Before it is possible to start developing an application for a device, it is necessary to check the general interaction patterns on the device. This is because your application is only a small part of the whole interaction experience. It is important to use familiar interaction patterns to make sure that users can handle the application in the same way as others applications. An interaction pattern is a optimal solution or a best practice and is vital to good design (see Wikipedia 2010). Normally an interaction pattern is described by a picture plus a small text. I prefer to describe an interaction pattern with a picture and a small picture, when it is necessary.
