Daily news and opinion for 250,000 industry executives and mobile fanatics.
I created a walk through the other day for the developer showing how I imagined the client would work. It’s just a series of powerpoint slides but I hope it was useful for him.
I thought I’d post here too:
Slideshare hasn’t quite got all the formatting accurate as I used the current version of powerpoint to create it — but you get the idea.

Ewan, i’ve been through your slideshow, and i think the post flow you imagined is the right one.
Posted by Mirko Corli on January 21st, 2008 at 2:15 pm.A couple of things i’d like to suggest you
Mirko, I don’t your comment post contained all your text — if you get a chance, email me or re-post?
Posted by Ewan on January 21st, 2008 at 8:47 pm.Maybe my Safari for Windows messed up all my posting.
These were the two things i’d like to point out:
1) what about text formatting? I think it’s difficult to have a WYSIWYG XHTML editor in your mobile client. Maybe it’s better to have a kind of Textile formatting solution, using special characters, easy to type with a T9 keypad.
Let’s say in this way:
*word* -> bold
#word# -> italic
* word -> bullet list item
# word -> ordered list item
** h1
## h2
*# h3
### blockquote
and so on
I’ll stick with a few formatting options, nothing complicated, and with these two characters: consider you can easily type them with number 7 and 9 of your keypad.
2) what about blog stats?
I think it could be useful to have an option for tracking them: imagine you write a post you care about before going out for the weekend, and you don’t want to bring your laptop with you. You can track the post audience with such a feature.
