for mobile web, use these native app guidelines as an indication of what not to include in your design. don’t dress your web app up like it is a native app. it will just irritate your users. instead follow a convention that does not look or feel like any OS.

Hi, for mobile web apps, I have combinations of different screen resolutions with different densities I want to fix the image size for buttons for those combinations. Can anyone help?

This is a great resource! Thank you. At the end of your list, you ask for readers to let you know, via the comments, of any other resources. I don’t have those, but I did want to let you know that BlackBerry must have taken down the Guidelines 4.x and 5.x, as I received a 404 error when I tried both the web link and the PDF link. I think the info now resides in the 6.0 version of the document, which you already have identified in the preceding item in your list.
Thank you again! This is a GREAT resource.

What should a UX style guide contain?…

I believe that you are confusing the concepts of User Experience with User Interface. UX has a wider concept and “style” may not be the central issue. An UX guide is more related to best practices in designing experiences or interactions – such as us…

What is a better user experience for a mobile phone game?
A. Hit the game play button,see a ‘how to play’ screen with a ‘no don’t show again’ button before being allowed to play the game.

B. Have a ‘help/how to play’ button on the main menu. But do not present this information unless a user actually clicks to read the how to play info.
thanks in advance.

James, you are right. Many of these guidelines are for native apps and there is no official guidelines for many platforms.

However, these are just UI guidelines. Even most native applications don’t implement them. They are just an idea of what the user should expect from UI interaction on each device. And that is helpful also for webapps/web UI design.

For example, I’m seeing a lot of webapps for Android implementing the top-left back button (like in iOS) without capturing the Android Back button at least to provide the same functionality. The UI designer must know these diferences between devices and what users should expect. Ok, you can not capture back button from Android Browser, but you can emulate it using hashs in the URL ;) Most UI patterns are being emulated by UI frameworks, like Sencha or jQuery Mobile on compatible devices.

Thanks!
