A collection of books and white papers on the topic of mobile usability. Due to the subject matter, expect quite a bit of overlap with our large archive of design resources and the growing collection of mobile gaming resources.
- General Usability Tips a very broad list by Forum Nokia covering everything from colour use to porting but with the aim of improving overall usability.
- Top 10 Usability Guidelines for Enterprise Applications: A very simple, 1 page checklist from Forum Nokia that could be useful for the design of most mobile applications.
- Usability Culturally Speaking: A short white paper by Forum Nokia on cultural considerations when designing for mobile devices.
- Handheld Usability by Scott Weiss. Nice little book featuring extensive guidance on conducting usability tests using both paper prototypes and prototype applications. Also includes a good overall introduction to the topic of usability and design for mobile devices.
- Mobile Usability: How Nokia Changed the Face of the Mobile Phone by Christian Lindholm, Turkka Keinonen, Harri Kiljander. A classic!
- Design Sketch: The Context of Mobile Interaction: a brief white paper outlining mobile design heuristics.
