Yesterday I mentioned TextOnPhone, an eBook web app for the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch. Here’s an eleven-minute walkthrough to give you an idea of what it offers. I specifically did this demo in a “worst-case” scenario by using EDGE, i.e.; I shut my WiFi radio off on the iPhone. You can see the performance of the experience, which overall, I think is very good. The application wisely caches ahead a number of pages so that you really don’t need to wait for pages to load. There are some basic user customization settings and some excellent eBook reading lists and I’m very impressed that the app remembers where you left off in a book. Overall, I was pretty impressed in the short time I’ve used TextOnPhone.

You did a really great job of illustrating the application’s experience in this video. You even clicked on all the things that I was thinking “Oh what’s that?” as you were working through the screens. I’m definitely checking this app out now!
BTW, it’s common for editors and people who work with print (or even web) typesetting to use some boilerplate Latin text to demonstrate the way a font looks or the appearance of a type style. It’s just really neutral.

I’ve just begun learning textonphone, and I found this video very useful. Some “How To” videos are just too slick for their own (our our own) good: they move along too fast and remove too many bumps along the way to give a real sense of the real user experience of the program. Nice job KevinCTofel!
