Q3: Think of the best gaming or social apps. Is design success more related to cloud or mobile technology?

For gaming in particular, it's all about usability. Cloud storage is a huge game (lol) changer that is impacting mobile AND console crossplay.

UX is key to any app. In some ways, presents a make/break decision.

It's easy to imagine a well-designed and fun game that's on mobile but not on cloud, but not as much the other way around.

Design success is most related to UX and implementing user feedback, which requires both cloud and mobile technology

social connection. We want to join the game and/or conversation within

Performance and usability happen in the design - both design for the screen as well as in design of the architecture

mobile design *appears* to be more success related b/c it's in your face. But the *design* of the cloud your app is riding on is critical. All guts, no glory.

I believe social connects the data and devices including #IoT that can leverage the cloud that will be engaged via mobile... its about a total solution not one offs... API friendly is key!

I'd say mobile. If it doesn't work well on my phone or other mobile devices, I'm not using it.

there's no wiggle room with design in mobile gaming; if it's not good, people can't play it.

If you don't think #mobile rules, try taking someone's #smartphone away from them for a day or two.

@ibminterconnect I would say that Design success depends on Design Thinking. The execution then relates to mobile and cloud --

Both are important. Cloud enables the app; design done correctly gives the user the freedom to navigate, understand, and get the most out of the app.
