| Ajit Jaokar Founder, futuretext, London, UK "Invisible Touch: The Invisible Impacts of Apple's Touch Platform" The 'invisible' impact of the Touch Platform has transformed the ecosystem and has extended beyond touch(UI). Apple started with the customer experience and then worked backwards into the value chain i.e. content(including professionally generated content and user generated content), applications, device and network. Traditionally, these elements innovated within their own silos but the new apple ecosystem successfully managed to unify all these elements and create a new value chain. This transformation continues with the iPad. This keynote will discuss what these trends mean going forward. It will span the ecosystem from UI, apps, content, iPad, iPhone 4 etc. and discuss the wider issues and challenges beyond the platform and the implications for designers, developers and business. | ||

Gary Yentin, CEO, App-Promo! | #1: Integrating GPS Into Your Apps and Websites Successfully engaging your users while they are on the go means answering the question: What makes their location crucial to the feature they are trying to use? Armed with only latitude and longitude (and sometimes a compass), we'll use that information to create store locators, tag content with their location, help users find their way, display content of interest, and more! We'll also explore where to get alternate map data when Google Maps doesn't fit. Good for developers and non-developers alike.

| The Apple - Adobe fight over Flash on the iPhone has been making lots of news lately with the focus on the use of Flash in a browser. However, Flash can be used for a lot more than just viewing websites. Flash is a great tool for creating compelling and "eye-popping" user interfaces and graphics for many 2D/3D applications. In this session, we will discuss Apple's viewpoint on use of Flash on their platforms as well as the limitations of Adobe Flash. We will also demonstrate how to develop and implement Flash on the iPhone following Apple's licensing terms.

How has the iPad shifted the mobile user experience paradigm? What does this mean for the iPhone? How will mobile apps need to shift in order to become or remain successful? Although they share an OS, the interactions offered by the iPad and it's smaller siblings are very different. We will explore what these differences are, how they effect interaction, and why they demand distinct solutions that embrace and exploit the unique challenges, variations and opportunities between them in order to deliver enjoyable, satisfying and successful user experiences.
Over 1 million touch-based devices are being sold in the USA every week. If you're not already designing for touch-based devices, you will be. And your success depends on your understanding of the medium, your customers and the decisions you make early in the design process. Bodystorming helps designers understand use cases and scenarios, and prototype the problem space when designing for touch- and gesture-based devices. This session provides a history of touch and gestural interfaces, discusses fundamentals and ergonomics of designing for touch devices, and introduces participants to the hands-on bodystorming method of prototyping. | |
