The 24-hour mobile framework: Why you never hear “There’s a site for that!”

10 06 2011

Let’s face it. Mobile apps haven’t just caught on … they’ve caught on frickin’ fire. Meanwhile, mobile web sites are … barely smoldering.

I say mobile web developers should emulate success. Don’t model your site after a big-screen web site. Don’t rely on the presence of native browser controls. Make your site design as self-contained as possible … In particular I think the jQuery Mobile folks were smart to standardize on a back button at the top left corner and a home button at the top right … ‘cuz that’s where they go on a big-screen web browser.
