Abstract
In this paper we propose an optimal information architecture model for mobile multimedia devices. In our study we first reviewed
the information architecture models of four currently popular mobile multimedia devices, Apple iPod Video, Nokia N80, Sony
Ericsson W800i and Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP). Then we used Open card sorting method to find out what kind of mental
models does people have for optimal information architecture model. Finally we compared these two study results together and
created a design proposal.
