Download a preview of Mobile Web Design
~ 21 August 2007 ~
One week from today Mobile Web Design will be available for purchase. I’ve sent preview copies (full version) to +20 luminaries in the web and mobile industries, and so far the feedback has been genuinely positive. (Whew!)
Now it’s your turn to preview the book:
- Preview Snippets (PDF, 4.2 MB)
August 28 will welcome a new site design, online ordering (PDF version), iPhone and other giveaways, and more. Counting down the days: 7, 6, 5…

Veer: Visual Elements for Creatives.Stock photography, type, and killer tees. Genuinely recommended by Authentic Boredom.
Nice!! I’m gonna download the TOC and Preview Snippets files for now.
BTW, is the Mobile Web Design website down at the moment or it’ll go live after a week? I tried to access it but the site is taking too long to respond.
Yeah, I think the site’s dead right now :(
Hmm.. unable to download the files. :(
Awesome! Yet, as gik said: site down unfortunately.
Hope you can get it back up soon, eager to see the Preview Snippet as the screenshot has an extreme droool-level ;)
Pretty sure the book has the same quality, both content-wise as layout-wise :)
I wish I could say it’s because a billion people are hitting the site right now, but regrettably it’s an issue Media Temple (host) has been having this morning across the board, not just my sites. We thought they had resolved it and pushed the go-live button, but apparently the issue has resurfaced. We’re on top of it but unfortunately at the mercy of Media Temple right now.
Yep, it is…but the preview screenshot is very pretty :).
Heh, fixed by now. That was fast! :)
Looking forward to this.
Looking forward to the book, especially since I haven’t had any exposure to this area of design yet. Question though, how much will it cost? (just looking for a ball park figure - assuming the normal $30ish). I didn’t notice any info on that.
Thanks
Ah, Media Temple. Yet another reason why I cancelled my DV plan with them a few months ago. For $500 a year I expect solid uptime and responsive support, neither of which they were providing.
I find the mobile design business quite interesting to get myself into it. It’s growth capabilities are pretty high, specially in my country, a south american “emerging” country.
Looking forward to buy/download.
Looking forward to it Cameron; I’ll be getting one! Was just playing with some handheld stylesheets today and realized I need to know more about what is actually happening, asides from the opera small screen rendering. I can get it looking nice enough there, but really don’t have a clue how that ports across different mobiles etc!
Read the snippets yesterday. Awesome! Can’t wait to read it all! I am pretty sure I will jump off the fence afterwards. Thanks,Cameron.

Wow, the book site looks great! can’t wait to see the whole thing.
1 : How much will it be priced ?
2 : I did copy the image http://www.cameronmoll.com/img/pics/mobilebook.jpg findable at http://www.cameronmoll.com/archives/001304.html and used it in a post about the release of this book.
Do you mind ?
If so, i’ll edit the post and remove this picture.
What payments forms will be acceptable? Visa international credit card? Paypal? Tell us to be prepared! And I hope that Paypal is one option… Right?
Tybho - Not a problem.
Henrique - Credit cards + Paypal.
Looking good, can’t wait for the 28th!
Very nice!
Looking forward to both the full version and the site update.
Just finished the snippets on the ride home yesterday. Nicely done. Looking forward to the full book.
Congratulations! It is beautiful.
Can’t wait for the book. I have a newfound interest in this since I purchased my Nokia N73, and began using both the Nokia browser and Opera Mini.
If it’s as quality as your design work is,, we should have something great in our hands (or on our screens).
Sounds good, a few more days left!
I can hardly contain my anticipation! :)
Well, it’s 06:54 (28 august) here in Sweden and I’m waiting ;-)
Waiting, too ! In France, it is already 8:55.
I don’t know where you live, maybe in the USA, where the is not yet risen, because of the time difference.

I don’t know why but at first I thought you were living in Australai, I guess I confuse you with Russ Weakley ( maxdesign.com.au ).
I believe Cameron is about -7 hours GMT (2am).
Well Cameron, i guess we are all waiting, maybe its better to give ordering to Amazon…
Im also writing about your boo kat my websites… www.xhtml.gr i will implement a new template website for mobile users that needs information for travel…
I think is the book of the year…

Downloading as I type. Thanks Cameron.
Downloading the book right now, thanks in advance for your great work Cameron. Keep on visiting Switzerland ;-)
In Safari both the ‘Purchase Book’ and the ‘preview sample’ link to the right are broken; the cursor doesn’t change when you hover over and nothing happens when you click.
Seems to be working fine for me? (Safari 3.0.3)
On safari 2.0.4 your images are transparent but over the purchase button… can’t click it…
here’s a screenshot when i drag the mouse :
