Thanks everyone for showing up!

Ada gave us a detail and thoughtful review on the topic “Adapting for the small screen”. Her company goes further by offering a free usability review of 2 screens of your iPhone app!!

I will definitely make use of the offer and ask for advices on my app. If you have an iPhone app, don’t wait. Please go ahead to contact them about the details of the offer.

If you have missed the event, we have put up the speech in blip. Slides of the speech are up as well.

Happy 2010! Hope you all had a great time during the holiday.

Time for a dose of Cocoa pill

This month’s focus is “Adapting for the small screen”. Facebook app, New York Times app and Engedget app are just a few of the thousands of popular apps which serve as the mobile complement of an larger application. How did they translate a full-blown application to the iPhone? What did they do right and what did they do wrong?

Ada Yuen from AddiThink – a Hong Kong based usability consultation company will answer that for us. They will talk about usability and interface design issues when you adapt an existing desktop application or web site for small screen devices, namely, iPhone.

Ada is a veteran in usability and interface design. Having serviced in company such BunnyFoot Asia and Global Sources, she has finally decided to go indie running her consultancy company -AddiThink specialized in usability, interface design and SEO services.

You can find out more about her in AddiThink site.
