JupiterResearch Finds Creating Better Browser Alternatives Would Stimulate Mobile Internet Adoption
Overall, 63 percent of cell phone owners are not using cell phones to access such Internet services as search engines or to gather such information as the daily news, which are both popular activities on computers. However, the fact that 37 percent of cell phone owners are accessing some kind of information or services on their cell phone is a clear indicator of demand from cell phone users for more than voice services.
Usability test: Does iPhone match the hype?
Let’s cut to the bottom line: In terms of usability, iPhone blew away its two competitors. Its overall score in the usability tests was 4.6 out of 5. The HTC Touch was a distant second at 3.4, and the Nokia N95 scored 3.2.
“Testers were [typically] about twice as fast doing specific tasks on the iPhone, which is pretty remarkable,” Thornton said.
Phone revolution makes Africa upwardly mobile
“This phone has become my office,” he added, smiling as he held up a Nokia registering a full bar of signal. Mr Gakungi and others like him are helping to drive a wireless revolution that has made Africa the world’s fastest-growing mobile phone market. At the start of 2000, there were eight million subscribers in Africa. According to a report by Informa, a telecoms analyst, there are now more than 100 million mobiles in use on the continent — one for every nine Africans.
35% of U.S. Tweens Own a Mobile Phone, According to Nielsen
According to Nielsen, 5% of tweens access the Internet over their phone each month. While 41% of tween mobile Internet users say they do so while commuting or traveling (to school, for example), mobile content such as the Internet is also a social medium for this audience: 26% of tween mobile Internet users say they access the web while at a friend’s house and 17% say they do so at social events.
The impact of the mobile phone
What was first considered a luxury item is now a necessity in our everyday lives. The mobile phone ranks right up there with the wallet, as items that I can’t leave home without. And if I did, well, I would feel something amiss and it would completely throw my day off.
The mobile phone also lets me do a lot more than make phone calls, play games and take photos. For example, OCBC Bank in Singapore has turned the mobile phone into a two-factor authentication device for Internet banking transactions. Newer mobile phones are also starting to incorporate GPS navigation, and wireless payment is emerging.
Mobile Manufacturers - Obsessed by cool?
I have the dubious pleasure of sitting in on a lot of focus groups with mobile users and I am always surprised at how many users want and need a phone that is robust. For example - many still treasure their Nokia 6310s and go all nostalgic when they talk about its reliability.
Festival for mobile phone films in Japan
Films made entirely on mobile phones are competing in Japan’s First Pocket Film Festival this weekend, with 48 titles in the running for the first prize of 500,000 yen (ВЈ2,200).
Ask the IntoMobile Magic 8-Ball - What is the future of mobile phones?
The UI is the future, and manufacturers are starting to realize that fact. Nokia is going with a touch-based S60. Motorola just bought a 50% stake in UIQ. Samsung has Croix. Apple has the iPhone. And therein lies the key to why the iPhone is such a success. The user interface on the iPhone is un-rivaled. Sure, it’s lacking in the hardware department, but Apple will eventually get it together and offer the same hardware specs that we’ve come to expect from high-end phones. But, the UI. Wow, the UI is incredible.
Ny portal giver det mobile overblik
Folkene bag MobStart mener nemlig, at portalen snart vil være sidestykket til Jubii og Yahoo - bare på mobiltelefonen. MobStart fokuserer specielt på hjemmesider, der er tilpasset det mobile internet.
Fuld fart pГҐ de mobile portaler
BГҐde Sonofon og TDC jubler over deres respektive portaler, E-go og Fly.
В»Inden for det sidste ГҐr er antallet af brugere steget med over 70 procent,В« siger Peter Berg, der er markedsdirektГёr hos Sonofon.
Den markante fremgang har bragt E-gos besГёgstal op pГҐ 192.000 unikke brugere, der skaber 1,5 millioner sidevisninger om mГҐneden.
Hos TDC er der samme begejstring for portalen Fly.
»Vores opfattelse er, at Fly er en af de største mobile portaler. Vi har i øjeblikket 225.000 unikke besøgende om måneden, og vi ser en konstant vækst,« siger Morten Hother Sørensen, der er markedsdirektør i TDC Mobil Norden.
Apple trimmer iPhone til forretningsfolk
Indtil videre er det især inkarnerede Apple-entusiater og gadget-freaks, der har kastet sig over Apple-hittet iPhone. Men nu satser Apple på at udvide kredsen, og lancerer en erhvervsløsning, der skal gøre iPhone til forretningsmandens følgesvend.
Mobiler der strГҐler mindre
SonyEricsson S500i, SonyEricsson W580 og Samsung SGH-i600 er gode valg, hvis du Гёnsker en mobiltelefon med lav strГҐling.
A bank in every pocket?
Leonard Waverman of the London Business School has estimated that an extra ten mobile phones per 100 people in a typical developing country leads to an extra half a percentage point of growth in GDP per person.
As mobile phones have spread, a new economic benefit is coming into view: using them for banking, and so improving access to financial services, not just telecoms networks. Pioneering m-banking projects in the Philippines, Kenya and South Africa show the way. These “branchless” schemes typically allow customers to deposit and withdraw cash through a mobile operator’s airtime-resale agents, and send money to other people via text messages that can be exchanged for cash by visiting an agent.
Mobile Web: So Close Yet So Far
Similarly, surveys by Yankee Group, a Boston research firm, show that only 13 percent of cellphone users in North America use their phones to surf the Web more than once a month, while 70 percent of computer users view Web sites every day.
“The user experience has been a disaster,” says Tony Davis, managing partner of Brightspark, a Toronto venture capital firm that has invested in two mobile Web companies.
