  19. Mobile Devices & Platforms
  20. Some Mobile Jargon OEMs = Original Equipment Manufacturers Handsets = SmartPhones/Mobile Phones Carriers/Operators = Phone companies App = (Mobile) Software Application Content = Mobile “Apps”, games, other Media Emulators = Mobile Testing Software Gardens (open/closed) = Ecosystem Setups Target(s) = Devices and/or platforms you are working with/developing for Fragmentation = (SW/HW) inconsistencies across devices/platforms ... and many more. No shortage of industry terms! :) 20
  21. Device Evolution
  22. Portable Devices NetBooks and UMPC type devices Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs = Nokia N810) Portable Media Players (PMPs = iPod Touch, iRiver, etc) “Feature Phones” (aka “Cell Phones”) SmartPhones (iPhone, N97, G1, BlackBerry) 22
  23. Some Mobile Device “OEMS” 23
  24. SmartPhone Platforms Apple iPhone Google Android Nokia (Symbian S60) Black Berry/RIM Microsoft Windows Mobile Palm webOS 24
  25. SmartPhones iPhone (OSX) Palm Pre (Palm OS) Nokia N97 (Symbian) G1 (Android) BlackBerries (RIM) Windows Mobile Devices (“6.5”) 25
  26. SmartPhones vs. “Feature Phones” 26
  27. “Rough” Device Numbers Windows Black Berry Android iPhone Nokia S60 Others Mobile (RIM) >1 > 140 20-40 million > 30 Million > 30 Million 1 Billion million Million “Device numbers aren’t everything ... but they are always part of the overall equation. More importantly is the Quality (of user experience) vs. Quantity.” - Me
  28. Fragmentation Example: Device “A” supports a specific feature, but ... Device “B” doesn’t Causes = OEMS, Operators Occurs = Hardware, Software Levels “Workaround” = multiple versions of an app! ;( “A motion-sensing 3D game with a GPS social networking feature won't work on a lot of Windows Mobile handsets, but a 2D, keypad-controlled Asteroids clone won't necessarily make a developer rich.”
  29. “Apps”
  30. New Mobile Culture NEW = DATA OLD = Voice (Apps & Services)!
  31. Mobile Content Types Screen savers & Wallpapers Mobile User Interfaces Ring tones Media (Music, Video, Photos) Applications (Games, Productivity, etc)
  32. Application Stack
  33. Application Stack
  34. Mobile Business & Ecosystems
  35. “The Perfect Storm” Users are consuming content! Better Mobile User Experiences Better Connectivity Powerful Devices (Smartphones) Compelling Apps! Device Capabilities Distribution Channels for making Money!
  36. Old vs. New Mobile OLD NEW Operator Deck App Stores + + Developer Imagination Developer Imagination + + Operator Greed Entrepreneurial Spirit = = Blood, Sweat, Tears (& Money) Fun and Money
  37. Mobile Print Ad in USA “iphone like” ;) Verizon Wireless (U.S.A Operator) We did not have these “App ads” 1 year ago!
  38. Mobile Apps are “mainstream” New Billboard Ad in Boston (on my way to Logan airport) - May 2009
  39. iPhone Ad (in U.S) TV Spot #1
  40. Target App Consumer “I’m downloading around 2-10 apps a day (yeah, I’m completely addicted), and it seems like 90% of them are complete ju<beep>nk. (but usually a fancy one ...)” - an iPhone content consumer
  41. “Show me the Money!” Projects for Hire Ad Funded Consultancy “Challenges and Contests” Private and Public Funding App Stores = Revenue Splits
  42. # of Apps Downloaded From http://compete.com/
  43. Pricing Apps
  44. % of People Who Buy From http://compete.com/
