Mobile Devices in transformation

• Speed– Super 3G (HSDPA)– WLAN– WiMax– 4G

• Screen sizes– 320x240 (Nokia N95)– 480x320 (iPhone)– 640x360 (N97)

• Hardware features– Touch, GPS,

Accelerometers, RFID, Noise Cancellation, pico-projectors, 8mp cameras

• Software– Phonebook/Facebook,

full browsers, dictionary, messenger, Twitter


Mobility and pervasive computing

• It is all about getting on the net• Producing and consuming content on the move• Synchronizing and providing complete

experiences

Red Ocean Scenario - The mobile battlefield

Complete Web Experience


Business 1/3:

From service providers to app stores

• Top 10 iStore apps sell around 5000+ units a day in the US.

• Apple share 30 % / developer 70 %

• Equals– Gold rush …

• Coming soon– Windows®

Marketplace for Mobile

– Nokia Ovi Store– Palm App Catalog

• Service providers– Bypassed ???


Business 2/3:

Existing apps want to be mobile

• For example: Hotels.dk, home.dk, danskebank.dk, dr.dk, picasa, World of warcraft, office, send sms, gps-data, running route …


Business 3/3:

Dealing with ”free”• Cross-Subsidy

– Razors and blades– Cell phones

• Ad-supported– Media, More users to attract ad people

• "Freemium"– Up selling Old Model

• Old Model – Up selling: Give away 1 to sell 99%• New model: give away 99 % to sell 1 %

• Digital economics– Underlying cost of manufacturing and distribution dropped near zero as in

music

• Marketing– Free samples to generate word of mouth multiplied by web's viral power

• Gift Economy– Wikipedia

Programming in Java (Java Mobile)

Ideal for a portable solution, if the Java ME platform provides the needed functionality. Good for vertical applications that must be portable. Device-specific libraries exist for many devices and are commonly used for games, making them non-portable.

Hello World Symbian• Symbian Hello World- Five classes (5 .cpp + 5 .h files)- One ressource file- Approximately 200 lines of code!• So why use Symbian- Speed- Functionality

#include <avkon.hrh>#include <aknnotewrappers.h> #include "HelloWorld.pan"#include "HelloWorldAppUi.h"#include "HelloWorldAppView.h"#include "HelloWorld.hrh"void CHelloWorldAppUi::ConstructL() { BaseConstructL(); iAppView = CHelloWorldAppView::NewL(ClientRect()); AddToStackL(iAppView);}CHelloWorldAppUi::CHelloWorldAppUi() {}CHelloWorldAppUi::~CHelloWorldAppUi() { if (iAppView) { RemoveFromStack(iAppView); delete iAppView; iAppView = NULL; } }void CHelloWorldAppUi::HandleCommandL(TInt aCommand) { switch(aCommand) { case EEikCmdExit: case EAknSoftkeyExit: Exit(); break;

case EHelloWorldCommand1: { _LIT(message,"Hello!"); CAknInformationNote* informationNote = new (ELeave) CAknInformationNote; informationNote->ExecuteLD(message); } break; default: Panic(EHelloWorldBasicUi); break; } }


Symbian next step?Opensource, OpenC, Maemo, QT
