Mobile phones usability research - Advices on video recording

Hello,

I am going to run a usability research on the BlackBerry Curve, for which I
want to video record the device screen for a later detailed analysis.

I got a couple of camcorders, cheap camcorders, to discover that the
resolution they offer is so poor that they are of no value for this
research.

Apart from using a good quality camcorder, do you guys have any other advice
on how to set up a test that requires video recording of a small screen?

I am going to use to cameras, one recording the interaction with the device,
the other recording the user's faces, for later synchron

Pure Text based interface for search.

Hi all,

I am working on a mobile interface that provides a text-only interface. The
interaction is purely text-based. No images, no hyper links.

I am wondering if anyone has done a project similar to this and is there any
pattern or guideline for this type of interaction available?

As of now, the existing interface provides the summary of search result as a
numbered list, and the user types in the corresponding number of the desired
result to view more detail.

Thanks,

Won Sun Parque

Mobile fonts question

I'd like to donate fonts to anyone who are working on mobile phone UI's, but
I don't know if it is legal.

A while ago I made a two font sets, the Nokia Series 40 and the Nokia Series
60. These are the non-anti aliased fonts used in J2ME applications.
The font sets were recreated by me (using FontLab) and I have been using
them to create pixel-correct user interfaces for for the small and medium
size screens. (The new anti aliased fonts for large screens are available
from Nokia)

Does anyone know if it is legal to distribute these?

Mobile UI standards

Hi all,

I am embarking on a Mobile/Cell Phone application UI/IA/IXD project,
and as I am new to the mobile market (from the design side, anyway),
I was wondering if any of the mobile-oriented UI/IXD peeps here have
a set of standards, or can point be to some resources for such.

Things I am curious about -

Screensizes
Color Depth
Font Handling - is the a list of "phone safe" fonts ?
State Handling (off, over, down)
graphic formats

and really any kind of "general" pointers Mobile-experienced
designers can give me would be swell.

TIA !

HTC touch

Check out this product: http://www.htctouch.com/
It is by HTC.

Here's the dealio. it is an only touch interface device
It has similar specs as the iPhone (just no iPoding).
It concentrates more on video and photo than music.
touch-gestures for navigation.

It is built on top of Windows Mobile 6 but with significant customization.

Further they show the UI in their commercial on their web site.

The hardware is not nearly as compelling as the iPhone, but still not bad.

Oh!

Case study

There is not a lot of examples or case studies of what people are working on
in the mobile space. I am talking about normal day-to-day cases, it does not
have to be the spectacular stuff.

mobile interface design guidelines

Hi all,

For one of my project i have to design interface for handheld devices. Does

design for mobile devices.

Also do any one know any particular studies where people qunatify these
guidelines and standards and generated user interfaces for different mobile
devices automatically?

thanks a lot!

mobile UI pattern library: the wiki

We'd like your participation!

Little Springs Design has posted a wiki containing the pattern library
in my new book, Designing the Mobile User Experience. So far, it's
got around 10 patterns posted, with more to come in the next few
weeks.

http://patterns.littlespringsdesign.com

If you are designing a mobile application, check out the library. Use
what you find.

If you are an experienced designer, go ahead and get an account.
Modify the site. Add to it. Repost it elsewhere (according to the
liberal license).

Testing usability of mobile applications

Hi,

I'm planning on usability-testing a S40 application, and would like
to hear about the ways you tend to test usability of mobile
applications. Paper prototype is always an option, however, is that
all you do, or do you test with real devices? If so, do you capture
the input some ways, possibly with a software or a camera, or do you
just watch the user use his mobile?

Regards,

LePo
