Over the past few years, mobiles have undergone a continual transformation, becoming more capable and flexible with each new release. The ability to record audio and video turned them into tiny multimedia devices; as storage capacity increased, they became the storehouses of our digital lives; and geolocation, web browsing, and email has brought much of the functionality of a laptop to the pocket-sized devices. Then, a year ago, another transformation took place. Devices with touch screen displays appeared on the market. These new mobiles can access the Internet over the increasingly higher-speed 3G networks or by using wifi, and they can sense motion and orientation and react accordingly thanks to built-in accelerometers. They can use GPS to locate themselves and can run robust applications. They communicate with other devices. Most significantly, their manufacturers are working with the developer community to open up the devices to all the innovation that third-party developers can bring.
New interfaces, the ability to connect to wifi and GPS in addition to a variety of cellular networks, and the availability of third-party applications have created an almost entirely new device with nearly infinite possibilities for education, networking, and personal productivity. The implications for education are dramatic: the potential for mobile gaming and simulation, research aids, fieldwork, and tools for learning of all kinds is there, awaiting development.

Google is making its vast online library of books available for mobile phones.
“We are excited to announce the launch of a mobile version of Google Book Search, opening up over 1.5 million mobile public domain books in the US (and over half a million outside the US) for you to browse”, the company said.
The Internet search giant, in a post on Thursday on the Google Book Search blog, said mobile versions of the books could be read on devices such as the Apple iPhone or T-Mobile G1, which is powered by Google’s Android software.
“These new mobile editions are optimized to be read on a small screen,” Google said. “With this launch, we believe that we’ve taken an important step toward more universal access to books.”
To access the mobile version of Google Book Search a user needs to type http://books.google.com/m into the Web browser of their iPhone or Android phone.
Google’s announcement comes just days ahead of the expected unveiling by Amazon of a new generation version of its popular electronic book reader, the Kindle, at a New York press conference on Monday.
Amazon is also planning to make its online store of e-books for the Kindle available on mobile phones, the New York Times reported on Friday.

In the summer of 2008, an SMS-based communications network was implemented for a
rural hospital and its volunteer community health workers (CHWs) in Namitete, Malawi.
Located 60 km from Lilongwe, St. Gabriel’s Hospital serves 250,000 Malawians spread over a
catchment area 100 miles in radius. Distance presents an often-insurmountable obstacle for
patients seeking care at St. Gabriel’s. Many patients walk up to 100 miles to the hospital; those
with more resources ride bicycles or oxcarts. In order to report patient adherence, ask for medical
advice, or request medical care for remote clients, CHWs had to travel similar distances to the
hospital’s doors.
Josh Nesbit, a Senior in the Human Biology Program at Stanford University, traveled to
St. Gabriel’s with 100 recycled cell phones, a donated laptop and a copy of FrontlineSMS – a
free computer program developed to act as a central text message hub. Over 8 weeks, a total of
75 CHWs were called to the hospital, given cell phones, and trained in text messaging. The
volunteers’ locations were mapped, and the phones were disseminated throughout the catchment
area. Stationed at the hospital, a laptop running FrontlineSMS coordinates the health network’s
activities. The day-to-day program operations were handed over to hospital staff within two
weeks. Josh returned to St. Gabriel’s in December 2008, to distribute solar panels donated by
G24 Innovations, taking the SMS network off the grid.
As a result of the SMS network, the hospital now responds to requests for remote patient
care, tracks distant patients, informs CHWs of proper drug dosages and uses, receives patient
updates, facilitates CHW-to-CHW communication and group mobilization, connects HIVpositive
patients to support groups, and relays outreach HIV testing schedules. In six months, the
SMS program has saved the hospital staff 1200 hours of follow-up time and over $3,000 in
motorbike fuel. Nearly 1,400 patient updates have been processed via SMS. Over 100 patients
have started TB treatment after their symptoms were noticed by CHWs and reported by textmessage.
The SMS network has brought the Home-Based Care unit to the homes of 130 patients
who would not have otherwise received care. Texting has saved 21 antiretroviral therapy (ART)
monitors 900 hours of travel time, eliminating the need to hand-deliver paper reports.

