Designing for sound

Sound as a part of interaction design seems to be the domain of games,
mostly. But I would love to hear more about how members of this list
envision the role of sound in other scenarios. I feel that it is the
most (sadly) under-utilized aspect of design.

Regards,
Jerome

Interaction09: Dont' forget, international phone plan!

Good tips, Janna. When I went to Mexico for a week a year or so ago, ATT
also advised me to keep the plan on for an additional month because
sometimes the reconciliation from "foreign" (US-perspective) operators does
not come in right away. This may have just been their way of getting me to
pay extra for another month, though!

Drawbacks of using Flex for data processingapplication?

(Edit : This is a re-post as my original didn't pass moderation.
Providing context is a crime it seems)

Just to defend Flex for a moment (again another Flex developer here).

1. It is free, it is just the Adobe IDE that costs money. You can
download the SDK for free and start working.
2. Flex is more like a traditional programming language, so while
Javascript / HTML developers may struggle to get their heads round it
("traditional" web developers), hand it to a Java developer and they'll
be banging the work out in no time.
