Daniel,

Thanks for such an informative collection of insights towards Mobile App Dev.
I have been trying to compare as much facts as possible about the three platforms and you have done just that, beautifully!

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for that post!

I agree the design guidelines for Android aren’t very helpful. Guidelines for developers and UX / Visual designers could better be separated. And it would be great if a toolkit would be made for designers to work with.

So far I have found a stencil for Visio

And one for Omnigraffle

But am still looking for a Fireworks version. If we find the time to make one for ourselves we will let you know!

Regards
Inge

Excellent post. Given our experience in working on almost all mobile platforms, I agree with your sentiments. What we have done at Endeavour is to really educate our customers on what device strengths they can utilize without taking away the strength of the application in one particulat platform. We have had issues with audio streaming and other issues which behave differently way more than the user experience.

Appreciate your blog.