Nearly every student carries a mobile device, making it a natural choice for content delivery and even field work and data capture: mobiles and their networks are virtually everywhere.
Language learners can install applications on their mobiles that let them look up words, practice hearing and speaking, and practice writing.
Detailed reference materials are available for medicine and astronomy; graphing calculator applications turn mobiles into sophisticated mathematical tools; hundreds of flash card applications are available for an array of subjects; and Google Earth now can be installed on mobile devices.

Mobile phones are such a vital part of modern life that you'd be crazy not have one. Allowing you to keep in constant contact with friends and family, mobile phones have made it easier than ever to conduct business and organise social events within only a few hours. There was certainly a time when mobiles had their problems, but now the only problem you need to worry about is keeping up to date with the latest fashions in mobiles and making sure you have the best mobile phone plan. When it comes to everything you need to keep your mobile phones up to date, we can help you.

Limit markup size to what the device can comfortably handle. This sounds obvious, but the “comfortably” bit is important, too. We’ve seen web sites that would render on a Motorola RAZR, but were so heavy that the device didn’t have any capacity to spare for moving the cursor in a timely fashion.
Ensure users have a reason to scroll. Make the top part of your page/screen compelling. Avoid closure, false bottoms. Create expectations that more is below. This is especially important on landing pages.
Use just-in-time fetching for infinite lists. For applications and browsers that support Javascript, don’t fetch a new page at all; instead add items at the bottom of the list as the user nears it. You can remove items at the top if you run out of memory. The Gmail Java ME application does this very well.
Provide accelerators for certain lists. Opera Mini uses left and right to page-scroll up and down in some modes. Openwave browsers support volume up and down for page scrolling. The iPhone Address Book provides letter shortcuts and handles the problem of the letter being too small by only using it to scroll to a spot, rather than filter. Some sites have within-page navigation.
Reduce page length by:
Using only key navigation links (maybe just Home) rather than a full set on every page.
Providing the first few items of a topic area, like the first 5 comments, and linking to a full list of comments
Only putting the spacing needed for touch users on touch devices

VMware on Monday extended its virtualization platform to the mobile phone platform with the unveiling of its VMware Mobile Virtualization Platform based on a previously unannounced acquisition it closed last month.The new platform lets mobile phone users work with multiple virtual phones at the same time, said Srinivas Krishnamurti, VMware’s director of product development management and market development.”

Fast forward to April 2009. With the announcement of the iPhone 3.0 software in March and the third generation iPhone expected to be unveiled by the middle of 2009, I decided that it was time for TechRepublic to start paying more attention to the iPhone again and to revisit the iPhone App Store to see if there is anything in there to make it more compelling to the corporate world.
So I dug out the iPhone 3G, put it in a Griffin case with a ZAGG InvisibleSheild , loaded a bunch of iPhone apps, and started regularly carrying it as a Wi-Fi device. The timing was good since I’ve been traveling a lot this spring, so I’ve been able to test it like a true road warrior.
I’ve been pretty surprised and impressed. This time around, the iPhone has proven to be far more useful, and it’s entirely due to the software.

Opera Turbo in Opera Mobile is still a preview-feature;
Downloads don't work while Opera Turbo is enabled.
Some settings (such as toggle on/off images) do not apply when Opera Turbo is enabled.
On older WM 5.0 Devices with 480x800 resolution, switching between portrait and landscape may cause display errors. This is due to lack of support for this resolution in early versions of Microsoft's driver.
Some input method editors are known not to work well with Opera because they do not comply with Microsoft's SIP and/or IME standard. When such an editor is detected by Opera, Opera will use a known (default) input method instead. An exception is EzInput v1.5, where the phone keypad and compact QUERTY, ABC mode doesn't work, but the rest of the modes work fine. We recommend upgrading to EzInput v2.0 to avoid this.

