Target Smartphone Users or Die!

I do not feel that I am exaggerating at all when I say, "Any job is not to focus some, if not most of their marketing resources to smartphone users in 2011 and will continue to go the way of dinosaur ."

Most people in business are aware that smartphones are the fastest growing, and already the most widely used tool for communication and on-line browsing, and are gaining popularity when it comes to playing games and listening to music. What is not as well-known fact is that most handheld device manufacturers focus their product research and development on future generations of smart phones, not cell phones can only make calls and send text messages. So sooner, rather than later, most mobile phone retailers and service providers will offer something different, but the smartphone. Also, the new generation of smart phones have more features, more applications, increasing computing capabilities, more memory, more versatility, it is more likely smartphone will be the preferred mobile communication and computing device of choice.

This is a 2011 years would be attention to the enterprise mobile marketing, if they are not doing it already.

It is important mobile market facts:

Estimates for 2010 show that 234 million Americans age 13 and older use mobile devices. Device manufacturer Samsung ranked as the top mobile manufacturer with 24.5% of U.S. mobile subscribers, up 0.9 percentage points from the 3 months ending in August. Samsung ranked second with 20.9% share, followed by Motorola with 17.0%, 8.8% from RIM and Nokia with 7.2 %.

In the U.S., the statistics are that 61.5 million people owned a smartphone in the last quarter of November 2010, which is 10% from the previous quarter. RIM led with 33.5% market share in smartphones. After months of steady growth, Google android trapped among the # 2 smartphone platform in the same period with 26.0% of U.S. smartphone subscribers. Apple accounted for 25.0% of smartphone subscribers, an increase of 0.8 percentage points, followed by Microsoft with 9.0% and from 3.9 Palm %.

In the last quarter of November, 67.1% of U.S. mobile subscribers use text messaging on your mobile device, which is 0.5 percentage points over the prior 3 months, and browsers were used by 35.3% U.S. mobile subscribers, up 0.8 percentage points. Subscribers who use downloaded application comprises 33.4% of the mobile audience, which represents an increase of 1.1 percentage points. Access to social networking sites or blogs has increased 1.0 percentage points, representing 23.5% of mobile subscribers. Playing games attracted 22.6% of the mobile audience, while listening to music attracted 15.0 %.

The importance of mobile devices, especially smartphones, can not be ignored going forward with any marketing strategy in 2011. In five years, I foresee a new generation of smart phones will replace radio and television as an effective medium for reaching most consumers, with all forms of print media have even less value as an advertising space.

N97 Mini finally launched !

The wait is over.Nokia N97 has finally launched after months of anticipation.The dimensions of the mobile phone are apt.Though the dimensions of the phone are different on the paper,it fells a lot smaller in hand.The build is excellent and the slider mechanism works flawlessly.





Front view:

The menu key has been changed and looks similar to the keys in N86 with dotted pattern.However the call key and he end keys are just like any standard Nokia mobile.the keys are kept at a comfortable angle so that it is easy to use in both portrait and landscape mode.





Features:

The keys to Nokia 97 possess the same basic design and shape.The space key is on the right side which makes the beginner take some time to get used to.The plastic cover from the rear side is removed and replaced with small metal cover which not only saves millimetres of thickness but also adds solidity to the design.The camera does not have a lens cover which makes it prone to damage.

The interface speed is good and the phone,responsive.The n97 mini is priced at Rs. 30,000 which is a thousand bucks cheaper than N97 itself.

Samsung Pixon

If you're a shutterbug, the Samsung Pixon is one phone to long for. A 3.2-inch, 240-by-400-pixel touch screen and an 8-megapixel camera with auto-focus put this model at the top of our list of 2009 phones to long for.




It also has a macro mode, and a dual power LED flash. Shake reduction helps you avoid fuzzy photos, while face and smile detection help you ensure you get good shots of people. There is another feature called Face Link which lets you tag people in a photo and then search for pictures by name. Oh, and as well as sorting photos by face tag you can sort them by time taken and colour.

The phone's GPS antenna caters for geo tagging also.

