I disagree, I'd say most GUI elements should use native elements. The only exception I would say is character dialogs. Although you could probably skin some native UI elements to look just as nice. Even for simple things like information messages, game settings, top scores, equipment, etc I'd

Recently I've had people from various countries emailing me to say that my app is showing as not available in their country. My app is free and I was under the impression that free apps are available anywhere. I'm curious if there's anything more I can do to assist people in getting my apps

Quite a sensationalist headline for having reviewed one app, in my opinion. I've found a number of apps that are far better than the CNN app. I've built a few apps for Honeycomb and have really enjoyed the experience of being able to think differently than I would in a traditional phone app.

If you need an on-screen keyboard, then presumably you're entering text? Which is the case I said you need the native UI for. :) Tim On 6/7/2011 12:16 AM, Miguel Morales wrote: I disagree, I'd say most GUI elements should use native elements. The only exception I would say is character

No, that's just one of the cases (the most obvious one) others are simply equipment selection screens, team mates screen, etc. Where you have a decent amount of UI interaction, mainly lists, images, buttons, and labels. On Tue, Jun 7, 2011 at 8:50 AM, Tim Mensch tim.men...@gmail.com wrote: If

The Xoom is a nice first pass, but wait until you get a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (or similar). The Ipad2 form factor (which the Tab 10.1 imitates and surpasses) is very compelling. The Xoom seems heavy and washed out (visually) by comparison. All successful tablets will have to be at the Ipad2 /

It is because the standard buttons (Home, Back, Search, and Menu) are on the bottom of the screen. On many phones these are soft, meaning not hardware. It is bad practice to put anything else there you have to push. You don't want your user trying to select a different tab in your app, and
