Abstract

Most of today's common PDA applications do not leverage the prospects of the PDA. We want to explore PDAs and other mobile devices as new media, focusing on their unique qualities, not as limited PCs. Moreover, we focus on support for everyday life. We present a user test of an application for catching the tram based on this approach, as well as guidance from the ever relevant principle "Keep it simple, stupid!"
