This design pattern is part of the Mobile Design Patterns series.

Description

A touch screen menu contains the entire necessary icons which are required for the application. A touch screen phone should lock and unlock by touch. By buttons we can go directly to the application e.g. dial, calendar, back button and phone menu, MP3, MP4, SMS, email.

Advantage

• Very fast access to any application by touch.

• It gives basic information e.g. date and time very fast.

• Some themes contains standard shortcut like SMS, MP3.

• By rotating or sliding the icon user can reach any application.

• By one click we can open required application in mobile.

Disadvantage

• Some by wrong touch user can open unused application.

• Every time need to touch.

Use when

Any application must open by touch only. Touch mobiles are going to used in the future.
