Publication number: 20100105441Abstract: Techniques involving a display size of representations in a user interface are described. In one or more implementations, a mobile communications device assigns a display size to representations of a plurality of content based on metadata associated with the content that indicates when the content was captured. The assigned display size of a first representation is larger than the assigned display size of a second representation. The first and second representations are displayed concurrently in a user interface on the mobile communications device as having respective assigned display sizes.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2009Publication date: April 29, 2010Inventors: Chad Aron Voss, Michael J. Kruzeniski, Michael K. Henderlight, Grant Gardner, Joseph P. McLaughlin
