   Playing with ideas for a mobile UI for the University of Leeds' Coursefinder, trying not to make it *too* iPhone like as it should be perceivable on all mobile platforms.

   It's a peculiar problem isn't it? I wonder if android users get annoyed by iphone graphics in their apps.

   I'm hoping the benefits of the Apple-like consistency will out-weigh the disadvantage of having an Apple-like UI on a non-Apple platform

   Storyboarding the UI

   by Paul Stanton

   Working my sketches up into high-fidelity storyboards, which demonstrate the various screen layouts based on user interaction. It's still looking very iPhone-like, especially with that top bar so I might end up tweaking that a little as not to alienate $insertOtherMobileOS users

   Good of you Paul to try and define an independent interface.
   Android has no consistency of its own and it doesn't even enforce it among its developers. They even approve apps with iPhone-style icons (rounded corners). What else do they expect?
   On the other hand designers should stop being "inspired" by Apple. Pixels are more flexible than that.

   I like how simple your wireframe templates are. What did you use to set that up? Omnigraffle? Your own?
