There are several good books about designing for the desktop web, and even more about designing desktop software. There are, however, few books that cover wireless products at all and even fewer that focus on user interface design for this medium. This book's goal is to get the reader to: Understand the wireless platforms and their differences Design user interfaces for wireless devices Design user interfaces for the wireless web (WAP) Weiss compares the wireless environment to the desktop environment; examines the constraints which apply to small devices (e.g. size of screen, in-put options: i.e.keyboard, number pads, stylus; operating systems, connectivity etc); looks at the theory and practice of information architecture; discusses and shows how prototyping and usability testing are done. Each chapter in this book is intended to be standalone allowing the reader flexibility. The appendices contain a case study of work done with SPRINT phone.
