Oh, that's good news.

Looks like V's compression efforts are paying off if nothing else.

I had a tinker with iuix.js this evening and actually find that 20 isn't far off.  I was trying to compare it to the native app transitions but the browser is so affected by things like the weight of the pages being transitioned that it just won't be consistent. The fact that the browser could be displaying the content in either landscape or portrait when transitioning is another factor.  In the end I settled on 17 but that's just cause I got distracted by email, my ftp connection dropped and I didn't feel like setting it back ;-)

Fair enough. That does help, thanks.
I won't commit the tweak to the codebase [for now], but it's good to know.
I'll have fairly regular access to an iPod Touch at work soon, and I'll play with it some more to see if there's something we can do (lighten up things, etc).
I'm not against the idea of rewriting the sliding effect and contributing it back, but knowing Joe Hewitt's work, I doubt I can improve his code that much. It's a nice little lib, and development on it was picked up by the iPhoneWebdev group, so it'll be maintained.

There is one bit of consistent ugliness... When transitioning to a heavier (lot of content) page the content of the new page will briefly render above the current page just prior to the transition begins. I tried to get a screengrab but it's impossible to get the timing right.

Yeah, that's something I've noticed but unfortunately, it's difficult to address since the roots of the issue are indeed the hardware speed, the way the transition is done in the overall iUI architecture, and the size of the page (which is kinda dictated by the WP receiving script requirements).

One way to cope with it would be to lighten the load on the large form, such as the post one (especially if there are a lot of categories) by offsetting the show/hide panels (categories + advanced) to one or more slides.

We had originally opted out of this to increase the screens productivity (ie: time spend sliding, as fun as it is), and I'm not sure we can fit that in for the upcoming 1.3 (b4 Oct 22nd), but definitely on the list of things to try.

Stephane, re http://forum.wphoneplugin.org/viewtopic.php?pid=37#p37  - I took some screenshots:

Oh kick [bleep], thx. Just to confirm, do you mind if we use them in the screenshot gallery?
We'll give ya credits. No good deed shall go unpunished.

Cheers

And double cheers to you.

Thx, we'll bundle them with 1.3.

We have a few new treats in the dev branch, in preparation for the upcoming 1.3 release.

If you had checked out the dev branch before, just svn update, and let us know what you think.

- Quick links in "Go..." panel: added quick links to the main features directly from the hide/show panel for easier global navigation.
- User search: Added a search form to and tweaked the output of the search listing screen.
- Added display preferences select list in the appropriate user/profile edit forms.
- Styles and xhtml improvements for the lite version.
- etc

I'm seeing an extra wide Search button on the new user search page:

Cool, you couldn't have chimed in at a better time. :)
Gonna go fix that and will commit later tonight.

Latest Activity > Latest Comments are all (incorrectly) being displayed as from the same user. For a minute there I thought my WP update had gone badly but this seems to only be manifesting in the plugin view.

Ah, we've had that before. Most likely an easy fix.
I'll assume you're under 2.3 since you mentioned having updated.

Thanks Andrew, and enjoy that brew.

Comments fixed on SVN. Was showing the right comment, but the wrong comment author name for some reason. Odd.

I'm just posting to confirm that the issues from this post are fixed:

Thanks gents!

If someone can give us some updated screenshots from the 1.3 release (being released as we speak), I'll make a 1.3.1 release by bundling them (and whatever tweaks we might make right away).

I'm much too late but if ya still some screenshots of the most recent version let me know.

Good luck with the plugin contest.

Cheers,
A.

Plus, we've got Santa on our side.

Thanks Andrew.

That's it, now I most definitely need to get you a pint sometimes. :-)
