FULL FUNCTIONALITY
MOBILE FIRST
Characteristics
¤ Simplified app: Cost-efficient app for one popular platform, reduced functionality (e.g. non-transactional, engage a specific customer segment), little or no marketing
Technical solution (example)
¤ External agency development, HTML-based or native standalone app, minimized risk by separation from core in-house applications & infrastructure
MULTI-PLATFORM
¤ Complete App: Fully functional and transactional app/ mobile optimized website, targeted towards mainstream customers, start marketing to a broad audience
¤ Native app/ mobile website, basic integration with core systems and partial inhouse capacities
¤ Expansion: Mobile/ tablet becomes a significant part of business volume & strategy, coverage of multiple mobile/ tablet platforms, redundancy & operational overhead require more efforts and deeper integration
CONVERGENCE
¤ No separation between mobile and non-mobile, deep integration of skills, technology and methodology
¤ Adaptive user frontends across devices, integration with core systems, skills and frameworks go in-house and become mission-critical
¤ Integration of mobile, tablet and non-mobile efforts. Adherence with cross-platform strategy, functional changes go by default to all platforms, deep integration and analytics across all frontends
¤ Mobile first becomes the main business driver and is permanently on the management mindset, primary target for functional and business changes are mobile platforms
¤ Build a deep and diversified skill-set in-house to cover multi-platform, in order to react to business requirements quickly across all platforms
Tablet design is guided by simplification of content, focus on essential functionality and clear, aesthetic and consistent design Tablet design best practices (1/2)
¤ Mobile usage depends on limited bandwidth and unsteady connectivity
¤ “Web page slow to load” is a top mobile frustration point for users
¤ Errors with Flash content on iOS
¤ Eliminate redirects, reduce page & image sizes
¤ Lightweight JavaScript libraries ¤ Use HTML5 features like content loading,
caching, CSS3 tags ¤ Consider cloud-based caching services for
globally minimized latency and load times
¤ Minimum button size 44x44px, min. 8 pix spacing between elements
¤ Support for common touch gestures (swipe, tap, etc.)
¤ Smart input error handling, easy access to undo or correct entry
¤ Make content responsive on touch

1. Speed & Connectivity
2. Partial attention
Challenges Solution approach
¤ Users use the tablet with partial attention and frequent interruptions
¤ Cluttered screens and complex interfaces with many small elements become a distractor
¤ Users expect Apps to be consistent in UI concepts and simplicity of usage
3. On-screen
direct mani-pulation
¤ Focus on key content items and functions, eliminate least used content
¤ Clear distinction between information and action items
¤ Adaptive interfaces hide advanced or irrelevant functionality
¤ On-the go usage, distraction and instable environment: One hand holds the tablet, one hand manipulates screen
¤ ‘Fat-fingered’ direct manipulation is less accurate and more casual than traditional mouse/keyboard

Apple ! Apple had an early start in establishing their ecosystem and
is leading in monthly app store revenues (4x higher in Nov 2012 than Google Play)
! With 180,000 iPad apps in the US presumably the biggest tablet specific App store
Android ! Android has quickly gained momentum and taken significant
market share. Amongst other factors, Google Play takes its momentum from strong growth outside the US. Tablet specific numbers are not disclosed
Amazon ! Amazon focuses on media content, such as video, music
and eBooks. Beyond that, Distmo reports 50,000 apps by Nov 2012 in the US Amazon App store.
Windows ! Microsoft Windows 8 was recently released in Oct 2012. ! As of Nov 2012, more than 20.000 apps are available in the
App Store, 87% of which are free. The launch of Windows 8 tablets is very recent and no tablet specific numbers have been released.
Uniqloud opinion Targeting multiple app ecosystems for smartphones and tablets is costly and difficult for publishers, retailers and developers. In the long run, there may be only 1-2 leading app ecosystems that are sustainable for mainstream business. !

usage contexts (at home vs. on the go) define the device preference
! Pinterest’s visual concept is more suitable for tablets users, hence we assume a strong tablet penetration
! Twitter & Foursquare are rather on-the-go/ geolocal services, which may result in a stronger mobile penetration than tablet

7. Tablet design is guided by simplification of content, focus on essential functionality and clear, aesthetic and consistent design Tablet design best practices
! Mobile usage depends on limited bandwidth and unsteady connectivity
! “Web page slow to load” is a top mobile frustration point for
! Errors with Flash content on iOS
! Eliminate redirects, reduce page & image sizes
! Lightweight JavaScript libraries ! Use HTML5 features like content loading,
caching, CSS3 tags ! Consider cloud-based caching services for
global
! Minimum button size 44x44px, min. 8 pix spacing between elements
! Support for common touch gestures (swipe, tap, etc.)
! Smart input error handling, easy access to undo or correct entry
! Make content responsive on touch

1. Speed & Connectivity
2. Partial attention
Challenges Solution approach
! Users use the tablet with partial attention and frequent interruptions
! Cluttered screens and complex interfaces with many small elements become a distractor
! Users expect Apps to be consistent in UI concepts and simplicity of usage
3. On-screen
direct mani-pulation
! Focus on key content items and functions, eliminate least used content
! Clear distinction between information and action items
! Adaptive interfaces hide advanced or irrelevant functionality
! On-the go usage, distraction and instable environment: One hand holds the tablet, one hand manipulates screen
! ‘Fat-fingered’ direct manipulation is less accurate and more casual than traditional mouse/keyboard
7. Tablet design is guided by simplification of content, focus on essential functionality and clear, aesthetic and consistent design Tablet design best practices
! User registration and extensive text entry are key reasons for dropoff during purchase/ checkout
! On screen keyboard is harder to use, errors are slower to correct
! Simplify user registration, use social connect features
! Remember entered text, dropdowns to auto-populate content, predict & autocomplete text
! Utilize GPS/ IP-address/ camera to replace & minimize data entry
! Highlight key items such as price, shopping cart items and buy button
! Avoid scrolling and keep checkout flow as short as possible
! Allow guest checkout and alternative payment methods

4. Minimize data entry
6. OS specific & popular
App patterns
Challenges Solution approach
! Devices and OS platforms have different functionalities & hardware features
! Most tablet users are avid users of social networking such as Facebook or Twitter & popular System apps
5. Optimize checkout in eCommerce
! Many checkout processes are hard to use on mobile devices and impact conversion rate
! Compulsory user registration with detailed profile to complete
! Navigation elements/ menus/ popups are not fat-finger friendly
! Dynamically resize and rearrange screen elements in landscape mode
! Multi-touch elements, gyroscope and device positioning features
! Reuse application patters (drag to refresh, etc.) from facebook etc. and comply with expected application behaviour
7. Twitter simplified its mobile site and created a higher compatibility based on user behavioural analytical findings Example: Twitter mobile website redesign, July 2012
Before
Sources: Twitter%
! Page size reduction, faster load times ! Multi-browser support, CSS3/ HTML5 standard
adoption, enable JavaScript turned off browsers ! Dynamic scaling from 240x240 to large
resolution screens ! Look & feel brand-consistent, even without
images loaded
After
! Statistical analysis of mobile usage behaviour ! Sign-up/ Sign-in pain points ! Most important user interaction patterns ! Iterative development ! Compatibility testing with a wide array of mobile devices
