Am I missing something? I'd like to get my hands on the templates, mocks, wirefames, etc. Let me play with those (as a designer) and I'll be able to better follow the specs and guidelines.

Note: Microsoft (for once) actually one-up Big G. here. They provide the PSD and fonts for Windows Phone 7 on MSDN + the UX Guidelines.

Also, for Apple, 3rd party made all the PSD and templates for them...

There's some third party work done for Android as well: http://designmodo.com/android-kits-developers/

Thanks. Nice. But since Big. G. is heavily pushing ICS, they should really put the ICS files up there.

I've recently updated Keynotopia templates to include Android ICS UI components for Keynote and PowerPoint (http://keynotopia.com/android-prototyping-templates/)

Great resources on your site. Should you ever feel inclined to port your stuff to Axure you have at least one paying customer right here.

One of the nice features of the Android hierarchy viewer (provided with the Android SDK) is that it lets you dump your app's visual structure as a PSD with layers - very useful for working with a designer. Ask your developer!

I will! Thanks! I assume that's new in ICS?

Actually, it's been around for a while. The tool is kinda unpolished, but quite useful..

I agree. I don't understand why they aren't linking to those resources as well, or maybe I missed them.
