UX Lisbon: The Next 10 Years “Clients ask for applications to be designed and created but often, they can't see the next ﬁve years so they don't where they are going. For instance, the biggest companies in the World do not know what to do with mobile.” http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?1098

“we need to go mobile...”

“we need an iPhone app...”

“...why [do] they ignore all devices except [the] iPhone. Not everyone has an iPhone. Could you speak to the non- iPhone users...” 12/2009

“Good mobile apps focus on a few important tasks.

The MUX Archetypes I propose are: 1. Application Centric 2. Activity Centric 3. Timeline Centric 4. Context (Location) Centric 5. Process/Task Centric 6. Emotion Centric 7. People/Identity Centric “Can we look at a user interface and guess what it’s going to do for us? If the answer is a!tentative yes, it probably means its interaction model is based on a common archetype.” http://johnnyholland.org/2010/05/17/archetypes-and-their-use-in-mobile-ux/

Data from current users muddling through your desktop site...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/bbcinternet/2010/02/bbc_online_our_mobile_future.html

“Now, for a growing majority of mobile strategies that don’t require a global presence on widely varying devices, the discussion begins with iPhone. [...] And iPad app may soon replace iPhone app as the starting point. Frankly, as the adoption rate of iPhone increases and if iPad follows suit, it will become increasingly difﬁcult to argue in favor of a starting point other than iPhone OS. The NPR iPad app, for one, provides a much more pleasant user experience than NPR.org.” - Cameron Moll http://cameronmoll.tumblr.com/post/498950232/the-mobile-web-vs-the-objective-c-web

HTML5 / CSS3 Here are the pros of web app development: » Web developers can use their current authoring tools. » You can use your current web design and development skills. » You are not limited to developing on the Mac OS. » Your app will run on any device that has a web browser. » You can ﬁx bugs in real time. » The development cycle is fast. http://building-iphone-apps.labs.oreilly.com/ch01.html#ch01_id35931969

HTML5 / CSS3 Here are the pros of web app development: » Almost a silver bullet for “One Web” » Works with URLs (you.com) or app stores (via phonegap, etc...) » Highly skinable to different colors/designs » Quick to prototype

HTML5 / CSS3 They’re ﬁ xing thes Here are the cons of web app development: e... » You cannot access the all cool hardware features of the phone. » You have to roll your own payment system if you want to charge for the app. » It can be difﬁcult to achieve sophisticated UI effects. http://building-iphone-apps.labs.oreilly.com/ch01.html#ch01_id35931969

“In many ways, HTML5 is just the baseline of where mobile browsers are headed. Many companies, from carriers to handset manufacturers, are looking to mobile browser innovation as a key to their mobile strategies.” http://radar.oreilly.com/2010/05/mobile-operating-systems-and-b.html

LOCATION The company [Yahoo] is also going to target local search because it believes it can leverage the intimacy of a user’s location to deliver better results. All the major players are doing this, but Yahoo is showing some innovation with things like Sketch-A-Search. “Mobile search results should be actual stuff that you care about blocks away from you,” said David Katz, VP of North America at Yahoo Mobile. “There are a lot of opportunities to use location – it can be when you’re near a certain point, and there’s also a lot of opportunity pairing location with a time of day.” Yahoo eyes mobile for growth
