How important is UI design. Well, if you are competing in the smartphone/tablet world it supersedes even the hardware configurations - something that Apple breaths to their core and other companies are starting to make advances in. What does it take to build something that is easy to use, functional and, well, pretty to look at? Enter Gabor Vida, President of , a boutique UI/UX company in Ottawa, Canada, with anything but boutique companies as their clients. Teknision was part of the team that built the UI on top of RIM's PlayBook tablet and the QNX operating system and in this session with Gabor we talk about the experience of working on such an important - some say seminal - piece of hardware as well as why UI is so important and how mobile application developers can and should be approaching this craft. If you are interested in how to make your products sing in the mobile world as well as some insight into RIM's PlayBook UI and the reasoning behind some of the decisions, this is a worthwhile listen/watch.
