Mobile wellness management 2007-01-30 21:39:19
Nokia Research Center has a new interesting application for those who want to follow their wellness. Application is called the Wellness Diary.
When asked about wellness, we tend to focus on our weight, because it is so easy to pinpoint and measure. This free mobile phone application brings total lifestyle management to the terminology of wellness. You can track just about everything you do with it like calendar appointments, sleeping, exercising, eating, weight, blood pressure… etc.
Now you are able to get a grip on your daily and long-term life and analyze your habits to the detail. This is a good tool for people who are trying to make a change in their lifestyle. You can also get a lot more out of relationships with doctors and personal trainers, as they can get detailed information of your health and lifestyle. Read more:Mobile
Mobile games for women 2007-01-28 12:36:41
Women gamers have been the stone of Midas in game industry for as long as games have existed. Interestingly enough only the other sex seems to be interested in games and the other does something else to fill their schedules.
Over the years, many game companies have been established to tap this unused market demographic - women gamers. Equally many have failed, exited the market all together or steered towards men again.
Now we have another contender that is going after the women money. Actually this is no new kid on the block, instead GOSUB 60 was founded year 2003 and they boast with a team that has over 50% of women workers.
Here at brand mobile phones, we think that it is a smart move to go after women gamers via mobile phones. Women love their shiny mobile phones and everybody has one. This is not the case with women and computers. GOSUB 60 combines the benefits of platform and market niche. If they execute their plans well, we just might have a winner.

Nokia's fools gold 2007-01-25 22:57:54 Nokia
will soon shine like a diamond, only it won’t be diamond but a new material that mimics the shine of diamonds. Nokia has found a way to combine plastic and coal in a manner which produces hard and shiny surface. Say goodbye to those hideous painted plastic cases, which try to pass as steel or some other real material. Expect to see some cool looking mobile phones coming from Nokia, and they will be dirt cheap, because it’s not real thing but fools’ thing, eh… bling.
Nokia shines 2007-01-25 22:56:02 Nokia
did well during the year 2006. They sold more mobile phones with lower prices but with better profit margins. It looks like Nokia’s product slate can hang in the predatory market climate that eats the poor. One trick ponies like Motorola’s RAZR aren’t just cutting it anymore. However it looks like Nokia’s high-end models aren’t doing the trick either as growth in multimedia segment was dissapointing. Secret to the success, good technology, focus on growing markets and crushing cost control.

These are the ingredients for amazing staying power, however they still need that spearheading generation phone that will get people talking. It has been a while since Nokia had one of those babies.

Greystripe signs a partnership 2007-01-21 18:52:14
Greystripe, the company that I just recently noticed in my radar just signed a partnership
with Asian mobile community myGamma. This move makes lot of sense, because myGamma can extract more revenue from their 1,5 million mobile users and Greystripe is a one more step closer to gaining critical mass for their ad serving mobile game network. We might be witnessing the birth of a new mobile game business model.

Greystripe 2007-01-19 23:09:23
Advertising network and mobile game distributor in one - Greystripe. This company takes ready games and bundles them with ads that advertisers have paid for. Rock solid business logic they present here. Operators and foreign partners have an opportunity to jump-start a complete service. Big chunk of games is also easier to sell than few thousand pound gorillas. Watch Greystripe as possible survivor of mobile game wars.

Next generation Nokia N-Gage 2007-02-07 21:55:21
Fascinating rumors are circulating around net. No, forget the rumors, this is news that we are dealing with here. Official N-Gage blog tells us that more and more publishers are lining up to the ranks of companies, which support coming generation of N-Gage gadgets. This comes quite soon after the announcement of platform discontinuation.
It is also peculiar that Nokia
firmly denies that they are preparing new N-Gage platform. Maybe this time the faceless marketing staff at Nokia is able to mull enough street level support and credibility for the platform that it won't crash land on its face after take-off. Anyway, we are also writing about N-Gage even it is dead, so looks like they are doing a good work on rallying the market enthusiasm, but in this, Apple they are not.
Symbian fights back 2007-02-24 21:25:10
Blazing hot insights about mobile phone industry from Nigel Clifford, the CEO of Symbian
(sure he is puffing up his comp, but you know how to read news anyway). Nigel was interviewed by Finnish finance newspaper Taloussanomat.
Importance of software will grow in the mobile phone sector, Nigel claims. He is right of course. It is like saying that in the future people want to have more mobile services.
Platforms are going to be more important because that enables mobile operators to cut costs because there will be less features to be taken care of from the service side.
Nigel believes that openness will give the needed advantage for Symbian over Windows Mobile. I wouldn’t be so sure though, those enterprise users sure love their familiar Windows experience. Actually this makes me wonder, what if Symbian would be used to run PCs? In many countries, mobile phones are actually the gateway drug to information society.
Market share battle is raging harder than ever, because just in fe

