I've been using Balsamiq for 2+ years. I use it a lot for mobile apps. Unfortunately, Balsamiq has been painful to use lately for mocking up mobile screens. It doesn't have the latest mobile ui elements so I have to build them up from scratch. This update doesn't change this.

There's a market for an easier way to mockup mobile app screens and Balsamiq is barely addressing this segment right now. I am waiting for the day a new product comes out specifically designed for mocking up mobile apps.

As a first step, the next big feature on our list is to make the Symbol Libraries on https://mockupstogo.mybalsamiq.com/projects easy to import from within the editor. It should help some, then we'll see. Mobile widgets have been changing very rapidly, I hesitate baking in any set as part of the default ones.

Blueprint on iPad if you're talking about iOS. Not sure for Android.

By the way, Balsamiq could be killer on the ipad. It already has a fun and tactile feel that fits the ipad perfectly. To Balsamiq: imo, you guys should just ditch flash and use your vision to make something much better in c/obj-c that includes lots of mobile and tablet components in addition to web. You'd have a ton of customers.

We are a bunch of indie developers who felt exactly this way! So, we cranked out a tablet app (both iPad and Android) that lets you import Balsamiq bmml files onto your device and edit/present your screens. Please feel free to take it out for a spin here: http://www.mockups.me/wireframes/tablet.html - any feedback is appreciated!

Working on it, we have a native iPad app currently in private alpha. We're experimenting different things, we want it to be "just right". :)

Thanks, I'll check out Blueprint. Wasn't aware of it!
