iPhone web design discussions continuing

04/10/2007 by nicola.

Yeyyyy - alistapart.com have featured a very interesting article and the following discussion. This is definitely one to keep an eye on - alistapart.com was “the” resource for me when I was starting to learn web design with a lot of common sense articles, tips and best practices to be shared.

Its great that there is now a discussion going on regarding designing for mobile browsers and questioning whether designing for a device is good or not. For me designing for a mobile device appears to be the same thing as designing for a particular computer - you don’t just design for one web browser because those who follow standard web browser usage know - Firefox, Opera, Safari and others also have their fair share of users.

As with this, the iPhone is still new in terms of international usage, but as meaningful stats appear on mobile browser usage, then it will be clearer how and where design standards should be applied. Yet again development and .mobi, Cameron Moll and others are helping to bring mobile web design mainstream so that we can have constructive discussion around these issues.
