Drag and drop support in WebKit/HTML5/PhoneGap on iOS/Android mobile devices

without comments

I just thought I will share some of my findings around drag and drop support in WebKit, HTML5 and PhoneGap apps running on iOS and Android devices.

To make the story short drag and drop is NOT support out of the box in the current versions of WebKit that run on iOS or Android devices although you can simulate it using mousedown, mousemove and mouseup events.

When I clean the code a bit you can expect and update to this post ;)

Cooklet – the most innovative cooking app built with Adobe AIR

with 2 comments

With the holiday season just around the corner you may be wondering what and how you are going to cook (or maybe your mom or wife does ;) ). Well here comes help: a really great looking and innovative app called Cooklet for tablets  (of course built with Adobe AIR). This app is a great addition to the Cooklet.com portal.

My favorite feature is the way you can navigate between the steps of the recipe. It is actually controlled via a front-facing camera and your hand gestures; this way your precious tab can stay clean ;) Another great thing is that the cooking steps are actually read for you so you can keep your tab at a safe distance from your stove. Also the steps’ text is presented with a much larger font so again it can be read from further away. The Cooklet team did really amazing job on the UI and UX of the app!

So go ahead and download it from Android Market or BlackBerry App World (hopefully the iPad version will come soon). You can also check it out in action in the video below.
