From: Aaron Bartell
the desktop will still be much bigger in scope IMO.
How much of an application's UI CAN BE deployed to mobile devices? My
laptop
has a 17" screen which occupies something like 9X more physical space than
an
iPhone, for example. How much work can realistically be done on a 3" or 4"
screen? How much work can be done on a touch-screen keyboard vs a laptop
or
desktop keyboard?
On the other hand, is sounds like Pete is suggesting that larger screens
may be
divided into smaller components. Maybe touch-screen users can swipe to the
left, or swipe to the right to reveal related components. A list
component. A
full record component. A selection list component. Maybe all the major
components are included, but you swipe, or press something to reveal them.
Maybe a calendar component overlays an entire data entry page, but
disappears
after a date is selected. Maybe you use a multi-page / multi-step dialog
to
perform a process. There's something to say for touch-screen navigation,
where
you're actually using your fingers, rather than reaching for a mouse.
