RIP Adobe Flash on Android - 0 views

  • Some core Flash technologies will live on in other Adobe products on mobile devices, such as AIR. Some developers use AIR to create media-driven mobile apps, mostly games. Flash as a ubiquitous video standard on the mobile Web will cease to exist, while AIR will live on as a rendering engine in applications built with Adobe.

BlackBoardEats - 0 views

  •  
    The concept of the app is to get exclusive deals at top restaurants and on the best artisanal culinary products. To Achieve this we came up with BBE app where clients of Blackboard Eats can easily access and register to the best food deals in their area while using features like; a mouthwatering city guide and map to tell you where to eat on the go; simple ways to store and use your passcode; a virtual membership card; a savvy tip calculator; and easy ways to spread the good taste to all your friends.

Mobile Site vs. Full Site (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox) - 0 views

  • Build a separate mobile-optimized site (or mobile site) if you can afford it. When people access sites using mobile devices, their measured usability is much higher for mobile sites than for full sites.
  • If mobile users arrive at your full site's URL, auto-redirect them to your mobile site.
  • Why Full Sites Don't Work for Mobile Use

  • Mobile-Optimized Sites The complete design guidelines for mobile websites require almost 300 pages, so I can't cover everything here. The basic ideas are to: cut features, to eliminate things that are not core to the mobile use case; cut content, to reduce word count and defer secondary information to secondary pages; and enlarge interface elements, to accommodate the "fat finger" problem.
  • The design challenge is to place the cut between mobile and full-site features in such a way that the mobile site satisfies almost all the mobile users' needs. If this goal is achieved, the extra interaction cost of following the link to the full site will be incurred fairly rarely.

    "Good mobile user experience requires a different design than what's needed to satisfy desktop users. Two designs, two sites, and cross-linking to make it all work."

Mobile Usability Update (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox) - 0 views

  • There's no need to declare this "the year of mobile." If anything, last year was the year of mobile in terms of the growth in both mobile usage and the availability of mobile sites and apps. Now, however, it's time to redesign your mobile site, because your existing version is probably far below users' growing expectations for user experience quality.
  • In addition to user testing, we also conducted 2 rounds of diary studies to discover how people use mobile devices in their everyday life. One diary study was in the U.S.; the other included participants from Australia, The Netherlands, Romania, Singapore, the U.K., and the U.S. In total, 27 people participated in the diary studies, providing us data about 172 person-days of mobile activities. Again, participants had a wide range of jobs, from bookkeeper to football coach.
  • It's interesting to consider the difference between mouse-driven desktop design and gesture-driven touchscreen design here. Desktop websites have a strong guideline to avoid horizontal scrolling. But for touch-screens, horizontal swipes are often fine. Indeed, mobile-device users typically expect to horizontally swipe their way through a carousel.
