Mobile Phone Program - "Save Jimmy!"
01/05/2005 04:34 AMKiller 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. [PRWEB Jan 5, 2005]

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.

w to Make Money with Digital Lifestyle Aggregators - Part I
"We call it digital lifestyle aggregation and it's based upon a
number of assumptions - first and foremost being 'provide compelling
experiences to your end-users.' That said - here's what you can do to
deliver these oft sought after compelling experiences....
1. Integration. The secret to making things easy to use is in
providing an integrated environment where built-in constructs (such as
IM, image gallery or friends network) provide all the functionality
end-users expect. We call these 'commodity features' and satisfying
end-user's expectations as to what software should be - is what it's
all about. These features have to be taken for granted and assumed to
be there - everywhere - all the time. Even this nascent AO Zaibatsu
system provides built-in friends networks to learn and leverage off
of. And they have to be as easy to use as saving off a file or turning
up the volume.
In the future ALL software products and services will have built-in
digital camera support, cell phone gateways, universal messaging,
real-time presence management, personal publishing, social networking
and oh - did we forget to say - web services? But most will just
patch-quilt on these functional modules, never thinking through how an
integarted approach can not only make it easy to use and viable, but
also achieve an elegant design result, which then causes all sorts of
OTHER things to happen!
By providing an integrated environment with lots of great things
for people to do, it becomes instantly more accessible and viral. By
pre-wiring all of these applications and services - so that they work
seamlessly together - OH MY GOD - you just may yet end up with a
series of compelling experiences - 'cause heaven forbid - maybe not
ALL of our end-users are the same....
2. Aggregation. Do you realize that the digital downloading
universe expects end-users to listen to ONLY the songs they download
from one vendor on their jukeboxes? That it's impossible to mix and
match music you've bought from multiple vendors? That's like only
being able to play CDs you bought from Tower Records on your CD
player! Apple also prevents you from loading music from more than one
machine at a time - so you're out of luck if you have two or more
machines.
That's the world we're in today.
RSS News aggregators are becoming understood (you can subscribe to
me here at AO Zaibatsu for instance or at my other blog - @
blog.canter.com) so what happens when we can start to aggregate other
things as well? Like our digital identity or other forms of expression
besides blogs?...
Aggregation is a killer app - that no one owns. It's public domain.
Everyone benefits from it. So is integration as well.
3.
Customization. So now let's combine Integration and Aggregation with
end-users intense desire to have their software do what THEY want it
to do. To have the software adapt to their appropriate usage level
(beginner, average or advanced), their sex, age, demogarphics - even
their location....
This is all happening - but it's all happening as SEPARATE web
servcies or web apps....
I'm sorry to tell you this guys - but that doesn't work. You need
more than just a single feature to acheive the oft sought after
'compelling experience" we started this post with. To start to reap
the benefits of digital lifestyle aggregation - you need to get smart
about architecting systems that rely upon XML, open standards and web
services.
So personalization and customization find their destiny intermixed
with Integration and Aggregation. The only way to produce compelling
enough experiences is by integrating a wide range of built-in
constructs, combining that with aggregated web servcies and content
and topping it all off with unprecedented levels of control and
customization. In one product or service." [AlwaysOn, via T
he Doc Searls Weblog]
A long excerpt, I know, but even though the author focuses on
commercial applications, revenue streams, and open source software,
it's worth reading through this in the context of libraries.
I've said before that aggregation is a killer app, one well-suited
to libraries and the kind of information to which we provide access.
External projects such as LibraryLookup bring home hard the need for our products
to very quickly adapt to web services and XML back-ends. And now we're
seeing another big push for integration in our industry - federated
searching, OpenURL and SFX resolvers, and statewide union
catalogs are good examples of this.
So what would aggregation, integration, and personalization mashed
together in one app, designed from the ground up to work
together, look like in the library world? Would *that* be our version
of the killer app?

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.

Mark Cuban, DVD killer
09/17/2004 11:56 AM
Xeni Jardin:
Dallas Mavs and HDNet owner Mark Cuban has an interesting blog entry
today on the future of DVDs and PVRs:
I love looking for ways to screw up conventional wisdom. Right now in
the entertainment world, the conventional wisdom is that both sides on
the HD DVD vs Blue Ray DVD will battle it out and a standard for HD on
DVD will emerge. No one is trying to rush to a compromise because the
big media companies want to squeeze as much money as they possibly can
out the current DVD business cycle.
Good. The longer it takes, the less chance any format of DVD has of
having a place in the future of home entertainment. Don’t look now,
but the price and size of hard drives have fallen like a rock, while
capacities have soared, with no slowdown in site.
Which leads to the question — What is the best way to distribute
content? DVDs which will be limited in capacity to 9.4gbs on a single
DVD for another year, and then after that 50gbs on a single disk for
years to come after that, or rewritable media that can hold 2gb
already in a device half the size of a pen, or in a hard drive that
can hold 200GBs plus in a drive the size of your cell phone?
