On my last 2 application develop using CakePHP Framework , i’ve used 960 grid system (960.gs) for the layout.

As of the new release of my application since we are all moving to multiple platform viewer such as ipad2, iphone4, android mobile and in-car-monitor ; im gonna start using 978 Grid System (978.gs) in my next update of infosys.

Why move to 978 grid system ?

“The default gutters are pretty narrow, causing text and content to appear cramped. 978 alleviates this by opening up gutter space and taking advantage of more screen real-estate. ~creator of 978.gs”

My answer would be its easier to have our team designer working on great design without having argument with u.x engineer :p