Interesting news coming from Nokia
. Blog enthusiasts will be treated with interactive travelling experience. Peter Schindler will maintain a blog while travelling in China. Peter’s weapon of choice will be Nokia’s new N95, a brilliant multimedia gadget also some other Nseries phones will be used.
This approach will no doubt gather interest all over the blogosphere, although it is still a tad too calculated effort to gain mass following as some kind of special novelty. However, this shows us that travelling is coming more and more shareable activity, which mostly likely will lead into extensive holiday reporting. This bonfire of travel industry need internet connected camera phones to fuel the flame. Good times are coming for multimedia mobile phones.
One million downloads 2007-07-29 05:55:25
So many downloads is a big deal, yeh? In games industry, gold and platinum should mean something else beside production phases. Glamour comes with milestones in sales 100,000 and 500,000 or 1,000,000. These are the things to report and overglow across the web. Mobliss is doing the right thing by coming out and putting this message of one million

Motorola projects a projector 2007-07-29 05:28:37
Lately Motorola
has been mostly KonKerned with naming their basic phone line differently. As old truth points, it is quite insane to keep on doing the same old and waiting for new results. However, it hasn’t really been the catchy names but the clumsy phones they churned to markets. Evidently it is time for Motorola to strike back with a flair of product innovation.
Motorola has signed an agreement with Microvision to develop a Pico Projector Display for mobile applications. Smart move because Motorola is in desperate need for new quimmick now that their RAZR pony doesn’t sell anymore. By using Microvision’s ready technology this new products time-to-market should be relatively short. Christmas market anyone?
What about battery time? We all hate Nokia for various reasons, but short batterytime is not among them. Everybody hates Motorola because of their wheeble batteries. Now that this power hungry projector is placed inside a sleek “MOTR-phone“, what wi
Nokia R&D in India 2007-08-01 17:14:08
Sourcing came first, then it was manufacturing and now it is time for research and design. Nokia
is opening its’ first design studio in India
.
For the longest time, strategic business development mantra has been that China does manufacturing and India does designing. For the most part it has been true just in case of China, which is a huge manufacturing country. India on the other hand hasn’t really gripped its’ supposed role on world market arena, but is now picking up.
Business tends to shift in cycles. It used to be profitable for companies to move manufacturing to cheap labour cost countries. This wave has passed and now it is a norm on any business field on which physical product is part of the complete service. Now we will see increased investment on R&D diversification around the globe.
All these moves are for the good of brand, because if foreign investments earn money, that money can be used to further develop business and win competition. I bet we will see more dro
Armani dresses up Samsung 2007-07-31 03:21:23
I wonder why big mobile phone brands would like to cooperate with design brands? All of the benefit seems to go for the design company in guestion. LG did it with Prada and everybody were touting the beautiful design and good product specifications. It was an expensive phone so ofcourse it had nice specs, but what set it apart in design was more or less all black colouring, which could have been done by LG alone. Prada smoooooothly collected all acclaim.
Usually brands work so that they invest money into developing their own brand and not pouring money into others’ brands. Therefore if one needs to introduce new concept it is usually done under different name like Nokia did with Vertu and Toyota did with Lexus. Now another Asian mobile phone manufacturer is at it. Samsung
wants to team up with Armani
to create an exclusive (this is the magic word and magic is done by adding e.g. all black colouring, special leather case, copyrighted ringtone by Sting and beuatiful hard paper box
Mobile manufacturer wars 2007-08-19 02:55:06
International competition among biggest mobile phone brands gets tougher and tougher. Nokia’s near dominance of the market presents steep hurdles for other mobile phone brands. Cooperation is the solution for this problem.
Today almost every mobile brand is introducing phones that have some sort of cooperative aspect in them, we recently wrote about Samsung, it has become impossible for mobile phone companies to survive on their own.
Alliances divide mobile phone manufacturers into groups, which won’t mix. Therefore every company are trying to grap the best partners and try to tie them into exclusive partnership. Popular internet services are the latest battleground, now that mobile phones are reaching true internet capabilities. Google, Yahoo!, Youtube, Flickr, Facebook and others are now pawns in open strategic cooperation war.
