17 Don'ts Of Mobile Application Design Development

Don’t...

... assume a need
... go chasing waterfall
... be short-sighted
... assume browsers are equal
... trivialize choice of platform
... downplay user experience
... gloss over bits & bytes
... be online only
... favour branding over users
... disrupt the experience
... load too much too fast
... squeeze the world in
... re-invent the wheel
... make user type
... do roll-overs
... forget to test
... forget to guide your users
