Notes
- actually while I was working at PalmSource we came to work on a "ROME" UI Project.
In that project these notion where present , at that time the web was not yet possible on phone device, the iPhone was not yet out . And Intel was still doing ARM processors (!)
- it was question of device screen size, screen pixels density, quantity of information that can be efficiently visible on a screen
and to design application according to the quantities of information it could present to user depending on these factor.
- image size, font size, screen size, and pixels density where essential
- but also the way one could interact with these screens: at that time finger touch was not yet the rules (remember iPhone was not yet out !)
and there was a stylus, we were thinking to fingers, and there was a 5-way navigation( based on using hard keys (up/down/right/left arrows plus a center press and on hook , off hook , and menu buttons)
- At that time Palm Source was wanting to address PDA and Smartphone markets and we worked more on defining two version of the ROME UI:
* Rome XL for PDA and may be tablets (yes tablets !) * Rome for smartphones
