Ban 02/13/2004 02:20 AM
On today's edition of the NPR program Morning Edition:

In 2001, New York became the first state to prohibit drivers from using hand-held cell phones. A new study indicates that New York drivers reduced their use of hand-held mobile phones by half a few months after the ban went into effect, but usage has since bounced back. Hear NPR's Bob Edwards and New York Assemblyman Felix Ortiz, who helped draft the ban.

Nokia joins with SD Card format

Nokia joins with SD Card format 09/14/2004 03:00 PM
The Inquirer is reporting that mobile manufacturer Nokia could be planning an imminent implementation of SD technology across its mobile phone range. Secure Digital (SD) technology is a data storage technology, allowing easy storage and transfer of files. The Inq, rather smugly, writes:

"As predicted back at Computex (here), Nokia stood a good chance of being left out on a limb by its insistence on using only MMC cards. As Timo Poikolainen, vp for technology marketing with Nokia was forced to admit, "They [SD cards] enable the smooth exchange of digital content among the wide range of SD-enabled devices on the market." Tellingly he also revealed that, "There is also increasing customer demand for SD Card technology in mobile devices."".

No word on what, or which, devices will gain SD technology. Nokia currently use MMC card technology on some products, an alternative flash memory type that doesn't have the wide-spread adoption enjoyed by SD. With greater uptake of camera phones and phones with mp3 players built in, the adoption of SD will undoubtedly be well received by end users. The Inq is also reporting that the flash memory market will be worth $15.9 billion in 2008.

Nokia Joins WWiSE 802.11n Group

Nokia Joins WWiSE 802.11n Group 03/14/2005 05:46 PM
Nokia has put its weight behind the WWiSE proposal: WWiSE and the competing TGn Sync consortium have a similar set of ideas, but WWiSE says that it's approach provides more optional extensions that will make it easier to have a subset of devices with room to grow in the future instead of burdening all devices with the load of meeting certain difficult-to-implement technologies. TGn Sync says, "Pshaw" to that. The 802.11n task group will vote next week during an IEEE meeting. If either proposal receives more than 50 percent of the votes, it will be accepted as the basis of drafts. Drafts require a supermajority of 75 percent to make changes, which means that if one proposal wins next week, it will be difficult to add or subtract much from it, but various technological improvements can still be made....

Quick-'n-Dirty methods to determine

Phone" or "Mobile Phone"?

Quick-'n-Dirty methods to determine
which competing label is better: "Cell
Phone" or "Mobile Phone"? 04/28/2004 11:39 AM

On the SIGIA-L mailing list, Stephanie Berger recently asked: "My cohorts are not sure whether to use "cell phone" or "mobile phone". Any evidence that one is better than the other, or one is used more often than the other?"

This is a good example of the kind of labeling questions information architects face all the time. The answer to these labeling questions will depend on the target audience (a better label for whom?), on business requirements (maybe the business want to promote one term over the other) and on the context in which the label will be used.

I'll discuss the conversation that followed here and afterwards point to some useful tools for if you have a labeling question yourself.

Andres Sulleiro: "Without any empirical data I will go with my own opinion. [...] A quick survey of the phone carriers seems to suggest that "wireless" (as in "wireless phone", "wireless customer") is most common among US carriers, though you see some references to "mobile" as well. T-mobile, a European company, uses "mobile" which is more common in Europe as well as being the name of the carrier."

Method: check what other websites call it.

Jason Cho: "I think "cell" is more widespread in the US as Andrés noted. "Call my mobile" can sound pretentious to Yankee ears. But I would think everyone understands the term "mobile" on a business card."

Method: personal experience.

Peter Van Dijck (and others): "Google for "cell phone" (including quotes): 6,230,000, Google for "mobile phone": 6,360,000. Looks like a tie, assuming your audience is similar. Just pick one and make sure your search engine knows both terms."
Christina Wodtke: "Y ahoo for cell phone : 16,800,000, yahoo for mobile phone: 21,200,000. What does this really tell you? you'd have to know who each engine indexes, how much of the web, etc.. better to use a magic 8 ball. ;-)"

Method: check popularity of the terms on the web.

Peter Van Dijck: "My next step would be to find out what people search for on your site,
or if not available, on the web (assuming that's more or less your audience). Google adwords can help."

Method: Find out what people (preferably your target audience) search for.

Dave: "I like "mobile" for the reason that Christina stated (forward compatibility); USers and non-USers will equally understand it. Also, it is more interoperable w/ most of the vCard based addressbook programs out there. I don't know any that are using "cell" or "cellphone" ... I also like the clear and easy two word approach of "mobile phone" ... I'm always wanting to say "cellphone" where "cell phone" is really the more correct version. "cell" though just doesn't feel like a real word b/c the "cell" doesn't fit a meaning to me. I know what it means if I am forced to think about it, but it really doesn't mean anything to me at all."

Method: personal experience, check what software programs use.

Christina Wodtke: "> As can Ove rture's keyword tool (couldn't find URL straight away).

You also might consider some adaptation of the freelisting technique on a subset of your target. E.G., a write in survey: what portable electronics do you own, then analyze for use of "cell phone" and mobile phone".

Method: freelisting technique.

Eric Reiss: "Having worked closely with several telecommunications companies, including Tellabs (US), Nortel (Canada), ADVA (Germany), and NetTest (Denmark), this discussion is one I've heard before. Europeans generally don't recognize the term "cell phone." North Americans seem to accept both "cell" and "mobile." ATT insists on promoting the term "wireless." In most instances, we've agreed on the word "mobile" since it is understood by the widest audience. Nortel, for instance, used "cell" almost exclusively until the late 90s, but now leans toward "mobile." I think there is a trend here."

Method: ask the subject matter experts.

Pabini Gabriel-Petit: "There's also Wordtracker.
[...]
In this vein, you might try just walking up to people, holding up your cell/mobile phone, and asking them what they call it."

Method: Analyze what people search for.

Method: Find out what labels your users use.

Quick-'n-Dirty methods to determine which competing label is better.

So, as a review, here are some of the methods used to determine which label is better.

1. What do you think?
Method: personal experience/insights.

2. What do your users think?
Method: freelisting technique.
Method: Find out what labels your users use: show them the item you're trying to label and ask them what it is. (You could build an online tool for this).
Method: Find out what people (preferably your target audience) search for / check popularity of the terms on the web. Ove rture's keyword tool. Google adwords. Wordtracker. Google and Yahoo both list how often a term is used on the web (use quotes around your terms!).

3. What do the experts think?
Method: ask the subject matter experts.
Method: check what other websites/software call it.

Gotcha's: be careful when using these techniques. You are looking for a label that works for your audience and your business requirements. Most of these techniques use audiences that may be very different from yours, and most are indicative only (ie: they're not hard science). Use your judgement.
