Mobile ticketing provides a better way for customers than traditional methods by allowing ticket purchases directly from mobile phones using barcodes or contactless payments. This avoids long lines and issues with current infrastructure. However, for companies to adopt new mobile technologies, it must address real problems simply and profitably without large upfront costs. Masabi's mobile ticketing solutions allow easy one-time and repeat ticket purchases on any mobile device without usernames or passwords. Their applications are optimized for usability on different mobile platforms with security validated by governments. Case studies show significant customer satisfaction and increased sales over traditional methods.

Editor's Notes
- Masabi have been producing downloadable mobile applications for over 7 years, and today Masabi secure mobile applications process millions of dollars worth of transactions every year
- Our applications are built on three core principals –Make the application usable and relevant to the end user, and make the default use cases quick and easy on the mobile. (I’ll show you some sides of that later)Then, PORTABILITY to all popular handsets, including the older handsets that many developers avoid, to ensure the largest possible user-base for your service.For Mobile commerce – security, on all phones, to modern public standards.
- [The screenshots above are animated, to show useful UI widgets helping the user to select from large lists, or input Credit Card numbers correctly]WAP and WEB services are Thin Clients ; good when you have a reliable, low latency connection. Mobile is not like that. – inside buildings, moving vehicles and in remote locations: connections are often dropped or unavailable.Mobile Java allows us to build FAT clients, and not just glorified mini-browsers!Applications should provide most of the interaction while OFF-LINE and then only require an occasional connection at the end to make transactions, or get updates.e.g. you should be able to review your bank account and create new payment instructions while on the metro, not only when stood still in good Here are screenshots showing how you can quickly select one station from a list hundreds long, and also how to perform local validation of credit card numbers before sending to reduce the number of unecessary network connectionsSMS Failover:Many users (more than half, we reckon) cannot make network connections from Java using WAP, because they need to switch to the correct INTERNET settings. To provide these users with an out-of-the-box instant purchase, the application can automatically detect the lack of functioning GPRS and switch to encrypted SMS instead.
- Hold up 3510i or old Nokia S40 phoneWhen you provide transactional software for these old phones, we find that significant numbers of people use them. Can you afford to throw away 10-20% of your users?(By way of comparison Microsoft and iPhones represent around 1% of the market)To provide Portability, we use our own porting Framework: DevelopMEWe’ve seen many mobile products that are either attractive, but high-end only; or basic-looking and available on all handsets.Through DevelopME we are able to provide attractive apps on all Java phones.You have to work hard to build full function applications that work on the older phones, and you can’t out-source it, or think about it late in your dev cycle – it has to be at the core of how you build everything.It’s not just different graphics sizes and bugs, you have to build variations of UI’s that make the best use of very different input mechanisms on the different phones, and not expect the end consumer to re-learn new UI concepts that they don’t already use on their phone every day.
