This is Why People Hate Technology

This is going to be a post of a few words.

Love Google’s mobile browser app UI’s. They really incred­i­ble with respect to what they do in a browser. Let me make one suggestion.

You see, when I’m read­ing an email I always have to go back to the mes­sage list to move between mes­sages because I can’t fig­ure out which but­ton is next mes­sage, and which is previous.

What, am I stu­pid? Hardly.

To refresh your mem­ory, here’s the mes­sage list:

You’ll notice (mainly because I put the red line in there) that mes­sages are listed in an “up and down” list.

Well, then why are the but­tons used to move between mes­sages in the indi­vid­ual mes­sage left and right arrows?

Why not just do the fol­low­ing? Is it really that freak­ing hard?

As it turns out… Google’s mobile RSS reader does us real up-and-down arrows… but they have them switched from Email’s “up-and-down” arrows. In Reader, left is up and right is down. Am I ask­ing too much?
