November 18, 2008, by mobiThinking
What is the Future of Mobile? Well from what mobiThinking heard at the conference of the same name in London yesterday, it sounds like it should be permission-led, whatever it is.

I was reading on Techcrunch a rumor about the new UI design for Windows Mobile 6.5. See the article, Rumor: Windows Mobile 6.5 screenshot shenanigans.

The MMA Awards, new stats and the presidents swansong
November 13, 2008, by mobiThinking
It’s the big shindig for the Mobile Marketing Association in San Diego, US, today. It is also the swan song of outgoing MMA president Laura Marrott. Reading Laura’s in depth interview with mobiThinking brings home just how much the MMA and mobile marketing has come on during her three-and-a-half year tenure. 200,000 air miles a year… that really is above and beyond the call of duty. Laura’s successor – whoever that might be – has big boots to fill... Read More

I want to look at three typical online store pages and then go through some ideas about how best to apply mobile web design principles to the pages. I'll go through the process of building the site from the ground up... from simple sketches through wireframing and the final design... Read More

November 3, 2008, by atrasatti
DeviceAtlas 2.1 brings some VERY exciting features that kept us awake during the last few nights and we hope that the results will also keep you awake at night looking at how you can improve your mobile sites and contents.
