Android UI guidelines

[Jacob Farber]

Yes, we've discussed these - they're disappointingly sparse.
On the plus side, im reading up on the android simulator you mentioned, and I hope that can shed some light on all the missing gaps in the docs.

Subject: Android UI guidelines

Hey all,

We've been referring to Apple's iPhone Human Interface Guidelines  
pretty regularly as we design the iPhone theme for the mobile Fluid  
Skinning System. Looking towards support for other platforms, I did a  
bit of Googling for similar guidelines on other platforms.

Here's a link to the Android UI guidelines. They're not as  
comprehensive as we might like, but they're a start:

In case you're curious, here are the guidelines offered by RIM for  
Blackberry devices:

Still trying to dig up a similar document for recent Symbian-based  
phones.

Hope this helps,

Colin
