The What's Next Episode

Despite ducks quacking and impending flight to Australia, Brian (pinchzoom.com/​fling) and Chez (pinchzoom.com/​chezza) shot our fourth episode discussing what's next—how mobile is changing everything.

First up, everyone is searching for answers, including at events like CTIA, SXSW and WWDC. But are the answers at these events? Is there something bigger happening that Web 2.0 or the dot-com boom before it?

We also talk about the concepts behind responsive web design and how it differs from mobile design. Is this good or bad and what do people need to pay attention to?

Chez tells a very heartfelt story of Twitter and the Japan Earthquake and how mobile technology can help us save lives.

We revisit Twitter's dickbar fiasco one more time. While the dickbar might be gone, it still lives in infamy. Brian shares a quote from mobile developer Marco Arment that explains why.

Brian talks about Mobile Intellectual Property (IP) and a recent issue pinch/zoom (pinchzoom.com) had our client portfolio. He explains how mobile projects differ from web projects in terms of protection.

And finally Brian shares that his book is available online in its entirety for free at mobiledesign.org
