Prepared this presentation in 30 min and held itwith http://marko.tosic.net. The Idea was to create a conversation about UX and Android due to the lack of really good UI on the Android Phones.

1. Android Market
• Android just overtook iPhones in Sales
• Devices coming out at 100 €
• 2013 More Smartphones then Desktop Computer
• No Review / Immediate Market Release
• Apps are growing fast (over 60.000)
• 10.000 Apps in March 2010
• Android is getting into more and more Devices
• SonyErricson, Alcatel, Dell, LG, HTC, WePad, Acer,
HUAWEI, Samsung,…

7. Problems
• Many Java Developers
• Comming from a very technical background
• Just a few designers there
• Guidelines of Google are not very restricted

• No Review Process, Anything is published
• Many different UIs depending on vendor
For Example, HTC, Samsung, SonyErricson,…

8. How to get UX to the Android
Community?
• Guidelines of Google are not very restricted
http://developer.android.com/guide/practices/ui_guidelines/index.html
• Talk in your companies how big Android will be
• Teach people about good UX for Android to raise the
UX awareness
Ideas could be:
• Having a blog with reviews for good and bad UI
