The SD2IG meeting we talked about Smart Device UX. Our goal was to look at the designer developer work flow on mobile devices but clearly on the iphone it kind of sucks right now...

Devin and Matt, I must say the iUI kit that Matt used does give a good story for designers building HTML apps. But really apps on the iphone Devin showed us that this is very very difficult.
