5 iPhone UI Design Tips

[lilly]

1. If your application needs to load another webpage, please use an in-line browser. Auto-firing Safari breaks the flow of your app.
2. If your application has anything to do with displaying news or links you need to provide the capability to e-mail it to a friend. Be viral.
3. If your application is related to navigation or maps, use Google Maps. We don’t have Microsoft or Yahoo maps on our phones, so don’t break the flow. Please.
4. Follow Apple convention and use the bottom toolbar for tabbing through screens. Nobody wants to see your crappy customized button anyways. It breaks the flow.
5. If your application uses photos, allow me to choose from my iPhone photo library or snap a picture in-line. That is just common sense.
