design for mobile web

some pointers


so is mobile web just a stripped down version of the

classic web?


to an extent its true but its not just that


how many devices, resolutions and browser

behaviors to target?


i don’t have a clue!!


128 x 160176 x 220 240 x 320 320 x 480


low speedlow memory

no common std for renderinginconsistent browser

behaviorswhat not?


so what to do?


think out of the browser


thinkdevice capabilities

& usage behavior


the phone already has a community built in


india sends 5 billion sms per day


calendar, camera, music player


everything related to mobile is about multi tasking


when you multitask,you snack

think twitter


the phone is always with you


so is the most personal thing


personalize the service


most possible scenarios should be corner cases


timing is key

remember ipl was not mobile friendly


i know sms

but do i really have amobile internet connection?


make sure the service makes sense to someone on the

road


if it doesn’t, don’t even attempt

thanks
