Editor's Notes
- #2 INTRO *** TEXT *** Good morning everyone. Normally I get to go later in the day and furiously modify my deck to react to some other great ideas brought up during the rest of the conference, but today you get my presentation as I made it on the plane ride over. I should say before we begin that if you don’t understand my English well — even if a native English speaker and I just talk too fast — I Will post this whole deck to Slideshare, BUT you can follow along right now with my speaker notes at 4ourth.com/123 But let’s get to it…

- #18 Okay then: Mobile is not read top to bottom, and really not in an F-pattern. Content on mobile devices is read, and interacted with, from the inside out. The center gets the most views. This is true for phones, and tablets equally.
- #19 So, you might think that when you copy the UI for something like this, the key controls are the actions and input at the top and bottom of the viewport. [CLICK] but in fact the primary content and interactive area is the list in the middle of the page.
- #20 This is great! We love list and grid views. Just put your main content into them, in the middle of the page. Make sure menu bars, tabs, and status displays and action items on the top or bottom are SECONDARY. Think about how you use Twitter or Facebook or Email… you read the content in the center and May Sometimes compose new content, or go to another section using controls along the sides.

- #23 Just put your primary content in the middle Secondary information or controls VISIBLE along the edges as buttons or tabs Tertiary items are HIDDEN in menus in the corners … When architecting your app or website, just take all the content and functions, and rank them: 1, 2, 3
