    Presenter's notes have been added as comments on each slide. I recommend viewing the slides with the presenters notes as some of the slides are meaningless without the notes.
  • grigs grigs 2 years ago
    I'm here to tell you a story. The story starts over 8 years ago when I got my first Handspring and my first mobile phone.

    Looking at the two devices in my pockets, I realized that there was a lot of potential if my phone, which was connected to the Internet, had access to the capabilities of the Handspring. Or vice versa.

    I became consumed with the idea that if people had ready access to information wherever and whenever they needed it that it could be the sort of thing that could change the world for the better.
  • grigs grigs 2 years ago
    And when I say consumed. I mean CONSUMED.

    My apartment was covered with large post-it notes describing what might be possible and a business plan built on this idea.

    I had forgotten about this until recently when we decided to start Cloud Four to focus on mobile development. My wife Dana reminded me that when she met me that my apartment was covered in post-it notes like some sort of mad scientist's lab.

    Probably not the best way to make a first impression. I'm tremendously lucky that despite the obsession, she still married me. :-)

    I really believe we were onto something when it came to the convergence of mobile phones and PDAs. Unfortunately, we hit a wall called WAP.

    The reality was the technology wasn’t good enough to do what we wanted to do. The world changing would have to wait.

    Instead I got a great job at a wonderful company building web sites and applications for standards-setting organizations.
  • grigs grigs 2 years ago
    After seven years at that same company, I found myself yearning for something new. I found myself asking what was next: both for technology and for me.
  • grigs grigs 2 years ago
    When I looked around, there were three things that couldn't be ignored:

    The first was the release of the iPhone. It made the dreams of 8 years ago seem not only possible, but inevitable. The dream was close to becoming a reality.
  • grigs grigs 2 years ago
    The second was meeting Kinan Sweidan at Web Visions. Kinan and I discussed mobile development. I told him that I was surprised he chose to work on mobile given the frustrating lack of standards and the control that carriers have.

    Kinan said that yes, it was frustrating and difficult, but that it was in this space that the true opportunity lies because when it is easy and standardized that it is commoditized.

    I had spent the last seven years working at a company that built web sites and applications for standards-setting organizations so I lived and breathed standards. Kinan's words were heresy. And when I thought about the early days of the web, I realized that they were true.
  • grigs grigs 2 years ago
    The final thing that couldn't be ignored was a number. It was originally 2.7 and later 3.3 billion. That is the number of mobile devices in the world.

    That's an astonishing number. It is difficult to comprehend how large that is.
  • grigs grigs 2 years ago
    3.3 billion mobile devices means that there is a subscription for every two people on the planet. None of the other popular technologies can come close to this widespread adoption.
  • grigs grigs 2 years ago
    Tomi T Ahonen recently helped put 3.3 billion in perspective. There are more mobile phones than Cars, PCs, Telephones, Credit Cards and Televisions. We think of television as being the global mass market, but it is dwarfed by the mobile phone market.

    It is astonishing that mobile phones can be such a large market and at the same time be under the radar for most businesses.

(U.S. is at a paltry 80%) • Percentage of younger phone users increasing. Normal for children under 10 years old to have a phone in Europe and Asia. • Population grows by 3 people a second. 38 mobile devices a second.

  18. It's the recreation of the Internet, it's the recreation of the PC story and it is before us — and it is very likely it will happen in the next year. Eric Schmidt, Google CEO speaking at Davos, January 2008
  19. Parallels to Early Internet Days • Email is the most sought after feature. Businesses pushing smart phone adoption for employees. • Fractured platform. Few standards. Fewer reliable. • Proprietary development environments. • Poor documentation. • Return to browser wars. • Radically changes many things including business plans, advertising, metrics, and development practices. • No one knows the patterns for success (design, dev, or business)
  20. Adoption of Internet • In 1994, best estimates were 20 to 30 million people on the Internet. That is less that 1% of the world’s population at the time. • Today, 12% of carrier revenue is data services and only 16% of users access the web on those devices once a month. • 1994, 5% of people surveyed said that they were willing to pay fees for web access. 97% of people were using Mosiac and a text browser, Lynx was #2 • Late 1994, 18% using Netscape and 71% said they might pay depending on cost and quality.
  21. The Hope for Mobile What is the likelihood of exponential growth for the Internet on Mobile Devices?
  22. “The Mother of all Markets.” Dr. Eli Harai, San Disk CEO, 2008 John Sculley, Apple CEO, 1992 http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E0CE5D9143AF93AA25754C0A964958260

  27. January 2008 Mobile Browser Stats iPhone + iPod WinCE Symbian Hiptop 8% 4% 23% 65% Source: www.netapplications.com
  28. “It’s about usage. Not units” • Number of queries on Google search from iPhones surpassed those from Symbian-based phones in the days after Christmas. Nokia’s Symbian-based phones are 40% of the market worldwide. • German iPhone users consume 30 times more data. • 95% of iPhone customers regularly surf the Internet. Data services revenue increased from $2.7 billion in 2005 to $6.9 billion in 2007. • Google sees 50 times the number of searches using the iPhone than any other mobile device. They were so surprised, they asked their engineers to check the logs to make sure it was correct. • This is why major companies, Google, Quicken, etc. are all launching iPhone-optimized services despite the iPhone’s 1% market share.
  29. It’s Not All About the iPhone
  30. The Pace of Innovation is Picking Up • Google Android open mobile OS joins Limo. OHA formed • AOL Open Mobile Platform • Nokia buys Trolltech, Launches advertising network • Microsoft buys Danger • Yahoo Mobile Widgets, oneConnect Social Network • iPhone SDK in this month
  31. Carrier Landscape Changing • Push for open networks. Commitment from Verizon for open network by end of 2008. • New wireless spectrum bidding included openness requirements. • Flat rate data plan options growing. • iPhone opened doors for phone providers to push carriers to do things that they were unwilling to do in the past. • Tremendous pressure on carriers because of 40% churn in subscribers.
  32. Changing Business Models Already Beginning • Free mobile network for 16 to 24 year olds in Europe • Most di cult demographic to reach • Exchange information and willingness to receive ads for free phone and text message usage • Interactive advertising using SMS • Resulting in 12 to 24% response rates versus direct mail and web advertising rates of < 1%.
  33. For Developers and Designers • Start reading and learning now • Embrace the constraints • Small screen, slower processors, slower network • Lack of standards • Fragmented development platforms • Key decisions: • On the deck vs. O the deck. • What device classes will you support?
  34. Embrace what is unique about mobile • Personal • Identifiable • In your pocket • Locatable • Always on and connected • Users on the go
  35. Pick the right target audience. Be willing to experiment.
