In designer there is a sense of usability: what Philippe Starck is doing is beautiful and above all usable. What is beautiful is not always usable or useful, but by definition a UI means interactions, so usability. For sure we will see barely usable UI ... but we have it today, check the latest Linux Phones, or WinCE phones...it is already difficult to use. On the other side of the spectrum "real phone companies", like Nokia or SonyEricsson have a real thinking around ergonomics, their brand value is based on usability, etc... Anyway with more and more "creative friendly" tools like flash, we will see more and more phones looking like the first Flash websites in the 90s...as you said cryptic :-) Yes, in fact I agree too, the right word is not artist…but designer or ergonomics specialist (ergonome in french ).

I agree, but partially.. Designer tends to do art - or would like to do art. But they sometime forgot about the inital goal of the underlying product...That's why so many web site designer are beautifull, but not useasable. And on the original site showing these flash animation, you have plenty of exemple of this: good looking screen, but not usefull.... A typicall example, is the "discovery" approach: "my website is so great that I do not give any clue to you - the user - on how to use it...Just press all the button and see what happens...". It start to improve on the web, but I am afread that we will see a first generation of mobile UI, very creative, but absolutely not usefull. Well, I wanted also to react to mobiface article…
