comment Documented guidelines for one-handed mobile phone interfaces
I too am having a hard time find info on the subject, and disappointed the Apple's own guidelines are so lacking on the subject. The best solution I've found is to browse apps and try them, which is a time consuming process.

comment Why isn't the “remember me” checkbox in login forms enabled by default?
@webvitaly: sounds like what you want is "late authentication" where a user's session can be restored without prompting for a password (remember me). That user can use the website as the previous user, but the moment they attempt to perform a risky action (delete, edit, create) then their ID can be authenticated by prompting for a password. Example, you can log into a message board as yourself without being prompted, but the first time you try to post something it asks for your password, or when you try to read private messages. Maybe posting doesn't required it, but private messages do.

comment Does having different functionality for the same button on different screen cause a usability issue?
My understanding was that if it's a link A tag, and has a title attribute to hold the tooltip, then screenreaders would read the title. Further more, the designer can put a full description into the link, but hide content to show a background image for the X. This should also work for screenreaders. Correct me if I'm wrong? Cause this is often what I do.

"X" to me always means delete, and that the line it's associated with will be removed. Also, I expect any micro control like that to have a tooltip.
