Edward Tufte on interface design and the iPhone

The iPhone platform elegantly solves the design problem of small screens by greatly
intensifying the information resolution of each displayed page. Small screens, as on
traditional cell phones, show very little information per screen, which in turn leads
to deep hierarchies of stacked-up thin information--too often leaving users with
"Where am I?" puzzles. Better to have users looking over material adjacent in space
rather than stacked in time.