The device is designed keeping in mind people with photography in mind, the Pixon delivers dual-power LED flash, advanced shake reduction, face detection, Smile Shot technology and a photo browser with an accelerometer sensor (for tilt and flip).

There is also a microSD card slot on this edge which you can use to boost the 200MB of built-in storage. You get a 1GB microSD card with the phone This enables picture storage in it.




Image quality can be very good indeed. The macro mode proved to be the best element of all. The carnivorous plant was photographed very close up and the individual globs of sticky, insect catching gum are beautifully rendered.

The Pixon's other media capabilities are not to be overlooked. It can record video at a resolution of 720 by 480 pixels at 30 frames per second, or 120 frames per second at QVGA (1280 by 960) quality, and it can decode SRS Virtual 5.1 audio.

The 13.8mm-thick Samsung Pixon can also provide high-speed mobile Internet via its 7.2-mbps HSDPA connectivity.

In terms of general usability this is my favourite 8-megapixel handset to date. The Pixon brings these parameters to new heights.

Acer DX900

There are hell lot of smartphones flooding the cell phone market.With names like HTC, Samsung, HP and a variety of others fighting to shine like a diamond in a sea of pebbles, Acer has popped up with the Acer DX 900 and brought a feature to the market that has been wished for by a specific group of people for a long time- dual SIM.




Few phones have included dual SIM to date and the ones that boast this eye catching feature have failed to deliver an experience worthy of the promise. Users have only had the choice to run one SIM at a time or to use full dual SIM functionality in a phone.

Acer has now released a phone which promises real time dual SIM functionality with all of the extra smartphone trimmings we come to expect from a Windows Mobile device in 2009.

Alongside the battery sapping dual SIM set up we have a VGA screen for good measure with HSDPA, GPS and Wi-Fi included for good measure. Can a smartphone function for more than a day with all of these features without requiring multiple charging sessions?

The box contents that come along with this phone are pretty standard but the credit to Acer goes for including a good quality slip case and a screen protector which is worth applying; it covers the whole of the screen plus the section above and is thick enough to make it a valuable addition. The miniUSB charge and sync jack is ideal for re-using accessories from previous devices are situated at the bottom. The 2.5mm headphone jack is disappointing in a phone which is thick enough to easily accommodate the industry standard 3.5mm setup.
Adaptors are not that expensive.




The form factor is excellent and the proportions of the device are great. The VGA screen sits well within a unit which fits in the hand perfectly. It is light yet robust thanks to its outer coating that help in this regard.

The rubberised coating is practical and makes it even easier to hold.The front is dominated by a hard plastic covering which extends around each side of the screen and this creates a practical business like design.The buttons around the edges work well with volume and record keys on the left and the on/off and cameras keys on the right. The call start/end keys are good enough, but the main navigation key is a little strange and probably not one you will take to immediately.

It is better than it looks and works well once you are used to it so it is difficult to complain really.

The screen could be better in bright sunshine and I did struggle to view all that I need at times unless the brightness was up to full.The touch interface is excellent and feels natural from the first tap and this is good to see in any Windows Mobile device. It also suggests good things for the future as Microsoft pushes Windows Mobile 7 to market in an attempt to keep up with Apple.

A look at the memory screen was a slight concern with under 30MB ofprogram memory being available when first powered up. In the real world the Acer chugged along perfectly well and I witnessed nothing but good performance throughout my time with the device.




Video playback occurred with no stutters and even video files encoded at a high setting played as expected with fair enough sound quality through the supplied headphones. Music quality is very good, but only if you do not use the supplied headphones. As per usual every smartphone manufacturer appears to have a deal with headphone makers to not supply headphones that are worth keeping, but the practice is so common that it is barely worth a mention.

I spent some time testing Wi-Fi and GPS and again would rate both features positively. They both connected first time and I was particularly impressed with the Wi-Fi which held a connection quite a distance from the router which has not always been the case with previous mobiles of the league.

The camera is 3.0 MP auto-focus setup and is able to capture some good quality shots in decent lighting. The interface for the camera is quite easy to use and with practice this is a worthy addition. Similar thoughts surround the video camera which is useful for the ‘moment’, but you will not be using it for much else.

