The user experience of using Google APIs from a mobile device is
pretty poor.

Here is a copy of the current page:
http://static.webvm.net/GoogleContactsAPI/AuthSubRequest.html

You have to scroll when using Pocket IE:

The "learn more" link is broken for me:

In Android or with an Iphone the buttons are too difficult to press.


So could your UI designers please remove the tables and CSS like:
.body { margin-left: 3em;
margin-right: 5em;

And test it on Android?

Warm regards,

Julian (Google)

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback. Because this groups is specific for the
Contacts API, I recommend you to report/discuss this issue on the
Mobile group or the Android Group:

http://groups.google.com/group/google-mobile-help

http://groups.google.com/group/android-discuss

Thanks,
Julian
