- Screen size – Variations in size and limitations in resolution make content production and optimization more difficult than standardizing to 800x600 pixels.
- Bandwidth – Providers worldwide are crunching regional data usage to conserve bandwidth. Mobile content must be “light” enough to guarantee universal availability and support.
- Interface – Users interact with your content without a mouse or standard keyboard. Your content and structure should reflect it and anticipate their needs.
