- 17. Mobile Social 2.0 Tips Focus on the user experience first What do mobile users want from a social networking product? How will their use differ from their desktop use? Design the mobile site And test it thoroughly! Then think about monetisation
- 18. Localised Content and Usability Relying on today’s slow and unreliable GPS can be frustrating for the user Sometimes people want to localise where they are going rather than where they are Allow user-entry of city, neighborhood, ZIP code, intersection, or selection from a map… Or even by landmark

- 30. Pinch & Stretch Nightmare
- 31. Inconsistent UI “ Back button” functionality inconsistently available Contact editibility only occasionally available Moving from section to section awkward
- 32. WebKit http://webkit.org/ Used as the browser foundation by Safari, Nokia, Android... Open Source application framework upon which a browser can be built An open source project run by Apple Components WebCore JavaScriptCore Drosera SunSpider
- 33. The WURFL: Wireless Universal Resource File http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/ XML configuration file that contains information about capabilities and features of many mobile devices Device data repository about mobile phones Open source, free, and voluntary Accessed by API at run time Fosters community among developers Luca Passani

- 35. Touch 2008 was the year of the bad touch screen phone. 2009 is the year of the iPhone knockoff... from everyone. But there will be more bad touch screens.
- 36. The Return of the QWERTY Keypad As consumers get tired of bad touch screens, QWERTY phones will pick up demand. However, it remains to be seen whether touch+QWERTY will be the winning combination...
- 37. Touch Screen, Track Ball, & Joystick Allow one-handed single-mode use to place or answer a call. That means, only with the touch screen or only with the track ball, or only with the joystick (or 5-way pad)—to answer and place a call.
- 38. Animation & Sexy Graphics The iPhone and competitors use sexy transitions and animations to cover up an underlying inconsistent and awkward UI. Delete buttons are all over the place. Back functionality is inconsistent (sometimes at upper left, otherwise not available). Sometimes things zoom left and right, other times they zoom up and down. Sometimes things just require too many strokes to complete.
- 39. Bigger, Better Cameras 5-megapixel standard, 8-megapixel not unusual Autofocus Zoom However, it’s just too hard to transfer photos to a computer or via MMS (or email)—exceptions noted!
- 40. Hiding the Underlying OS Popular press criticise HTC handsets for not hiding Windows Mobile enough... What about Android? What about LiMo? What about S60?
- 41. Application Stores Apple pioneered the mobile-accessed application store. Google’s Android and RIM’s Blackberry are also offering stores. Microsoft purported to be working on an application store. Qualcomm’s BREW has had a hard-to-use store for a number of years. Nokia, Nextel, and others have missed this opportunity.
- 42. The End of Pink Phones We can all breathe a sigh of relief.
- 43. Music, Finally Well-Done Music stores on the phones are a promising user experience opportunity. Standard headphone jacks are smart—and they should be on the top of the phone, not the left, right, or bottom! Side loading is the user experience worth considering: it’s a nightmare in Windows Mobile, a breeze on the iPhone, but what about S60 and other OS’s?
- 44. Mapping & Location Awareness to a New Level Presence, direction, speed, all coming to phones in 2009. Google Maps leads in usability for base mapping applications. Navigation applications are a different story.
