I did some searching around, and the amount of quality discussion on developing good user experiences for devices is surprisingly low. The bulk of the discussion seems to hover around utilizing web standards so that your site can be viewed in mobile browsers.
I agree.
There’s a dearth of sites dedicated to discussing interaction design, information architecture, visual design and user centred design methods for the desktop platform (i.e. web and GUI). But there’s very little for small technology.
Small Surfaces will track and foster discussion of design about small devices. These aren’t just the things you carry in your pocket (such as mobile phones, handheld computers), but all the other everyday small technology we use: alarm clocks, remote controls, wristwatches: things with small surfaces.
