Wrong, says Lee Duddell, managing director and founder of online usability testing service whatusersdo.com.

Nielsen said: “There were really a lot of usability problems in this first-generation of iPad applications. It’s often quite difficult for people to discover what they have to do because the options are not very visible.”
