Dave will discuss the opportunities and challenges for real-time personalization; give examples of what leading brands are doing today; and talk about how more and more brands are turning to the customer data platform (CDP) and other core technologies to accelerate their initiatives.

Presentation from Conrad Stoll, Consulting Architect, Mutual Mobile at CocoaConf Mini Austin 2014.
We are expected to secure our software. Products are judged by the quality of the user experience, and the absence of security issues. Security is about being responsible with a user’s information. The type of information your app handles defines how secure it needs to be.

Not everyone is building a banking app. Security is all about making tradeoffs. Every app we build has an appropriate balance between security and usability.

SXSW 2014 | How Mobile Is Changing The Research UniverseMutual Mobile
Materials are via Andrew Campbell, Director of User Research, Mutual Mobile for presentation at South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Festival 2014.
The smartphone has changed every element of research over the past few years – from the way consumers want to respond to inquiries (some 40% of research surveys are opened and completed on a mobile device) to the tools available to collect data and feedback to form research. However, it is the passive data that is being collected from the smartphone that is causing the most confusion, and frankly blurred legal lines, when it comes to the altered landscape of research. Is that data fair game? Or does the consumer own it? If mining passive data results in a better user experience, does it matter? Does the good outweigh the questionable?
SXSW 2014 | You Can Use Glass For Good Or...Mutual Mobile
Materials are via Sam Gaddis, Chief Marketing Officer, Mutual Mobile for presentation at South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Festival 2014.
We’ve seen this before – incredible technology is released to the consumer and a flurry of unimaginative, low impact uses and applications are associated with it. Anyone remember the early days of the app store? Google Glass is about to hit a similar junction, but rather than seeing an emphasis on picture-taking, sport-reporting, calorie-counting apps, the focus will be on Google Glass being used by people who do really important, life-saving jobs with both hands, and don't actually care how they look. This session will cover and explore the use cases developed by actual firefighters, police officers, EMTs, surgeons, and soldiers. If you're more interested in how Glass will make a difference in the world than how it'll let you creepily take pictures of people by winking, this talk is for you. We'll skip over the 1.0 apps and talk about how Glass might actually help people doing important jobs do them better.
SXSW 2014 | Wearable Tech: Game Changer for People with Disabilities?Mutual Mobile
Presentation is via Jen Quinlan, Senior Director of Marketing, Mutual Mobile and J.P. Gownder, Vice President, Forrester Research for presentation at South by Southwest (SXSW) Interactive Festival 2014.
Media and agencies are plagued with tunnel vision. They are stuck thinking about mundane use cases for wearables like Glass that are reminiscent of first phase mobile apps.
Wake up. Wearable tech has the potential for more impact than what brands are talking about. Let’s instead explore more complex use cases and look into how wearable tech can drastically improve lives of people with disabilities or special needs.
In this session we will explore how Glass and other wearables can unlock new possibilities for people with vision issues, hearing issues, or decreased mobility of their limbs. We’ll share real users’ stories, explore how wearable tech may address their needs, and look at what’s possible today versus looking into the future.
7 Design Tips for the New Android ExperienceMutual Mobile
Designing for Android used to be a uniquely fragmented experience. But since Android 4.0, all that has changed.
Here are seven tips for designing for Jelly Bean and Ice Cream Sandwich.
With over 500 million active devices and another 1.3 million activated every day, Android is a global force to be reckoned with. And this isn’t 2009′s Android. The Android of today is beautiful, fuels a consistent experience across devices, and powers a fleet of devices that buyers are scrambling for.
Explore how the new generation of Android – and the new generation of Android users – is changing the mobile landscape.
Designing the New Android Experience - The Golden Age of AndroidMutual Mobile
Mutual Mobile's Android design tips for the new Android experience. Written by the author of the original Android Human Interface Guidelines, this piece explores how Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean (Android 4.0 - 4.2) have transformed everything we thought we knew about Android. For more on mobile design, development, and strategy, visit www.mutualmobile.com
When Apple first released its iPad, nobody knew just how great its impact would be. We've since seen the iPad and iPad 2 explode on the market and, in the course of just two years, become an integral part of our lives. The new iPad 3 may change that all over again.
We take a brief look back over the two-year history of the iPad to see how far it has come and how far the iPad 3 may take us.
The future of Android tablets rests with designers. Android has captured only a small marketshare largely due to it's lack of apps, poor graphic design and poor UX. Mutual Mobile Creative Director Amanda McGlothlin makes a case for the importance of design to the future of Android and how designers can more effective cater to the end user. This speech from the 2011 Android Developers Conference looks at popular apps that break correct design conventions, great examples of Android design and exercises in profiling users. Find more at www.mutualmobile.com
This new second edition of Mutual Mobile's essential Android design guidelines now incorporates Google's latest OS release made specifically for tablets, Honeycomb. This version of the guidelines introduces some of the OS's features such as Action Bars and UI elements like Fragments. This guide is a must-have for any designer exploring the mobile space and a big step froward for the Honeycomb app ecosystem.
