based on the preliminary results of a qualitative user & task analysis, we suggest concrete guidelines and a task hierarchy for a mobile tourist guide UI.
