37Signals have done some good writing around this idea, but specifically to web apps.

  It's refreshing to read good articles on this. Until I started designing web apps, it's not something I considered much. An after thought, sort of like a nifty 404 page. But really, this state creates the first impression for our users in many cases! Of course it should be well designed. Thanks for the additional resources.
