Oh so excited to go to
Orlando Florida again. This time again with the family and obviously a few days to Disneyworld.
Last time was truly a great time and the 4 days felt like 2 weeks. We really had a blast and the little one enjoyed it as much as he could.
One problem however occured. Disneyworld has a deal with Verizon, so my phone wasn’t able to take advantage of all the Disneyworld Magic Craziness.
It’s kind of mind blowing that Disney, who really has the entire Disneyworld sorted out to a milimeter…doesn’t offer any mobile support. But whatever..maybe that’s purpose, so the people actually walk around and don’t go crazy with their phone. Obviously not the biggest fun for a mobile enthusiast.
If you think that you’ve seen it all, here a few crazy apps, that will blow you away:
Ok…Ifart..is old and boring,but here our top 5
Passion App: Measures passion and tells you how to increase it.
Fake Smoker: You can light up a cigar on your phone. Whenever you want
Pimple Popper: Allows you to pop pimples. Yeah right
Sim Stapler: Makes you fell like you stapling something. Who needs that?
Date Checker: Check out if your date is sleaze or check the interests
but whatever…..the engagement ring finder app from Tiffany’s, which allows you to pick from 100s of engagement rings is still one of my favorite.
With 2000+ devices, multiple carriers and various mobile OS versions designing for the mobile world becomes
more difficult day by day. After talking to a few guys over at Crisp here are the top 15 rules to apply for mobile web design:
1. Avoid using tables for the main layout.
2. Use CSS. Period!
3. Use UTF-8 characters in the code
4. Design for usability and with the small size screen in mind
5. Use lists over text fields. Typing on a mobile phone is still a pain
6. Design light pages. 20kb should be the max
7. Use .gif or .jpg images for maximum compability
8. Use valid markup
9. Simplify whatever you can simplify
10. Give users the option to use normal site
11. Don’t force users to download the app
12. Limit scrolling to one direction
13. Avoid pop-ups or open new window function
14. Minimize use of images
15. Optimize navigation
16. Avoid Flash and Javascript (if possible).
17. Double-check that re-direct to Mobile page is setup right
18. Use Mofuse, Mippin or Mobilesitegalore or anyone of the other mobile web design companies if you don’t know how to design a mobile website
