Hands-On: A Closer Look at the Palm Pre and webOS | Mobile Phone News Update - 0 views
-
The Palm Pre smart phone and the company's much-anticipated new operating system-called webOS-are among the most buzzed-about products to come out of CES this year. Despite staging its splashy launch, Palm has been a bit secretive with the device-reminding us of a certain company in Cupertino. But PC World had the chance to sit down with the company and delve into the OS everyone is talking about. And though we had very limited time with the Pre and WebOS, we can tell you what we liked-and what we didn't.

There is a world of information that we can't immediately see in the streets we walk and drive in, and in the buildings in which we work, play and live. The great potential of the mobile web - whether it is delivered by smart phone, automobile navigation system, or other device - is to reveal this hidden world to us, by adding geospatial and timing data to the user experience. In this way, the mobile web is poised to become the delivery mechanism for a new generation of location-aware applications.

My earlier post about the mobile Text Input Field was met with quite a bit of interest. A little surprising perhaps, since it's a somewhat mundane problem area. But understandable, because its so important to get right. So, to complement it, here is an input control for bound numerical data. Multifield The little brother of the text input field is the Multi-field editor. While the Text input field is suitable for general free form text and numbers, it is not ideal for structured data like dates, time, monetary values, number ranges, etc.
Code: Flickr Developer Blog » Lessons Learned while Building an iPhone Site - 0 views
-
A few weeks ago we released a version of the Flickr site tailored specifically for the iPhone. Developing this site was very different from any other project I've worked on; there seems to be a new set of frontend rules for developing high-end mobile sites. A lot of the current best practices get thrown out the window in the quest for minimum page weight and fastest load times over slow cellular connections.
Sender 11: The anatomy of a text input field - 0 views

There are two interface interface elements of typical mobile user interfaces that does the heavy lifting. That is the Text Input Field and the List. I thought I'd share with you some of the usability considerations that is going into Text Input Fields at mBricks. The keypad is well suited to number entry, but ill suited to text entry. Entering text on a mobile phone is hard, and people tend to avoid it if they can. The less text input you have, the better. But you can't avoid it all together. Text input fields are suitable for plain text, numbers and passwords. For entering specific data types like date, time, number ranges etc. you should not use a text input field. Instead use Multi-field Input or a selection widget like a Calendar.

brianleroux/xui @ GitHub - A simple javascript framework for building mobile web appli... - 0 views

We hear your words. Why another JavaScript framework?! When development of PhoneGap was under way we noticed slow load times for modern JavaScript frameworks (such as Prototype, MooTools, YUI, Ext and (yes) even jQuery. A big reason why these libraries are so big is because is mostly they contain a great deal of cross browser compatability code. The mobile space has less browser implementations (so far) and different needs. Thus XUI. XUI strives to be a framework for first class mobile device browsers such as WebKit, Fennec and Opera with future support under consideration for IE Mobile and BlackBerry.

Too often, when companies decide to make a mobile version of their application, they take their desktop application or site, decide which features work for mobile, and then convert those features to a mobile language or two. Through this method we get flight times, stock prices, checking email, checking calendars, local weather, and several other useful but limited applications. These applications do not fully meet user needs. To do anything in particular, the user has to visit several applications, one after the other, remembering data from application to application.
