- 5. Rethink, Don't Shrink No 1:1 between desktop app / desktop browser and iOS App Keep common brand elements (colors, logos, functionality) Smaller areas to interact with data
- 8. Have a Strategy Not Just a Sales Pitch
- 9. Have a Strategy Not Just a Sales Pitch Content population How is the app updated? What are the content sources? Paid or Free ads or no ads in-app purchases KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE Brand consistency Iterative development App should have specific focus Optimized for microtasking
- 10. Mobile vs (and) Native Ideal to have both Mobile - apps are carrier independent Mobile - Easier to deploy Mobile - Existing knowledge base on staff Mobile - Utilize HTML5 offline caching video tag location aware
- 11. Mobile AND Native Native - Faster response Native - Greater potential for "offline" utils Native - Ability to utilize native features of the phone GPS multi-touch contact iPod accelorameter PUSH gestures pinch-zoom
- 12. iPad, iPhone, Universal, Oh My Which device should I develop for? - depends on functionality and audience No hard and fast rule If you have benefits of running on both then start with Universal binary. User's don't like maintaining two different versions of apps
- 13. Mobile AND Native http://goo.gl/5SnBM "It’s an easy answer; native apps provide improvements in performance and storage, they work offline and are better at remembering where you last left-off. Native apps can also exploit the platform’s built-in technology, such as the iPhone’s camera or Location Services (Twitter’s website, for example, always gets my location wrong, but the official Twitter app, hooking-into iOS’s Location Services, never fails to figure out where I am.) Convenience, performance, function and flexibility, then, make native apps the single best way to move forward. That’s been pretty obvious to everyone since 2007, so why would Balsillie say otherwise?"
- 14. iPad Only Example Flipboard - It is your personalized, social magazine http://goo.gl/tffL
- 15. iPhone Only Example Nike+ GPS - "The Nike+ GPS app helps you get the most out of every run by tracking where you go and motivating you to take it further." http://goo.gl/KlSL
- 16. Universal Example 2Do - "Finest Todo App" http://goo.gl/KFyTF
- 17. Not Rapid Development Talent pool is small Compiled not Scripted Device platform considerations Display considerations (retina display) Mutlitasking creates opprotunities, but adds levels of complexity for developers Wifi, EDGE, 3G or no connectivity It's a phone FIRST App Store submissions and rule
- 19. Design Considerations Meaning of life isn't 42, but 44 (x N) Use Apple's elements, but got to enhance Save space by using hidden controls Always let user know what is happening Pad/Pen are just as important and valuable as XCode Simple UI's AREN'T cutting it anymore
- 20. Design Considerations Tapbots - http://goo.gl/hgKdj
- 22. Future Predictions 2010 - Location, games and social networking, cloud storage 2011 - micro payments, business/enterprise apps, LBS (more than 'I am here'), augemented reality, cloud distribution, targeted ads, *tv Location Labs SimpleGEO Square WePay iAds , AdMob , MobFox AWS (Amazon Web Services), BrightCove

- #10: Don't just say you will have video? How is that video going to be served up? HUGE app file size which can't be downloaded over cell network or streaming. Must have backend system. Doesn't need to have everything and the kitchen sink
- #11: No differenet than developing for multiple browsers
- #12: "offline" utils are 2do apps, reading, cached content
- #20: 44 is number of pixel height for most elements. pad/pen save LOTS of rework time. Easier to change pencil then byte code
- #23: brightcove will benefit greatly the *tv market
