| Cell Phone Problems |
| • |
I don’t like it when other
people borrow it and the screen gets all greasy |
| • |
My phone is really ugly and boxy |
| • |
Some features seem useless, or the location
of the button to access the feature is bad. |
| • |
The physical design is bad |
| • |
They all look too similar |
| • |
One guy liked the click that the Samsung phone
makes when it opens. It’s like physical feedback and
he enjoys it |
• |
The new Samsung phone is very very thin, and
it makes him wonder if it might break, even though it looks
cool and trendy |
| • |
Talked about LG’s first wearable phone.
The wearable function itself is not too good, and they said
that when a phone has something so different, it should be
usable to be good. |
| When Do You Use Your Digital
Camera |
| • |
To take pictures of themselves,
their friends, house |
| • |
Take pictures when I’m out with friends,
on road trips, the beach |
| • |
On holidays, field trips |
| • |
Don’t carry it around as it doesn’t
fit in my pocket |
| • |
Don’t have one, use a camera with film |

Sharing Across Distances
| Notes |
| • |
Not necessary to take the photo
to communicate the message. Could just tell the person. |
| • |
Could just send the photo and not add any text
to it. Leaves room for interpretation. |
| • |
Wouldn’t like to be on the receiving
end of such a photo. Would prefer to just be told |
| • |
Narrated similar incidents such as the story
of sister with the hickey!! |
| • |
Some people felt that they would like to be
able to share across distances if the picture quality is good.
They never remember to take along their camera, so it would
be a good feature. |
| • |
Some people felt that the scenario was a little
extreme, and this camera phone might be more useful in a shopping
situation where only one person could be present |
| • |
For sharing photos from your phone you need
a special cable to connect to the computer, and this is no
point as it’s expensive. Emailing it is so much easier
and cheaper. |

Sharing in Groups
| Notes |
| • |
Don’t ever need to share
instantly |
| • |
Would be convenient, because that way the person
would at least definitely get the picture. Many times people
say they will share a photo once they go home but forget. |
| • |
Most of them liked the physical connection
of sharing the photos |
| • |
One guy didn’t like it. |

Wristwatch
| Notes |
| • |
It’s hard to take a photo
from a watch |
| • |
They liked the wristwatch idea, thought technology
would be hard (we don’t have to worry about that!!) |
| • |
Lose watches, so don’t want to lose phone |
• |
Would be worried to have a phone as a watch
or vice versa, as they’re all more concerned about one
of the two |
• |
Don’t want a beat up watch/phone |
• |
Most people liked it, because it means that
there are less things for them to carry around, tight pants!! |
• |
Would like to have their phone with them while
paintballing etc…., so would like a more rugged look
Drop phone so much that it rates, so want it to be more rugged |
| • |
Interesting idea to combine them |

|
Shopping
| Notes |
| • |
Felt that the scenario was trivial |
| • |
More relevant for occasions when one is buying
bridesmaid dresses etc, not for everyday shopping |
| • |
Didn’t find the idea of taking photos
while shopping too practical, prefer to take somebody with
them |
• |
Good when you wanted to go shopping with somebody
but couldn’t! |
• |
Most of them couldn’t really relate to
the shopping thing, felt like they were too old for it |
• |
More faith in physically seeing the person
in the outfit, as poor quality photos can be deceiving |

Careful Flirting
| Notes |
| • |
One guy had gone through something
similar at prom |
| • |
Felt that the photo was a bit too much. |
| • |
It’s like literally investigating a person
by taking the photo. |
• |
Wouldn’t take the guy’s picture
so sneakily and then investigate. Would rather ask questions. |

Flirting
with Pictures
| Notes |
| • |
Whole group quiet!! |
| • |
Felt like it was taking away from social relationships.
Its like building an aim culture on the phone, and they didn’t
like that |
| • |
They prefer taking photos as a joke, not where
it defines social relationships! |
| • |
Like it when they’re doing stupid stuff,
taking funny pictures, sending it to friends who couldn’t
be there. |
• |
Like the more casual appeal of it |

Convincing
Your Parents
| Notes |
| • |
Felt that such an excuse could
work once, not multiple times |
| • |
Kind of trivial. A curfew is a curfew, parents
would not get fooled by it |
^top
|
Goofing Around
| Notes |
| • |
Very receptive to this one |
| • |
Felt that a video phone would be more applicable |
| • |
Don’t like it because it’ll be
on the phone and people go through your phone all the time
and might see the photo. |
