Ending the year on a high - see you next year!

by rebecca on December 8, 2008


Tom Jenkins, Nokia, presenting on ‘A day in the life of service and UI design at Nokia Design’.

Wednesday, 3rd December was the inaugural event for Mobile Design UK. Presentations (from Nokia, Lastminute.com Labs, Trutap, and Flirtomatic) will be up on Slideshare soon (expect a followup blog post!), and we’re expecting the next mobile-design focused event to be in February.

If you didn’t manage to make last Wednesday, here are a few of the things you missed: Tom Jenkins, Nokia Design, gave some insights into Nokia’s working processes; Ali Driver of Trutap confessed an aversion to wireframes and Visio whilst talking about rapid prototyping in Flash Lite; Mathias Dahlstrom of Lastminute.com Labs discussed the challenges of internationalization in the mobile application ‘fonefood’, and Jaeseung Chang, Flirtomatic, discussed how it really is possible to do inhouse usability testing without a huge budget.

We’re extremely pleased with how it went: we had a diverse audience of around 25 people who had heard about the event by word of mouth and via the website, Upcoming and Yahoo! groups. Photos are on Flickr with the tag: mobiledesignuk.

Thanks to Flirtomatic for providing their office space along with the wine, drinks, and snacks! We’d also like to thank our excellent speakers for the presentations, along with everyone who showed up for their involvement.
