The look may be responsible for, not only moving iPhones off the shelves, but for facilitating the buzz in the media that’s forgiving of its usability flaws. By being visually attractive, the iPhone makes a strong positive first impression that ultimately makes it seem functionally better than it really is.

I like your description of the halo effect. What I'm finding is that I am trying to tell myself that the Mac is a better designed machine .. just coz that the reputation they have! Some things are painful tho. The main thing being trying to juggle Mac and PC with Bootcamp. I've got Parallels now and it makes it easier, however, my Mindmanager Pro 7 software doesn't like saving docs across the two operating systems. Has anyone found that?

The opposite of the halo effect actually has a name too - it's called the 'devil effect' or - my preference - the 'horns effect' :) look forward to reading your post! great idea Alex.

A kind of 'first impressions / first time experience' if you will and how we can influence a future by the perception of the present. Not rocket science I guess but I hope to point to real design oportunities... I’m going to try to build on this with a post that looks at the reverse of the halo effect.

Things may not always be perfect, but if you show people what to expect in advance, deliver on what you promise, then the overall impression starts out positive, and people are more likely to overlook smaller, and inevitable imperfections. It's what happens when we set a tone in our office, our homes, our lives. It builds in expectations, and we spend more time trying to maintain the reality of those expectations, rather than violate them. God, how I love cognitive science!
