Killer Mobile Releases Controversial
Mobile Phone Program - "Save Jimmy!" 01/05/2005 04:34 AM
Killer Mobile (killermobile.com), a mobile phone software development company released what is quickly becoming a controversial program targeted at young, tech savvy men - a program aptly titled "Save Jimmy". Save Jimmy is a program that can run on any MIDP 2.0 compliant mobile phone that allows the user to input specific information on their significant other's menstrual cycle and in turn receive daily alerts as well as view a calendar with information regarding which days are "Safe" to not use a condom.

The Next Mobile Killer App

The Next Mobile Killer App 02/01/2005 08:35 PM

The first killer-app for mobiles is the phone calls.  I believe static downloadable audio contents such as music, audio books, and podcasts will be the next killer-app. Only design problem is sharing one battery for both critical (phone calls) and casual (listening to audio) uses which calls for smarter power management and more powerful batteries.

Great user experience and clever hardware design is where Apple excels at so I expect Apple to introduce iPod phones within a year or two at the latest.

Unfortunately, screen-based applications and dynamic audio contents, driven by voice browser technologies, will continue to struggle in the near future due to tedious user experience.  Mobile killer apps must be available at the user's fingertip, not hidden behind a wall of patience.

Data Overload: The Hidden Killer

Data Overload: The Hidden Killer 11/19/2003 08:11 AM
Well, the latest internet/computer related illness we all have to worry about is New Economy Depression Syndrome which comes complete with the nice acronym NEDS. According to this article it can "cause anxiety, fatigue, difficulty in making decisions or concentrating, sleep disturbances, loneliness and isolation." It's not, as you might think from the name, felt by those who got slammed financially when the bubble burst, but by those who can't keep up with all the information available to them. It's the classic information overload problem. The concept of NEDS, though, was first created by the guy who wrote that classic of pop business books, The Killer App Is Love. Now he's paid someone do some studies for him to prove that NEDS isn't just a figment of his own imagination. The results seem to show some correlation, but doesn't do much to prove causation.

Take Me Home, I'm Drunk: The Killer App
For Mobile Phones?

Take Me Home, I'm Drunk: The Killer App
For Mobile Phones? 04/16/2004 06:32 PM
The BBC is reporting on a new prototype piece of software designed for some students for smart phones that would act as a "student companion" of sorts. It apparently has a variety of features (not very many of which are described in the article) to help with both academic and social lives. Of course, the feature that (not surprisingly) gets the most attention is an application called "Take Me Home, I'm Drunk" which, when started, calls a taxi company and notifies them of the student's location - and their home address. People have always said that it would be the vices such as porn and gambling that became the "killer app" for mobile phones. Now, perhaps, we can add alcohol to that list as well.

Killer Mobiles for Killer Apps

Killer Mobiles for Killer Apps 02/01/2005 08:35 PM

Continuing my series on mobile platforms, I now think killer mobile apps need mobile devices designed like game consoles, meaning that it has one or two slots for application cartridges.  Each cartridge contains one or more applications.  Cellphones would come with a built-in cartridge containing the phone app as well as others.

Adding a cartridge adds new apps.  Applications have two modes: running and stopped.  The Next-App button (aka Appy button) activates (brings to front) each running apps in turn.  Some apps can activate itself when an event fires (phone call received).  To see the list of available apps, keep the Next-App button pressed for a second.

Eventually, app cartridges will be advance to become platform cartridges, taking over the full functionality of the mobile device to offer better application platform services than the one that came with the device (i.e. easy to use app download service that auto-configures apps for your device).  If you don't like the built-in calender, just stop it and run a third-party calendar instead.
