UX = User Experience User experience (UX) is about how a person feels about using a product, system or service. User experience highlights the experiential, affective, meaningful and valuable aspects of human-computer interaction and product ownership, but it also includes a person’s perceptions of the practical aspects such as utility, ease of use and efficiency of the system. User experience is subjective in nature, because it is about an individual’s feelings and thoughts about the system. User experience is dynamic, because it changes over time as the circumstances change. – source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_experience

But someone, or a team was thinking about the entire User Experience

Apple and Google make different choices, but both are thinking
