Notas del editor
- move things along little by little
- Note: Constraints make mobile interesting. A challenge.
- If you're not aware of the constraints, the UX will be poor.
- [Note - do mobile users have shorter attention spans?]
- e.g. In SA, most people have very limited data connections. Mixit
- Like a large bag of chocolate buttons
- Motorola
- Exit, Quit,
- Miniaturisation (shrinking things down)
- Mobilisation (process of selecting the features most important to the user given the mobile context) vs
- minimising the number of subconscious questions the user needs to make
- super simple, but so few design this
- (all the time, we are building a relationship with the user)
