Great article! I have been looking for a way to make utilizing storyboarding type interactive diagrams in Visio easier. At times I found it just as easy to do motion tests in Flash. It would be good if there were more options for outputing in Visio.

I have a white paper that has been presented at several conferences in 2005 called “The Psychology of Small Sreen Game Design” which deals with mobile phones as well as GBA and Palm type devices. I’ve been thinking of submitting an article here on just the Psychology of the Small Screen part with emphesis in data intensive applications. This would go beyond WAP and will deal with graphics issues and some new concepts. I am interested immensely in the Designing for Mobile Experience article and look forward to seeing it.

I think this article could be very interesting. This is just a spark, can you give a little more information on how you think this type of interaction can be used and how it improves the user experience? Does it connect to social networks and access of prime content?

Yes, would like to see this article.

I have been interested in ‘processing’ as a prototyping tool. It seems that Adobe has pretty much dropped ‘Director’ and Flash is becomming less of a prototyping tool with each new iteration. This leaves an open gap to fill, but from the example ‘scripts’ I have seen for ‘processing’ I am not sure if this is going to be as quick a prototyping tool for designers as expected. I a especially interested in the mobile version of processing.
