Anybody have any recommendations on pagination with a mobile device (specifically iphone and blackberry). Our mobile app requires that the user be able to navigate through up to 50 different pages. On a web app, we would probably use something with pagination or a drop-down where the user could pick from pages 1 through 50. In the mobile environment this seems clunky...the user however would need to be able to get to page 49 as quickly as page 2. Any suggestions would be very helpful. best s |

I suggest you pick an attribute about the pages more significant than the page number to organise and navigate through the set. Page numbers can be pretty arbitrary ... however if the user knows they would want go straight to "page 49" then just let them type it in! However if that's not the case then re-evaluate why you have a page system; though that's more an IA thing. As Kostya said, detail would be good. |

Try endless / buffered scrolling. The app stores is like this. One big long list. Dont forget search/filtering. |

great - so the user is actually selecting recipients to send an email to. The issue is that the list of people to choose from could be 2000 to 10,000 large. Ideally, the endless scrolling would be used but my concern is that the app would be too slow (so if we load, let's say 50 to 100 per page), then the could alleviate the speed issue but makes navigation harder. |
