A quick read about the lessons learned from developing a mobile app/website with the user in mind. Obviously Polar is promoted here, since it's how they learned and Wroblewski is proud of it. But I think Polar is used as a concrete example that makes it easier to understand the concepts presented, like an extended case study. Plus the polar bears everywhere are cute.
I read the iBook version, which included videos and links to further reading. I recommend this version as it really fills out the details, especially where interactions like one-thumb navigation are being discussed.
