Good overview and a need-to-know for designers. Todays browsers are still a challenge, yet the mobile scape is even more so.

What about keeping reference to the dragged item? How would I be able to manipulate that DOM element after having successfully been dropped in the trash?

Hmm thanks for the input. I wouldn\’t say that Illustrator is more appropriate for mobile and web UI design. Sure it will get the job done but Photoshop is much more user friendly when it comes to this type of thing. As long as the stuff you build in Photoshop uses scalable elements then you\’re good imo.

Using Photoshop to create vector graphics is a great idea, but I imagine managing complex designs this way would become very cumbersome since it's primarily a raster-based program. Photoshop was great in the days it was used to slice up graphics for table-based web layouts, but scaling graphics and creating responsive layouts is the new rule, not the exception. Vector programs like Illustrator are much more appropriate for these types of designs but, unfortunately, few people know how to use them well.

Comment on What makes iOS user experience so much better than Android? by ericbieller

Thanks for the input. Here's what I think

- Some of the greatest interfaces lack customization. This is because, if it's put together right, there should be no need to change the way it works. The iOS home screen is a pretty good example of this.

- And yes a 5 year old is a good benchmark. If they can use it then anyone can use it. Doesn't mean the phone isn't powerful.. just means it's extremely usable.

- This laggy interface is specific to Android. WP7 devices don't sport any amazing hardware yet their transitions and UI runs very smoothly and is executed very well. Plus iOS devices are quite affordable nowadays.

In either case thanks a lot for sharing your opinion!

i'd like to point out one main thing,
The Home screen is what you make it to be..If i want an home screen full of icons for apps and all i could easily do that on My HTC or actuall in general an android…could you change how an home screen looks on an iOS??
And ask yourself…is a 5 year old really a benchmark of comparision?
If ur comparing an iPhone to an HTC device that costs half of what an iPhone costs,there would be lag issues…But take something of comparable costs and then show the lag issues.
i have had and used all iphone till the 3GS…And now use the HTC Sensation…
When you are spending your hard earned cash..I'd preffer something that gives me more freedom..
iTunes only isint a freedom.
