10 Once upon a time and not so very long ago, mobile meant digital experiences for on-the- go phones. Now we use the word for experiences that are neither on-the-go, nor for phones. Mobile isnt especially mobile anymore: its on the couch, or in bed…and even the crisp equation mobile = phone started to break down with the arrival of tablets of all shapes and sizes. http://globalmoxie.com/blog/desknots.shtml

13 The Options What can we do?

14 OPTION #1 Go Native

15 The primary design principle underlying the Webs usefulness and growth is universality …it should be accessible from any kind of hardware that can connect to the Internet: stationary or mobile, small screen or large. Tim Berners-Lee, Long Live the Web, http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=long-live-the-web Not every mobile device will have your app on it, but every mobile device will have a browser. Jason Grigsby, @grigs

17 OPTION #2 Experiences

18 Device experiences are a way to classify the troves of connected devices available to consumers today so you can build and design separate and appropriate interfaces for each. A device experience is defined by how a device is most commonly used and the technical capabilities or limitations it possesses. Luke Wroblewski, https://developers.facebook.com/html5/blog/post/6/

20 OPTION #3 RWD

21 RWD is an approach to web design in which a site is crafted to provide an optimal viewing experienceeasy reading and navigation with a minimum of resizing, panning, and scrolling across a wide range of devices. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_web_design

22 The Challenge Changing the way we work

23 RWD is a method, not a feature.

24 The concept of permanently placing content on a web page for a single browsing width or resolution is becoming a thing of the past. Trent Walton, http://trentwalton.com/2011/07/14/content-choreography/
