One of the key message from Mobile World Congress of 2010 is that Mobile operators around the world are joining hands to sort the fragmentation issue on mobile phones. Some of the world’s largestmobile operators have joined forces to launch this platform. once this platform is launched , this will create a so called wholesale application community. It will be able to combine 15 of the largest operators includingAmerica Movil, At&T, T-Mobile, KT, NTT Docomo, Orange, Telecom Italia, Telefonica, Telenor, Telesonera, Sprint.There are four more operators in the Joint Innovation Lab(JIL) mobile apps initiative Vodafone, China mobile, Softbank and Verizon wireless are also included. This group serves 3 billion mobile customers all over the world.
With all this development questions are being asked if all this development means rest of the world against Apple that has its own well established apps store. Handset manufacturers like Sony Ericsson, LG and Samsung who do not have a significant apps business yet are supporting this operators led initiative.
The operators alliance is planning to use both JIL and OMTP’sBONDI requirements initially and eventually evolving into a common standard within the next 12 months. It is not clear yet what it will do in terms of competition in apps business but it looks that it would address the so-called fragmented application market place. This initiative will also help operators to capture revenue generating apps business. It will be interesting to see how the developers who want to take advantage of this opportunity would re-adjust their development and marketing strategies before and after this opportunity is fully materialized in terms of the availability and finalization of the common standards.
We are back from Barcelona. It was really busy. For those who have not visited Barcelona this year, it was not sunny as usual. It was still very busy and full of excitement with new announcements from different big names from the industry. I will share some of my observations and views in the blogs over the next few days. In the mean time please enjoy some of the pictures from the show.
With Mobile World Congress approaching fast we are asking ourselves, what message we will expect in terms of future for Mobile industry in this show. Some analysts are certainly pointing out few trends like Smarter phones dumber pipes(network), phones becoming doctors with more hardware functionalities, money transfer through mobile phones beyond mobile banking, better battery technology andpeople sharing more personal information on mobile phones.Augmented reality that not many people are aware of just now can also play an important part in the early part of next decade.Question is how different players in the industry are going to respond to changes and new trends in their relevant sectors.
We have re-branded our Twitter mobile app to “Tweeter Mobile”. All you twitter mobile lovers will get a version update message on your twitter mobile app. We recommend you do update.
On the update note, we thank all twitter mobile users out there for their fabulous feedback and comments on numerous blogs and forums. We are working towards implementing as many feature requests as possible that we think will add the greatest value to the application. Please stay tuned for announcement on a version update with extra features and functionality. Also to be announced the Black Berry and Touch Screen version of Tweeter Mobile to be released soon.
Let us know what you think – we shall be releasing a developer site in the next few days where you can post questions on the forum. Or post a comment here.
TWUIK has been eagerly awaited by the mobile development community; we have not rushed this release as we wanted to get it right from the get-go.
TWUIK will be under constant development, we here at Tricast Media value any constructive comments and feedback that will help us improving what has already proven to be a valuable mobile development commodity.
BlackBerry developers - have you noticed how all BlackBerry applications have that kind of serious, business feel to them? Do BlackBerry users enjoy applications with graphically rich interfaces, providing engaging user experiences?
Yes?
Well we though so too. So we are making it a priority now to port TWUIK to BlackBerry.
Watch this space.
Ah well, guess I’ll just hire someone to walk my dog…
Do you remember when you were looking for some information you would have to go out into the rain and walk to a ‘Library’, and look at ‘Periodicals’, ‘Newspapers’ and ‘Books’ for hours, while a condescending 312 year old Bride-of-Dracula library assistant screamed “Silence!” at you every time you breathed or turned a page?
Do you remember having to ask your Mum permission to use the phone? If you actually had a phone that is…some of us didn’t you know.
I remember all these things, and I totally worship the computer age, the availability of information, and all this simple communication. Thank you ‘The internet’.
“Why?” I hear you ask, am I taking you all a stroll down Rememberry Lane?
Well it is all very simple really…It’s all about Twitter.
I will admit it took me a little time to buy into the whole Twitter thing (as it does for anything not associated with ‘real’ objects like books and telephones that weigh in at a cool 40 Kilograms (see the first paragraphs)) and when we started developing our own Twitter Mobile application I did feel that it may well just be a passing phase.
Of course the knowledge that I was wrong (again) cheered me up no end…but the fact is that Twitter is here to stay, and is anything but a simple fad, and that’s a good thing.
The fame that Twitter that has been vicariously granted through simply being used by the famous (well, we never stop hearing about them and their antics so its maybe the same thing) has created this Twitter Monster, so thank you Chris Moyles, Jonathan Ross and Stephen Fry, you are all forgiven.
Keeping this in mind we have decided, in our ineffable wisdom, that we will produce Twitter Mobile Version Two rather than upgrading Version One from Beta to General Release.
Why? Because Twitter is and is going to be HUGE! We are producing Version Two so that we can handle many, many more devices and give more of you guys out there a chance to download this wonderful, classy, and above all, free application; and with much, much more going on under the bonnet I can assure any potential Twitter Mobile Users out there that, no matter how outstanding Version One is, Version Two is going to be GREAT!
