Abstract
As cell phones have adapted to becoming personalized computers, the functionality of these two different devices has converged. Conversely, the way people interact with these two platforms is vastly different. With much less space, different controls, and lower specifications, mobile interface design looks and feels significantly different than that of desktop devices. This paper aims to analyze what makes UI design for desktop applications different from mobile devices and how developers can ease this transition when porting from one device to another. The results of a survey found that computing power was a large factor in which device users chose for a particular task, while screen size was not quite as important. Through identifying differences in these applications and suggesting solutions, the awkward transition from bulky, powerful devices to the small screens of everyday mobile devices can be alleviated.
