One thing I'm always telling form and CMS developers is that you should give options. Setting a default form field width might seem like a good idea, but what if your users are on a smaller screen or larger? By building pages and applications that let your readers choose how they want to view the site, you are respecting their choices rather than being dictatorial. Plus, this week I reviewed a fun color app for iPhones. And there must be something you like that happened in the 2000s.

In the Spotlight | Letting Your Readers Choose Will Not Go Amiss
Mobile devices are getting more and more prevelant this year. In fact, many people who didn't get an iPhone last year, will probably get one (or some other smartphone) this year. And the first thing that they'll notice when they go to many of their favorite Web pages is that they look different. Writing a Web page for mobile devices that has stripped down content and faster loading pages is a great idea. But giving no way to get to the full site is just annoying. Give your mobile readers choices and they'll stay your readers whether they're on their phone or their PC.
| | Great New Color App for iPhones
I had the opportunity to review the iPhone app Color Stream, and I'm very impressed. It does all that you expect from a color palette tool on the iPhone, and it's fun to use. I love that you can generate palettes from photos and then go online right in the tool to see other photos that use similar palettes. With just a few tweaks, this could be a really great iPhone color app.
