UA Design and Implementation for iPhone and iPad Apps

Speaker: Joe Welinske

The iPhone application development market has exploded since Apple opened the App store. There have been hundreds of thousands of apps developed that have been sold to millions of people. For UA developers this represents a new market for our services. It is also an area with numerous challenges in uncharted waters. The new iPad should increase those opportunities and challenges even more.

All mobile apps can benefit from improved UI text. Word choices are extremely important with minimal screen real estate. While many, if not most, mobile apps are fairly simplistic, there is a rapidly growing list of application with relatively robust capabilities. Micro-concise instructions regarding difficult concepts can significantly improve a users initial experience with the mobile app. Many of the more robust apps work in concert with web-based applications and knowledgebases.

• How do you best integrate content displayed on a desktop or laptop with that of the mobile app?
• What words and phrases are best for optimal communication?

In this session, you'll learn how these issues were handled in several iPhone application projects by the presenter as part of ongoing UA consulting in the mobile space.
