Courtesy of the New York Times, here’s how Paola Antonelli, senior curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art, described how Steve Jobs looked at a product’s design:

“He had an exceptional eye for design, and not just an eye, but an intelligence for design. We don’t talk just about the looks, but how objects communicate: The specific shape, how it feels in the hand, under the fingers, how you read it in the eye and the mind. This is what Steve cared passionately about.”

Who else do you think cares about this?

Do the co-CEOs of Research in Motion, for example, care about how their products feel in the mind’s eye?

Does Dell, Sony, Kodak, or Acer think about their products this way?

Do you?
