Kelly wrote a great piece on mobile design. What I like is that she also speaks to the idea that the designer and developer need to work together. You just can’t contract some web-head to design for you mobile service. You need to have the designer ’embedded’ with the developer.
I’ve seen this in practice and am addicted to it. I will always want the designer with the product folks. Makes sense to me. Eh. Must be one of my blind spots, since few companies build things this way.

Mobile designers are the bridge between the end user and the engineering community. Unlike the web or mainstream design world, mobile designers cannot be simply visually or brand-oriented.
