How does iLearnPad fare when called from a selection of popular mobile browsers?


Here are the results for Windows Phone 7 (emulator), Android (emulator) and iPod touch (Safari desktop browser) linking to published internet version http://home.versanet.de/~k-ryan/iLPShell.html. Keep in  mind that the Safari version is the standard to which the others will be compared:

Windows Phone 7 (SDK 7.1 emulator):

Conclusion: Doesn't work - menu links don't work, therefore no selected picture with sound to play with :-( Footer is repeated at the base :-( Menu pictures have an unwanted blue border :-(

Android (AVD Manager v 4.1 emulator):
Conclusion: Works well :-) Menu links work with menu selection highlight in green as expected. Selected picture has sound :-) albeit a little slow. "Slide" transition from menu to selected picture and "flip" transition from footer "Magnifying Glass" button back to menu not so noticeable :-(
 
iPod touch (simulated with Safari Desktop Browser):
Conclusion: This is the "Rolls-Royce" version as it was built for the Safari browser and therefore the iPod Touch. All works well - menu list with green flash selection and "slide" transition to selected picture. Responsive sound on picture clicks. "Flip" transition back to menu.   

Overall Conclusion: We can safely say that the iLearnPad web app is not cross browser ready. Android fairs quire well but lacks transitions and is a little unresponsive and Windows Phone doesn't work at all. We´re going to need to find another solution.
