Do People Want A Mobile Phone Directory?

Do People Want A Mobile Phone Directory? 08/31/2004 03:37 PM
There's been a lot of talk over the last few months about the potential for a mobile phone directory. Many in the industry have been pushing for it, though, consumers fear for their privacy. Already sick of telemarketers on their landlines, they don't want to start receiving such calls on their mobile phones as well. Those supporting the directory want to set it up so that you can only request the number based on a name, rather than get your hands on the entire directory -- which, in theory, should eliminate the type of phonebook dialing that many telemarketers engage in. Of course, it just takes one screwup allowing the directory to get out there, and it won't matter any more. The other part of the debate has been over whether such a directory should be opt-in or opt-out. The folks behind it have done a very odd sort of agreement on this, suggesting they could make it "opt-in," but that you will have to pay if you don't want to be included. In other words, a new fee could simply start showing up on your bill, and the way to get rid of it, would be to give out your mobile phone number. The latest in this ongoing debate is a new study suggesting that 52% of users would opt-in to such a directory if it had some privacy protection (just what kind of protection is not described and could make a huge difference). 11% would opt-in even without privacy protection. Of course, the study was done by a company who provides consulting services for the directory assistance industry -- so you have to imagine they have some bias. A big new directory makes it more likely someone will hire them.

Why Do People Want To Watch TV On A
Mobile Phone?

Why Do People Want To Watch TV On A
Mobile Phone? 02/19/2004 02:17 PM
I've been asking for a while now, why would anyone want to watch TV on their mobile phones as it reminds me of those portable TVs that were (barely) sold in the 80s and never went anywhere. Add to that, ridiculously slow frame rates, and you have to wonder why anyone bothers. However, Sprint is claiming that they have "steady demand" for their MobiTV offering, which lets people watch TV in slide-show fashion (between 1 and 2 frames per second). Peter Lewis, from Fortune Magazine, decided to test out the service and has a less than kind review of the service. After using it for a while, he says: "The hard part is answering the question, Why?" He concludes that the "experience is basically like watching a tiny, blurry slide show, with lousy sound." Sounds compelling. However, some people seem to be using it, and as the technology gets better, Sprint (and others) expect more people to be staring at their mobile phone screens all the time. I can maybe see it catching on for live events (sporting events, live reality TV possibly, major breaking news...) but other than that, I really do wonder if people will really go for this, or if it's just a fad (like the portable TVs in the 80s). Especially with the ability of TiVo to record shows that you want to see when you're out and about, there are fewer reasons why someone needs to be watching TV right this very second. Thus, the only remaining use is to kill time while you're waiting for something - and TV in its 30 minute increments isn't the greatest solution for trying to kill five minutes.

Here's another Iraq war video. This one appears to be a strike on a group of people walking down a street in Fallujah. Does anyone else have more information on this video? Has it been aired on any TV network?

If they are civilians, it's quite disturbing. The "aw dude" in the audio doesn't seem like a very appropriate reaction.

Cory Doctorow: The COO of 3, a European 3G wireless company, has uttered one of the stupidest things ever said by a phone company executive (there's a field with some stiff competition!). In justifying his company's decision to censor the Internet services delivered over its wireless link (they're only allowing customers to access certain, selected services, rather than providing a fast wireless pipe that customers can use as they see fit), this loonytune has this to say:

'People don't want open access, that's not what our customers tell us they want,' he said. 'Anyone in their right mind who tries to do anything on the Internet with a screen that size has to be nuts.'

Lest we forget, Sprint announced another new video phone on Wednesday, the VM4050 from Toshiba (which is actually made by Audiovox). Like Sanyo's VM4500, the VM4050 uses Sprint's new Video Mail service for sending 15 second clips to friends, and also has a 260,000 color internal display, a 65,000 color external display, and a built-in VGA quality digital camera with a 2x optical zoom lens. When do we get to make actual video calls with these things rather than just send short clips? Read...

Cell phone with onboard video projector 04/14/2005 10:38 AM
David Pescovitz: My latest article for TheFeature is about the development of a mobile phone with an integrated laser projector:

"Mobile phone designers are faced with a paradox," says Siemens user interface researcher Alexander Jarczyk. On one hand, users clamor for smaller, thinner devices. But in the same breath, they scream for bigger screens. With the proliferation of mobile Internet applications, the problem is only going to get worse. Screen real estate is at a premium and designers are hustling to develop new territory, from flexible displays that roll up to zoomable user interfaces. For Jarczyk and his colleagues, though, the world itself is a mobile display. All you need is a projector that fits in your pocket.

Honey, Did You Remember to Call the DVD Recorder?

"The machine has a 400GB hard disk drive, is capable of zapping video elsewhere in a home, and is designed to let consumers program recording remotely over the Internet--including via cell phones. The new product, dubbed the DMR-E500H, and related devices with smaller hard drives, are slated to be available in Japan beginning Sept. 21....

Panasonic said the DMR-E500H offers high-speed dubbing from its hard disk drive onto DVD-RAM and DVD-R discs. The machine can record a 1-hour program onto a DVD-R disc in just 56 seconds, according to Panasonic.

The product comes with an Ethernet port and a broadband receiver, Panasonic said. With the Ethernet connection, MPEG4 video and JPEG photos can be viewed on a PC in another room, the company said...." [CNET News.com]

I soooo want one of these. Here's the relevant paragraph for us, though:

"Bob O'Donnell, analyst at research firm IDC, said making programming choices may not be appealing on the small monochrome cell phone screens common in the United States. But things are different in Japan, he said. 'It's totally possible with the 2-inch, flip-phone cell-phone color screens,' he said. 'In Japan, everybody has those.' "

It's the money paragraph because it's a lot easier to do things on Japanese handheld devices than on those we use here in the U.S. So features like reading ebooks, listening to music, and watching video are more viable services there. Of course, that type of quality and functionality will eventually hit our shores, and these types of devices and services will have an impact on library services and user expectations.

Rave for the Deaf

Rave for the Deaf 04/14/2004 10:31 AM
BoingBoing reader Charles Vestal says:

A East London dance club held an all-deaf rave, featuring signing-karaoke, deaf rap, a standup comdian, and all the pumping basslines they could handle. Problem was, the lights were flashing so much, no one could chat with each other at the bar. Perhaps they should hook up with this guy to get a more moving experience.
