The biggest advantage of ebooks over printed ones is – of course – that there are no more fixed pages. Every device can decide how it wants to display the content. With digital books it is possible to have the same excellent user experience on a small smartphone screen as well as on a huge desktop monitor.
But with all these advantages there also come challenges. One is positioning inside the book. So what to do, when you want to save the user’s current reading position, so that he can continue on the same “page” when he comes back? Since the user can read the text on different devices with different screen resolutions and different text settings (e.g. font size settings) you can not simply save “Page 36″.

With the never webkit builds on iOS5 and Android ICS finally overflow:scroll works as expected. On iOS you also have the “native” scroll bounce, which is huge IMHO (with bounce I mean the ease when the scrolled viewport reaches the top/end). The app finally feels native, a big step for web apps.

I finally had the time to write something about the facebook-actionscript-api we used in one of our last projects. It’s a very interesting API when you want to add Facebook support (user management) to your site/project. There are different things you can do with this API: i.e. access user information, post on the user’s wall, get user’s photos and much much more.

Update October: As you can see from the comments this solution does work for most users with iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch. Please leave a comment, which App causes the slow backup.
Since months I searched for a solution to fix the slow iPhone sync without restoring my iPhone or having to reinstall all my Apps. Finally I found a surprisingly easy solution, covert and buried in an Apple support forum thread. So I decided to write this down here, also to better remember how to fix it the next time… ;)

Keith Peters was right, when he said, that Flash has a lack of UI component frameworks. The Flex components has a quasi monopoly on that. Besides his minimal components there is another alternative: AsWing.
Last year Neue Digitale / Razorfish gave me the chance to dive into AsWing. The task was to build a form manager that can not only run in Flex projects but also in straight AS3 projects where no flex runtime is available.
