Mobile business and development

NOTE For Slideshare users:
This is an edited version of the presentation held for Google Technology User Group meetup in Århus February 10th 2010
Numbers and user trends are moved to the back of the presentation, since this is material from my m-commerce presentation.

Agenda
Doing mobile business
Mobile business evolution: What’s hype and what’s business?
Different solutions and audiences means different platforms and technologies
Going technical
Learnings and toolbox
The future at present
The Numbers and the users
Mobile in numbers + forecasts
What users do?
What’s driving the market?

Hype AND/Or Business
Not everyone needs an iPhone App
At least not the ones without an iPhone
Still: The medium is the message (Marshall McLuhan)
A lot of people request context aware personal services
Mobile is personal (id), media for entertainment and services, billing applicable and always on and online
This means business (be it via apps, SMS, web etc.)

Coupons
75 % of smartphone users are positive towards receiving mobile coupons for offline buys
A coupon can be intertainment in itself
A coupon can be something you make yourself (collect bits, by submitting content to web 2.0’ish campaign, by collecting friends in Facebook app etc.)

Do silent patches or launch with a blast!
Use HTML, JavaScript + server side code of your choice
Get access to GPS, send SMSes, send email + maybe do more later
Live data at hand

Ask user to update
Use Objective-C, Symbian C++, Java, .Net – according to device platform
Get access to most depending on device sandbox settings
Synchronize or request live data
Design for device (mostly iPhone)
Mobile Web
Mobile App (in app store)

Market is driven by...
Legislation?
Innovative services?
Technology / platforms?

The introduction of a game changer
iTunes, app stores and smartphones
Distribution of mobile content just got a super mall
After little more than 2 years iPod Touch + iPhone reached 57 mil. users. i-mode in Japan didn’t reach half as many on a far more homogeneous market
App Store as Gatekeeper / revenue share model / security enforcement
Java capable platforms are still the largest business, but app stores are introducing an intuitive and user oriented distribution channel

What’s up with those iPhone users?
