Talk given at Future of Mobile London 2012 about the journey from a developer to an entrepreneur and from an idea to a market.

A brief examination of the psychology and motivations for hanging art on the walls inside our homes. From an "evolutionary biological" point of view, it serves no purpose.

Overview of where we are and where we're headed with using mobiles as computers rather than voice machines. Includes mention of possible Mobile 3.0 memes.

Rich mobile applications will be enabled by trends toward persistent and real-time web applications on mobile devices. Key trends include widgets and offline storage allowing persistence; push notifications and COMET for real-time updates; browser APIs exposing device functionality to JavaScript; and social and cloud computing moving data and services to the web. These trends will allow web applications to react to asynchronous events and integrate with telephony, messaging, and social media, improving the mobile user experience.

The document discusses augmented reality (AR) and augmented virtuality (AV) technologies. It notes that AR was proposed as early as the 1990s but is now growing with the adoption of smartphones which can serve as AR devices. Emerging platforms for mobile AR are mentioned like Wikitude, Junaio and Layar. The document predicts that within the next 3 years, AR will grow significantly as smartphones become the main AR device, dominant AR platforms will emerge, AR will be integrated into social networks and games, and AR will be used to enhance venues and events.

This 3 sentence summary provides an overview of the key details and purpose of the document: The document is an architect's guide to rich mobile applications written by Paul Golding, who has extensive experience in mobile technology and applications development since 1990 including designing the first mobile internet portal and working as Motorola's Chief Applications Architect. The guide discusses mobile web evolution and rich mobile applications, providing information on real-time web user experience for mobile. Golding draws on his experience developing mobile apps on every continent working with operators, vendors, startups and venture capitalists.

This document summarizes Paul Golding's presentation on mobile technology trends at the 2010 Eduserv Symposium. It discusses the evolution from Mobile 1.0 to Mobile 2.0, highlighting increasing processing power, usability and productivity of mobile devices. It also notes the proliferation of smartphones and growing mobile internet and app usage. Golding argues that mobile is becoming "everyware" and transforming how people organize their lives and interact in real-time through their devices. He envisions a future of augmented reality and an "Internet of Things" where most digital services are mobilized.

This document summarizes key insights from presentations and discussions at a Mobile IQ conference in New York on January 19, 2012 and an upcoming conference in Paris on January 24, 2012. It discusses how mobile commerce is growing rapidly and becoming a game changer, especially with the rise of tablets. However, many prestige brands have been slow to develop robust mobile strategies, with most focusing only on apps that lack functionality. To succeed, brands need to focus on optimizing their mobile sites and commerce capabilities across all devices. Competence in mobile may indicate a brand's ability to grow globally and tap into emerging markets.

"Mobile first," is a concept that serves us well as a design tool, putting constraints on our messaging, layout, etc. But to use "mobile first" as a complete mobile strategy can lead to some dangerous lines of thought. There's a bigger picture that needs to be seen, and it's what we've always done when developing experiences for the web. We need to put the "Experience First." Then we can think about "mobile", "desktop", "lean-back", and whatever other technologies are released in the next several years. It's not about devices, it's about users and experiences. Presentation first given at BarCamp Nashville in October of 2011.

The document discusses proximity and location technologies on mobile devices. It notes that while location services have seen widespread adoption in recent years, proximity has not yet been as widely used due to difficulties developers have faced in integrating proximity features. However, the presenter argues that if proximity technologies like Bluetooth can be made as easy for developers to work with as location APIs are now, it could unleash similar innovation in proximity-based applications and use cases. Several initiatives aimed at simplifying proximity development are also mentioned.

Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to transform how people access and share information by overlaying digital content on the real world through mobile devices. The document discusses key challenges and opportunities for AR, including improvements needed in mobile processing power, screen size, GPS locating speed, network bandwidth, tools/APIs, and monetization methods, in order for AR to reach its full potential. It also introduces Senscape, a Chinese startup focused on developing AR browser and platform technologies.

Mobile-first is a simple idea with big implications: digital products should be designed for mobile first. Not the other way around. These are the slides for my 12 minute presentation at IA day 2012. Just a quick introduction to the mobile-first concept. Props to Luke Wroblewski and Brad Frost. I got most of the stuff in this presentation from their presentations and blogs.

Businesses are looking to leverage social media as a way to gain deeper insight into what customers want and get feedback on how to improve the customer experience, while also attempting to navigate and utilize these same platforms for internal communication and creativity. Jeremy Cooper will share his insights on how cloud computing can bring together industry leading cloud platforms like Google, Facebook and Twitter with traditional contact center channels like phone, email and chat to capture every conversation and leverage every community expert in the cloud. He will also demonstrate how consumer driven sites have shown companies a smarter way to collaborate, leveraging ease-of-use and social features to create rich user experiences and improve productivity.

This document discusses approaches to designing products for the Internet of Things (IoT). It outlines three approaches: designing to extend existing devices, designing to comfort by augmenting devices with connectivity, and designing to disrupt by developing new interaction models. It argues that successful IoT products will be "soft, not slow" - focusing on user delight through thoughtful designs that engage users differently than traditional gadgets. Retail and investment aren't fully ready, but consumers are increasingly open to new types of connected products.

Mobile social networking was growing rapidly in 2009, with mobile users surpassing non-mobile users. However, users faced issues with fragmentation across different social networks and platforms, lack of control over their privacy and data, and uncertainty about how networks and data would evolve. Service providers also grappled with determining the right metrics for innovation, engagement, and monetization strategies in the emerging mobile space. The future was predicted to see everything become more social and location-based on mobile, though consolidation or an open social web approach remained possible outcomes.

The document discusses lessons for mobile device manufacturers from the market strategies of popular devices like the iPhone, Blackberry, Zune, and Palm Pre. It distinguishes between "compound" devices that are tightly integrated into external software ecosystems and "elemental" devices that are standalone physical objects. Compound devices like the iPhone and Blackberry create dedicated long-term user bases through unique software, while elemental devices like the Razr are more disposable. To succeed, new devices need to integrate with pre-existing software ecosystems or release complementary software simultaneously.
