I’m a bay area designer and web developer. I used to be creative director at Sencha and also made jQTouch a couple years ago.

New pull-to-refresh in iOS 6 Mail looks fantastic.

Rethinking the iPhone’s App Switcher
While I don’t think this is the answer, I really hope these components get a redesign in iOS6.
Continuing to think about Opera and Mobile, I wrote another thing about market breakdown, Opera Mini, and the value of tailoring to WebKit.
Teehan+Lax have, at long last, released their Retina-ready iPad GUI PSD. Longtime readers will know that I normally post whenever Teehan+Lax release one of their Photoshop-based mobile UI sets, but this one is different: With the overall resolution in the new iPad, and some of the newer elements in iOS 5.1, the scale of this project was immense (as anyone following Geoff on Twitter already knows). It’s also quite interesting that the file was made in and requires the Photoshop CS6 beta:
It’s a free download right now and, in my humble opinion, one of the best releases of Photoshop to date. Its perfect pixel snapping, grouped layer styles and a few other features enabled us to create the assets with more accuracy, yet remain remarkably editable.
You’ll have to download the PSD to see all of the detail and labor that must have gone into making it. Congrats to the team!
Geometric Porn
An interesting experiment with geometric eroticism, made as an iPhone app, but sadly rejected by the App Store. As consolation, you can pick up any of these t-shirts for € 32.87.
Sencha Touch 2.0 — Built for Amazing Apps
Today we’re proud to announce the release of Sencha Touch 2.0. With a huge focus on performance, simplified API, and native packaging on both Mac and Windows, we’re certain it will change the way you think about mobile apps.
I am honored to work with the team that created Sencha Touch 2. It is, without a doubt, the richest, smoothest, and easiest way to write HTML5 apps for iOS, Android, and Blackberry.
Glyphish have released a series of textured backgrounds for iOS. Only $10, and they include every size you need (including retina) and source PSDs.