Dual SIM is the feature that stands the DX900 out from the rest and if it works we are looking at something very special. It works.

The ability to use two SIM cards at the same time is a huge bonus to people like me who have a SIM card provided by their employer and also a card for personal use. I tend to use my personal card for data and personal calls and my work card purely for calls and texts, and it is a pain having to carry 2 phones everywhere. It has become such a habit for me that it now feels normal to carry 2 phones and this goes a long way to negating the main benefit of a smartphone which is portability.

My main card achieved a full 3G lock which it cannot do in the iPhone and I was impressed with the overall signal quality coming from the Acer on both SIM cards after prolonged testing.

Call quality is decidedly average through the internal speaker, but the loudspeaker is excellent and produced little distortion at the highest volume setting. Few Windows Mobile phones have included good quality speakerphones so this is an added benefit for anyone who need the speaker facility more often than not.

There are many software touches included that enhance the Dual SIM functionality such as different ring tones for each incoming call and a delve beneath the surface will show up all of the features you could possibly need to customize the voice experience to your exact needs.

Overall, the Acer DX900 is a decent smartphone which is capable of producing a flexible and powerful user experience and this is backed up by the crisp VGA screen and better than average battery life.

Insight into Smartphones

Although smartphones are the "in" thing these days, people often wonder whether they should buy one or not. Gadget lovers even sometimes do not know the difference between the two and others are unaware of their existence.

Before buying one it is important to know the meaning of a smart phone. It is nothing but a mobile phone with a device that runs a multi-tasking operating system which is often developed by a different company than the one manufacturing it.

Smartphones have the ability to run many applications simultaneously, much like computers running Windows or Mackintosh operating systems. In addition to running multiple applications a smartphone can switch between applications. Some examples of smartphone operating systems are Symbian S60, Windows Mobile, Android, Palm, Blackberry OS, etc.

Advantages of Smartphones

The advantages of smartphones include the ability to download and install applications native to their OS. The normal feature phones on the other hand, lack this ability and in choosing to buy a normal phone you may be stuck with the built-in applications. Smartphones allow you to go beyond the Java applications unlike a regular phone that allows only Java.

Another advantage of a smartphone is that the native applications on smartphones have no such limitations. The developers have a clear idea about the devices that their applications will be installed on and hence write them in such a way that the application takes full advantage of the device hardware. Native applications have better access to the hardware than Java applications; thus, you can make them do a lot more, which is at times not possible on Java platforms.

Smartphones are no less than the computers that sit on your desks. They are capable of doing a lot more than you can imagine. Application support means that you don't have to rely on just the built-in applications in the phone and the limited functionality offered, but you can go on and add a lot more, such as support for more multimedia formats or support for office documents or an improved web browser than the one that is built-in. Most smartphones have support for Java applications, which increases the total number of applications substantially.

Disadvantages of Smartphones

But on the flipside there are certain things the consumers ought to know. Smartphones aren't essentially better than normal feature phones. The time when smartphones came into existence, they were powered by weak processors with very small memory. This rendered them distinctly weaker performers as compared to normal phones. With much more workload and weak hardware to handle it, smartphones earned a bad reputation for being slowcoaches.

Nokia 6600 was a good phone because it could do a lot as compared to its competitors during that period of time. But in the long run it proved to be a slow coach. Then there was some issue with viruses. The Symbian S60 OS also had its share of viruses. The virus would usually spread when files were transferred over Bluetooth. Slowdowns and sudden starts became a common feature. With S60's 3rd Edition; Nokia finally laid the virus problem to rest but some people still fear buying Symbian phones due to the fear of viruses.

The high power consumption is yet another problem with smartphones. Most smartphones in those days hardly managed to complete a day on a single charge. Smartphones were bulkier and much more expensive when they were initially introduced.Yet the user friendly features seen in the smartphones today make them a desirable buy. The heavy pocket factor applies both in the literal and real sense for the cost has not ceased to decline.

On the brighter side are the advanced features making possible better use of the high end applications.
