review 1: Given that this is the *only* book that I've read on mobile design, I was still really really impressed. This books keeps it super simple: it covers the mobile design space - i.e., what you can and cannot/should not control; the best practices surrounding the designs; and, how really smart people have done it before. The use of case studies, and the break down of each chapter is really clean. And, let me not skimp on the great use of graphics to explain. The book is beautiful and the writing is easy to follow. While not explicitly a UX book (it doesn't really get under the covers of how to step through the design process), I think this would be a great book for anyone doing mobile design.

... moree a single bit of code in it (which is a good thing). This book is completely focused on making good design and interface choices when building your iPhone apps. As a developer with very little design skill, I can't recommend this book enough. It takes a practical approach to design that makes it easy to understand design principles and why you need to make certain choices in your app design. Every iOS developer should read this book! less
