Android fragmentation: one developer encounters 3,997 devices | Ars Technica
17 days ago by sunpig
One developer can do business with nearly 4,000 distinct Android ROMs, according to data posted by the creators of OpenSignalMaps on Tuesday. While the Android platform provides a lot of flexibility to consumers, OpenSignalMaps' data drives home the point that the small army of device variations can be staggering. Market developers can miss out on a lot by not supporting less popular or older devices.

encryption is not gravy | Benlog
4 weeks ago by sunpig
That last point bears repeating: if you design a system with encryption where users manage keys, you’re going to lose features. You want gravy on that turkey? Sorry, no stuffing for you. “What?” you say. But I want my stuffing and my gravy! I want to believe I can have it all!

Triumph of the Mundane | Blog | design mind
5 weeks ago by sunpig
It is inevitable that devices will ship with interactivity built in. But as more devices become functional, it’s going to become overwhelming to have each device be it’s own island. The three shifts discussed here: micro functionality, liberated interaction, and a clustered ecosystem all point to a new pattern of thinking: small devices with small functionality that all work together in profound ways. This is a triumph of the mundane; a challenge to our PC soaked way of thinking.

Testing For Dummies | Testing
9 weeks ago by sunpig
When testing the devices, there are 4 main areas to cover, feature phones, smart phones with low level support, smart phones and tablets. The primary tablet market will be 7-inch devices up to 720x1280 pixels with the lowest smart phone being 240x360 pixels.
Currently, we are only approaching devices that are not conforming to desktops, so smart TV’s, games consoles and other exotic devices are test, desktops are not.

There's no good place to quickly search for weird HTML, CSS, and JS quirks in mobile devices. I'll try and list mine here.
Please feel free to add any legitimate non-framework-specific issues to this tracker. If the issue deals with a browser in active development, please file the issue with that browser's tracker as well.

Hear! Hear! the WURFL Cloud is finally here!
11 weeks ago by sunpig
WURFL has represented the de-facto Device Description Repository for 10 years. It predated virtually all initiatives in the DDR space, be they commercial or driven by some standard body. Many have asked about the availability of a WURFL Cloud over the years. The advent of ScientiaMobile has made this possible.

Andy Ihnatko's Celestial Waste of Bandwidth (BETA) » My Morning Purchases
march 2010 by sunpig
"I’m starting to wonder if 3G is going to be terribly important. “Internet everywhere” is impulsively attractive, but do you really need mobile broadband? New England is practically lousy with free WiFi. There’s so much radio traffic here that it interferes with the migration patterns of many local bird species. As I entered the coffeeshop this morning I passed by a whole family of wrens, shivering in little Bermuda shorts and wondering what the hell happened."
