Editor's Notes

  1. I’m here to talk about what has happened over the last 365 days in mobile… but let’s take a second to appreciate all that has changed before that Obviously phones have evolved tremendously 20+ years since wall street 2 + years since the iphone launched Portable, Digital Information Hub …
  2. Capabilities: Initiate phone calls Receive phone calls On the move Text Messaging Mobile Web that doesn’t suck Maps News Watch TV/Video Alarm clock GPS & Maps Apps for everything else!
  3. And now mobile isn’t even about voice.
  4. Matt asked me to cover off some current Canadian Mobile stats for the audience today – so here are some updated stats (mostly courtesy of our friends at the CWTA)
  5. NOTE: 10 billion in 2007, 4.3 billionin 2006, and 2.1 billion in 2005 in Canada
  6. Agree that Apple will dominate for the foreseeable future, but believe RIM will do better than 10% - especially when they decide to focus / own the business application market
  7. Although Apple was the first to popularize the App store, every major mobile OS has rolled out their own version. Such as…
  8. Great example of content driven App
  9. Example of a popular App that is already optimized for Blackberry and the iphone by leveraging their OS to deliver a simple & effective user experience
  10. It just sounded better to use the legacy term for this presentation
  11. Although the “full web” is mostly possible on iphone, and fully possible on some upcoming tablets and other smart phones, keep in mind that context is still very important. What works online may not be what the user wants on the go.
