DIY gotomobile’s mobile cam

Here are instructions for building your own mobile device testing device. It’s home grown, affordable but most of all it works beautifully. It is portable, light and easy to utilize for mobile-specific testing of mobile interaction.

gotomobile’s mobile cam provides a highly adaptable and easy to use platform to for imaging mobile devices during testing. It allows you to view and record the keypad and screen from the user’s perspective during a usability or other interface test - practically impossible in person without rubbing cheeks with the user!.

welcome to the future - nokia N93

Nokia does it again!

I was out in the garden yesterday, shooting a short sequence on video recording tips for the N70 and N90 for my free Smartphones Show. At the end of the piece, I remarked to camera that I had no doubt that DVD-quality recording on your smartphone was probably less than two years away.

I just got this tip from Kelly. Unfortunately it seems to be out of stock in the UK now and it’s not yet available in the US.

The book written by Carola Zwick, Burkhard Schmitz and Kerstin Kuhl covers the history as well as the most up to date devices and new communication techniques. The book gets into the nature of small screens from a UI and navigational perspective.
