The Jey Group’s signing off…

Before this project is terminated I would like to say some final words. Although The Jey Store (probably) won’t be completed it does however provide all functionality that we set out to do with our interface concept. Since the last post the Shopping Cart function has been added. You can now put and remove items from it. The design has also been altered, slightly, and not to say the least: The Search function is working. There’s still some issues with the Shopping Cart since it sometimes “forget” to list items, althought they actually are in the Shopping Cart. This bug has put some serious ants in my head for the last couple of days. I need to take a break and attack the problem with new eyes.

We had our presentation a couple of days ago and not surprisingly we got feedback that it was way too much dragging going on. Hey, we’re aware of that. The concept was to take the dragging and dropping as far as possible. Anyway, I’ve met one of the demands by adding a close button directly on the widget, so now you don’t have to drag it to the Trashcan in order to close the widget (although you still is able to).

No image of the design this time. Check it out for yourselves at http://www.alvione.com/jeystore/

Finally I want to mention my Individual project, a mobile adaptation of the Jeystore. Off course there’s no dragging and dropping goin on. Instead you can search for DVD’s at Amazon.co.uk from your mobile phone and retrieve both the Amazon Price as well as the lowest prices for new and used items respectively. So, now you can compare the prices at your local DVD store with the prices at Amazon.co.uk.

Here’s the location of the mobile service : http://www.alvione.com/jeystore/mobile/. Unfortunately, since I don’t have a lot of 3G mobile phones in my possession I’ve only tested it on my Nokia N73.
