I decided to wait until someone reported a problem before I posted them again - demand-driven development :) I'll post them again shortly (the process is fiddly to put them where the location matches the original links).

UX on mobile is so enormously important. Users have 30-60 seconds to do something, each screen they might spend 2-5 seconds deciding what they have to do, but that's it. The PDF does not seem to focus on mobile, is that correct? @Dirk, Correct this work doesn't focus on Mobile. You can find some of my work on mobile phone apps at places like http://code.google.com/p/mwta/downloads/list I have also contributed to the Don't Panic Mobile Developer's Guide to the Galaxy, available online at http://www.enough.de and other places. awesome stuff.

It is important that Automation Testing Services should be wisely used. Great, thank you for sharing this post.