We recently conducted a consumer survey to better understand our customers’ customers. As marketers, the downside to having a frictionless end user payment experience is that we don’t always know a lot about the people making the payments. How old are you? Why did you select the “Pay by mobile” option? Do you even have a bank account? These are the kinds of questions our survey was designed to answer.
Here’s what we learned, in classic “Myth vs Fact” format:
Myth - Mobile payment users are just a bunch of 12 year olds using their parent’s cell phones to make payments.Fact - Over 88% of mobile payment users are 18 or older. The distribution skews younger with about 60% between 18 and 30 years old.
Myth - Mobile payment users only use mobile because they don’t have bank accounts or credit cards.Fact - 76% of mobile payment users have a bank account or credit card.
Mobile payment users have plenty of options, which begs the question, “why do you use your mobile phone to pay?”
We’re glad we asked:
34% said they used mobile because “it’s fast and easy”22% said because “it’s fun”20% said because “i know it will work”14% said because “it doesn’t seem like I’m spending real money”10% said because “i don’t have a bank account or credit card”
Folks, mobile payments are becoming mainstream.Good stuff.

MMA's Commitment to Consumer Satisfaction
The MMA’s primary focus is on consumer protection and privacy, given the importance of consumer satisfaction in maintaining a sustainable industry and promoting growth.
The MMA therefore strives to align its members and industry stakeholders generally with consumers needs and wants to ensure a positive mobile experience. There are six fundamental elements to a positive consumer experience. They are:
Choice. The consumer must “opt-in” to a mobile marketing program. Consumers have a right to privacy and marketers must therefore gain approval from consumers before content is sent, and include clear directions on how to unsubscribe from communication should it become unwanted.
Control. Consumers should have control of when and how they receive marketing messaging on the mobile phone and must be allowed to easily terminate or “opt-out” of an unwanted program.
Customisation. Data supplied by the consumer for marketing purposes should be used to tailor such marketing to the interests of the consumer (e.g. restricting communications to those categories specifically requested by the consumer.). Targeting user consumer data made available to the marketer helps to eliminate spam, making content as relevant and useful to the consumer as possible.
Consideration. The consumer must receive or be offered something of perceived value in return for receiving the communication (product and service enhancements, entry into competitions etc.).
Constraint. The marketer must effectively manage and limit mobile messaging programs to a reasonable number of programs.
Confidentiality. Commitment to not sharing consumer information with non-affiliated third-parties.

For the last two weeks, I was harassed, annoyed, cajoled and threatened by some anonymous and obnoxious calls by some five or six persons on my cell number. Initially when one or two guys called me, I took it as routine missed calls in which people tried to exploit the fluke. But then it became a norm, and I was reIt’s hard to believe but every day in the last two week, I received some 30 or 40 wrong calls on average from different unique numbers on my mobile phone. The experience was horrible. Every one was polite initially. Their objective was same and that was to strike a lasting friendship with the girl on the other side of the mobile. The frightening thing was that though they didn’t know my name and whereabouts (though some pretended that they knew), but they were roughly aware of my visage.The method of every person was more or less same, though some tried to innovate it. Average callers called me, apologized to me for disturbing me, then asked for my permission to say ‘something’, and then they introduced themselves, and then told me that how lonely they were, and how badly they wanted a sincere friend like me. Initially I didn’t talk to them, and I used to cut off the connection, as soon as I realized its yet another wrong call.
But when it went out of hand, then I tried to reason with the callers. They took it as a cue for further advances. They poured sagas of love and humanity and friendship in my ear, and they quoted the verses of Ghalib and Zauq. They sent me the sms full of love and romance quotes, and they sent me flowers, and roses and hearts in sms. I was thoroughly insulted through mobile mania. Then I let loose my anger, and whoever called me received my severe abuse and rebuttal. I thought that it would shut their mouths tight, and they would look elsewhere.ally listened to some horrible music.
