Is that intended to support the statement or refute it? :) "Easy to use" rarely exists in a vaccuum. I was recently trying to help my mother setup something on her iPhone. Believe it or not, I'd never used that device before -- and I actually found it very hard to use. That's because I didn't know what I was doing, so I needed to explore through all of the options, randomly trying gestures to see what they would do. Because my mental model of exploration included the ability to back up one step, I felt hamstrung by the apparent inability of the iOS UI to do that.
