CSS Media Query for Mobile is Fool’s GoldAugust 3rd, 2010 by Jason Grigsby
Ethan Marcotte’s article Responsive Web Design has caught the imagination of webdevelopers. Several subsequent articles have touted the CSS media query feature asa way to build mobile-optimized web sites.
Even I’m guilty of contributing to this meme with my article on CSS orientation.
!e way in which CSS media queries have been promoted for mobile hides tough problems and gives developers a false promise of a simple solution for designing for multiple screens.

Reasons WhyNative is Easier
1. Native is Easier to Sell

HTML5 apps
Right now nobody’s interested in a mobile solution that does notcontain the words “iPhone” and “app” and that is not submitted toa closed environment where it competes with approximately 2,437similar mobile solutions.
Compared to the current crop of mobile clients and developers, lemmingsmarching off a cliff follow a solid, sensible strategy. Startling them out of thisobsession requires nothing short of a new buzzword.
Therefore I’d like to re-brand standards-based mobile websites andapplications, definitely including W3C Widgets, as “HTML5 apps.” Peopleoutside our little technical circle are already aware of the existence ofHTML5, and I don’t think it needs much of an effort to elevate it to fullbuzzwordiness.
Technically, HTML5 apps would encompass all websites as well as all themyriads of (usually locally installed) web-standards-based applicationsystems on mobile. The guiding principle would be to write and maintain onesingle core application that uses web standards, as well as a mechanism thatdeploys that core application across a wide range of platforms.
What are HTML5 apps?
HTML5 apps
1. have one single core application;
2. are written with web standards, primarily HTML, CSS, and JavaScript;
3. and are deployed on more than one mobile platform.

3. Native is Easier to Test
From the beginning, we have wanted to make Angry Birds available for every feasible Android device... We tested the game extensively on a large number of devices, and gathered all the feedback we received from our beta testing to address every possible issue.
So far, we have hesitated to create multiple versions of Angry Birds for the Android platform. But judging by the feedback we have received, we feel that by providing a lightweight solution, we are doing a favour for our fans.

Smartphone Browser Landscapeby P E T E R - P A U L K O C H

Users expect websites to work on their mobile phones. In two to three years, mobile support
will become standard for any site. Web developers must add mobile web development to their
skill set or risk losing clients.
How do you make websites mobile compatible? The answer is obvious: By testing them on all
mobile phones, and by solving the problems you encounter. But, that’s a useless answer. It’s
impossible to test your designs on every mobile phone out there. Within the mobile phone
landscape, there are at least ten operating systems (OSs) and fifteen browsers that require
consideration. Mobile devices are expensive, and not every web developer can afford to buy
five to ten of them. Testing “on all mobile phones” is impossible for most web developers.
In this article, I’ll give you an overview of the mobile web market, as well as phone platforms
and their browsers, so that you can decide which mobile devices to test on. Then, we’ll look at
how to set up a mobile test bed.

SnapshotMost web designers and
developers (not to
mention the entire
blogosphere) fall
squarely in the high-end
market. A cultural bias
exists against OSs aimed
at any other market. As
a result, most people
focus on the struggle
between iOS and
Android, and ignore the
rest. This has to change.

“Testing on as many devices as possible is a great idea in theory, but in practice it is untenable. Even if we buy a few devices to try to cover more ground, they will be outdated in just a few months or a year at most. So are we supposed to buy multiple devices per year?”posted at 11:32 am on December 14, 2010 by klayon

Yes, given more time, we would address some issues on the back-end to keep large images from downloading for mobile users in the "rst place, but our site is fairly lightweight to begin with, so it wasn’t really worth the time it would take to mess around with that stuff. We may revisit the issue in the future, however.
Also, just to play devil’s advocate, Jeremy Keith pointed out that it’s a bad assumption that mobile devices always have limited bandwidth and desktops always have plenty.
!at site took 53.8 seconds to download over WiFi on an iPhone 4.
17% will wait no longer than 5 seconds for a site to load

Topics: javascript mobile progressive enhancement usability
Responsive Web Design has been avery hot topic this year, inspiringdevelopers who long for a “one
codebase serves all” future. Butcritics of the technique have pointedout several issues that need to beaddressed before it can scaleperfectly from handheld to desktop— specifically, while HTML, CSSand JavaScript can be light enoughto share across all experiences, desktop-optimized images are often tooheavy for mobile connections, and mobile-optimized images are too lowquality for desktop viewers.
Recently, we began work on a large-scale responsive design(collaborating with the incredibly talented Mr. Ethan Marcotte, who
notably got this whole "responsive" party started), in which we've set outto address this shortcoming of responsive design with a technique thatrequests an appropriate image size for a given context without resortingto tactics like User Agent sniffing. We feel strongly that these responsivetechniques present a most practical way forward in web development.This post documents our in-progress experiment with "ResponsiveImages."
What is this all about?
The goal of this technique is to deliver optimized, contextual image sizes for responsive
