Designing for Mobile

iPhone and the DroidI recently got Motorola's Droid - and boy have I been taking a lot of crap from my iPhone friends. I didn't buy it to be alternative and I do love the iPhone - though I have to say, I really do dig the Droid too. Very quickly, its become firmly attached to my hand - I always have it and use it constantly. Talk about instant gratification. All my info and the entire Internet in my palm.

So why did I get the Droid? Because each device has its own browser and set of display issues, and its clear that the Droid and Google's Android operating system is going to be huge. We are now getting many requests to develop mobile sites for our clients. I thought it would make good sense to have the next key mobile device to test on.

Looking at the line up of new mobile devices coming to market, its clear that we're approaching (if not past) the point where everyone should be running a separate mobile site.

I just wrote a post with a little background and 5 tips for mobile web design and posted it to InsidePropeller. Please check it out and comment with your thoughts.
