MINI YouTube Brand Channel. Design in Motion. 2009 - 2010.
Case Study Video von Knallgrau zu dem MINI YouTube Channel, der vom Launch im Januar 2009 bis März 2010 von Andreas Laszlo und mir betreut wurde.
Im Rahmen dieser Betreuung wurde das Design des Brand Channel laufend an aktuelle MINI Kampagnen angepasst und speziell für den Channel produzierte Videos konnten erfolgreich im Netz gestreut werden. Bereits nach 10 Monaten und 64 veröffentlichten Videos konnte so die 1. Mio VideoViews Marke durchbrochen werden. Bis zum Ende des Jahres konnten die VideoViews auf 1,6 Mio gesteigert werden.

Google Chrome for iPad. Interface Design Mockup and Wishlist.
Despite the App craziness I strongly believe in the ‘Browser’ as the killer feature for the future of mobile devices (iPhone, iPad, Android & Co). Apple did a wonderful job with Mobile-Safari to provide the first complete mobile browsing experience on a mobile device and clearly set the benchmark since then. Mobile-Safari for the iPad is good, but not yet great. There is clearly space for innovation and one of the most important features for the iPad/iPhone OS would be the option to choose between different browser.
It’s obvious that Chrome for iPad is not realistic right now due to Appstore policies and limitations in regard to custom Javascript engines that without Chrome doesn’t makes sense at all, but I really hope that Google, Mozilla and Opera keeps pushing Apple to open the iPad/iPhone OS for alternative browser as I write this.
Real Tab Browsing
‘Bringing back the old school Tab’! Tab Browsing on mobile Browser is mostly missing right now. Only Opera did a good job with Opera for iPhone and the iPad really needs a browser with real tab browsing. I know that there are technical limitations, for example the RAM, yet I would prefer four real browser tabs in the browser bar instead of nine Safari windows to choose from the menu.

It is clearly important to provide enough space for finger navigation between the tabs and buttons. The height of this ‘Chome for iPad’ bar is only 20px higher than on Safari.
Bookmarks
The current bookmark handling in Chrome for Mac/PC isn’t perfect from my point of view, though I really love the Chrome bookmark sync feature between different computers. On Mobile-Safari - the ’save bookmark on HomeScreen’ is a great feature, which opens the door for WebApps to compete with native apps. So for my perfect iPad browser I would love to see the synchronize feature between different devices, the option to save bookmarks within the browser or on the iPad homescreen and a rich experience in browsing through my bookmarks, which is another point of failure of the current Safari for iPad.
