Adobe Adds iPhone Optimizing Tool

By Dianna Dilworth 

Adobe has upgraded its digital publishing toolkit to include  a content viewer for iPhone, as well as social sharing features.

This means that publishers can use the software to make apps that are optimized for the iPhone and iPod Touch devices. (The tool already works for publishers developing content on the iPad, Kindle Fire and Android tablets).

The Adobe blog has some tips for how to make content for the iPhone versus the iPad. Here is one thing to keep in mind: “The smaller screen on iPhone is going to strongly influence how developers design navigation and interactivity on these devices. Consider how people hold the iPhone: typically in one hand, and they frequently use a thumb to interact with content. Likewise, consider how people hold their phone for reading: I think a vertical orientation will prove to be a more popular orientation for these devices. So this leads to a couple of ideas for how to design both your publication for iPhone and where interactivity is found.”
