Hi Alex, The new beta of Axure (6.5) gets pretty close:
• It's not that simple, but after a initial ramp-up, basic clickable demos are easy to make. There are pretty good widget libraries for iPhone and Android which speeds things up. The upside is that you will also get swipe gestures if you want them, scrollable lists, fixed position headers or footers, and some other neat stuff you won't find elsewhere. • Output is html/css only so will work on both platforms, but: • Browser required for viewing. I don't know if it's possible to offload the files onto a SDD card and view locally for Android. Looks like some people are trying Dropbox and Goodreader with varying success for offline viewing • App chrome can be hidden, but you have to "Add to Home Page" first. ( http://forum.axure.com/mobile-prototyping/5162-about-hide-address-bar-remove-browser-nav-mobile-6-5-a.html ) • Updating would be done by overwriting the files - I don't know if the "add to Home page" step above will work without an additional step or not • PC/Mac versions available • ability to set icon (iOS only) Browse these forums for more info: http://forum.axure.com/mobile-prototyping/ Check out this one for some mobile prototyping examples: http://forum.axure.com/6-5-beta-examples/ * * Hope that helps! -tori ------------------------------------------------- Tori Breitling | User Experience [email protected] http://www.toribreitling.com 512.589.2745 twitter: tori On Mon, Apr 9, 2012 at 5:47 PM, Alex <[email protected]> wrote: > Howdy all, we're working on some sales tools for mobile apps and while > there are a lot of prototyping options out there, I haven't quite found > what I'm looking for.
