“Steal Good Stuff” – iOS Design Pattern Collections
Nov 24, 2011 Rule Number 1 if you’re going to “borrow” from other great people is to only steal things that are worth stealing. You know, good artists borrow, great artists steal. We are dealing more and more with people in large corporations suddenly finding themselves tasked like “hey you, design this iPad app!” The problem with that is that these people often don’t yet own an iPad that they use all the time. Fortunately for us several people have started collecting examples of great UI designs for us to peruse.

Check out this excellent article by Janko: Ultimate guide to table UI patterns. It is full of great examples and suggestions. After reading it, I just had to add three more scenarios: 1. Quicken Online allows simple editing with a pull down for more advanced editing. Mint.com does the same. The Ajax framework Ext JS and Ext for GWT offers a pre-built Grid row editor component.

What’s the difference between iOS and Android users?
What does your choice of smartphone platform say about you? Do you crave the security and polished user experience Apple offers iPhone users, or do you dig the variety of devices you’ll find on the Android landscape, as well as the freedom to run software from whomever you choose? All these differences between the platforms end up attracting different kinds of users, and today we look at one survey that attempts to reveal some of the traits that are more likely to apply to iOS users than Android fans, and the other way around. According to this study by Battery Ventures, iPhone users seem to have more white collar jobs, travel by air, and enjoy wine. Android users, on the other hand, are more likely to be blue collar, rely on public transportation, and prefer beer. But for those differences, the groups still share some commonality. Notably, when this user data is filtered to only compare iOS and Android users of similar income levels, many of these differences start to go away.

Many of us even buy WordPress themes and customize them to our use. And it is worth mentioning that 10 years ago HTML templates were widely used in the industry. The truth is that designers always looked to ease their work and move on to the next project, therefore mobile patterns are something the experts start to look into more and more. Mobile patterns are structured, organized and well researched before going online. Mobile Environment It is very important not to forget you design for mobile devices and not for the web.

Results of Mobile Phone Handedness Survey | Jonathan Stark
January 11, 2013 Back in 2010, I posted a mobile phone handedness survey and asked folks to fill it out to get a sense of how people held their phones. In Dec 2012, I added a field or two about screen size and resolution and re-publicized the existence of the survey. The results are available below in a couple different formats. Caveat: I wanted to segregate the results of the two surveys but for some unknown reason Google Docs wouldn't let me.
