Playing around in Android’s PhoneGap with StreetSnaps, my street fashion photography app. Last time, we tried JQTouch. This time, I played with PhoneGap, using Android’s features.So far, you can (supposedly) access Android’s camera, view the photography available via neighborhoods (East Village, Brooklyn), email, and view the StreetSnaps Gallery (via JQTouch interface directly).

Since we’ve started studying developing web mobile apps in my Mobile Media class, I am increasingly reminded how design can lead to better implementation/functionality and vice versa. It’s way too easy to rush into programming and curse yourself at the half-way mark, saying, “If I’d sat down earlier and really thought about my application, I would never have designed it this way. ”  Too often at ITP, I feel like we’re in such a rush to program, we often forget to take some time to sketch, wireframe an idea, study the interaction to make sure its effective and clear before implementing. After doing some rough research on mobile app interfaces, I came across  Web Design Inspiration for the iPhone which shed some visual light on what works, etc. for this tiny screen platform.
