blogs.developerforce.com
on 05/17/2013
Excerpt: Back in February, I blogged about how web applications can use OAuth to obtain a token and access the Force. com API on behalf of Portal users; I’ve had a couple of questions on how to build mobile apps that do the same, so here are the details. I’m going to assume that you’ve set up a portal , its associated Force. com Site , written a custom login page and its controller in Visualforce and Apex , and set it as the ‘Authorization Required Page’ for the Site ( here’s a step-by-step tutorial I wrote on the topic last year that will walk you through the details).

Surprise: Yahoo’s mobile push is working better than you think
gigaom.feedsportal.com
on 05/17/2013
Excerpt: Summary: … according to new statistics from Onavo, which tracks actual use of mobile apps and games by “millions” of iOS users. Don’t look now but it looks like Yahoo’s mobile apps push is bearing fruit, at least according to new data from Onavo. Case in point: Yahoo Weather, which rolled out recently, already has what Onavo CEO Guy Rosen calls an “unprecedented” 3 percent market share among U. S. iPhone owners. That’s about 1. 5 million users total which makes it the 91st most popular iPhone app three weeks after release, according to Onavo Insights data. That’s very good for a new app, Rosen said in an interview. Other Yahoo mobile apps including Yahoo Messenger and the Yahoo app are also doing well.... read the full post.

developer.amazon.com
on 05/16/2013

on 05/15/2013
Excerpt: With those simple words, great soul and jazz poet Gil Scott-Heron reminded us that things are changing and changing fast. As he once explained, “That song was about your mind. You have to change your mind before you change the way you live and the way you move…The thing that’s going to change people will be something that no one will ever be able to capture on film. It will just be something you see and all of a sudden you realize ‘I’m on the wrong page. ’”
Those who are successful in business today never find themselves on the wrong page. They reject the status quo and seek perfection. Mobile is taking over and leaving those who ignore it to rue the day they said no to BYOD. In my days at Salesforce.... read the full post.

A few questions and answers about “mobile web” and sites vs. apps
christianheilmann.com
on 05/14/2013
Excerpt: Wednesday, May 15th, 2013 at 12:00 am I just got asked to provide a few answers for a survey amongst “mobile web experts” and thought it’d be good to re-use those here. So here goes:
What is the difference between a web site and a web application? There are a few differences. On a very basic level applications are catered for doing things whereas web sites are more catered for offering content for consumption. Web sites started as structured, interlinked academical documents. Later on we added multimedia content to make them much more engaging but all in all they are fixed in their state.

on 05/10/2013
Excerpt: When making an app, following your platform’s design guidelines is a tried-and-true way to increase metrics like user retention and customer satisfaction. It makes it easier for your users to learn how to use the application to the fullest extent, as quickly and intuitively as possible. In order to make designing for your target platforms easier, we made a cheat sheet for both iOS and Android Human Interface Guidelines (HIGs). It gives a high level summary of the User Interface, how to support multiple screen sizes, icon sizes, and touch gestures so that you don’t have to dig through the books to find them every time you need them. It also allows you to see the subtle differences between the platforms.... read the full post.
