Imagine i need to to compose a SMS to a contact, (i am a right hander) I would need to move my thumb from the right side of the screen across to the left side of the screen to activate the ‘SMS’ app and move my thumb back to the right side of the screen to activate ‘Compose new SMS’ button. Is that well designed? Is that ergonomic?Answer: That is a lot of effort.