We would like to welcome anyone who wishes to subscribe to this blog, anyone who wishes to ask any questions, or indeed anyone who wishes to just jot down a comment or two for us to read.
We welcome all sorts of comments so please subscribe and let us know what you think, and include links to your blogs and websites also as I would like to read what you are up to as well.
You need not be Swiftian in your wit, nor Gatesian (if there indeed is such a thing) in your grasp of Technical know-how but please be assured that any questions or contributions that are made will be answered as soon as we (i.e. me) can answer them. With this in mind please make your comments sensible and clean (just imagine that your Granny is going to read them before you press the ’submit’ button). We shall be moderating this blog on a regular basis so your comments should appear fairly quickly.
That said I hope that we can start to develop a TWUIK based communtity and this is one of our goals - once we get TWUIK out there to you guys.
Last week saw the release of our newest mobile application in the ‘Lovely to look and lovely to use’ category. This was of course none other than the wonderful Twitter Mobile client.
See Twitter Mobile for the free (Yes! You heard me. It’s free!) download.
Now as we all know, thanks to such celebs as Robert Llewellyn (Anyone remember Red Dwarf? Its making a comeback y’know!), and Barack Obama, Twitter is the social networking tool. You can follow your friends (and the celebs) and find out what they are thinking and doing, or thinking about doing, without ever being called a stalker.
Which is nice.
But seriously, a lot of thought has went into the production of the Twitter Mobile application and it’s out there - so download it and let us know what you think.
We are also working hard on our Tricast Mail clients, of which our V1 has just been awarded Java certification (Hurrah!), which is good but is nothing on the V2 application which comes packed with all sorts of goodies and widgets.
Come visit us HERE and see what we’re all about and find out about our TWUIK SDK. More news of that in future blog entries…
We are happy to announce that Twitter Mobile Beta version is now available for all Sony Ericsson users. We are working hard to get the Nokia S60 and S40 device support released ASAP. We are aiming to support Motorola and Blackberry in the near future.
It has taken longer than expected in releasing V2 but we have been inundated with customer projects and work that internal product development had to be sidelined unfortunately.
Anyway we are back on track and hard at work putting the final touches to the release of Tricast Mail V2 and Twitter Mobile applications. We are targeting a release end of this month so remember to download your free copy when released. Play casino online.
More details on V2 and Twitter mobile to come soon but also to be announced is our ambitious roadmap of great applications to be launched this year so keep an eye on Tricatsmedia website.
Here is a snippet from an article of a recent interview with Igor Jablokov CEO of YAP (TWUIK Customer)…
“Independent of those activities, we are continually upgrading the client and are happy to be partnered with Tricastmedia (they are based in the UK); they allow our crazy visions for next generation visual user interfaces to be possible on low resource devices. By the time we are finished, a child will be able to open up their parent’s mobile phone, ask “why is the sky blue?” and we will answer them a second later. This dream of bringing all human knowledge to you within a single click makes all these late nights worth it…”
Check out our podcast with Sun Microsystems where Dr. Brian Lee and Dr. Salmon Ahmad give an in-depth insight on Tricastmedia, introducing TWUIK , Tricast Mail and covering our business model.
Winning this award, is a great recognition for the good folks at Tricastmedia and also a strong vote of confidence from the people in the industry that User Interface plays a big part in your application.
And to top this good news, our friends at Yap also won accolades for their Yap9 client (UI also created with TWUIK) as the audience picked them as the winner.
Excuse us for the hiatus, this blog has been looking pretty sparse since September, here’s proof that we have indeed been busily toiling away to bring you more cool UI examples… check out mika’s blog.
We have been nominated and chosen to present at the “Under The Radar - Mobile” (UTR) conference on 15th Nov ‘07. Matt Marshall of VentureBeat called Under the Radar the “American Idol competition for startups”… to be in the final is already an honor. We’d travelling to Mountain View, CA and would also stay there a couple of days for other business meetings. If you happen to be in the valley and want to meet up, just ping us.
UTR conferences showcase 32 of the most disruptive companies in a sector. We take a hands-on look at the true innovators fueling an explosion of emerging technology and new business opportunities. Each company demo’s their product to a panel of industry experts who are active in the sector, along with an audience of early-adopter technology insiders.
After weeks of preparation, the new website is finally ready. We launched it yesterday. There are a couple of new stuff other than just the new look. We have created a video gallery for you to browse all the TWUIK and Tricast Mail demos we have put up on YouTube. And also we are going to let you try out Tricast Mail LIVE, before you buy via an online emulator.
Just migrated to the latest WORDPRESS…. new blog theme coming up… new website to be launched soon… and watch this space for announcement of several major deals in the coming weeks… we are psyched.
You probably expected this. Yes, we had started Blackberry porting work. So far so good, it looks like we should be releasing a build pretty soon.
Another heartening news, we are going to announce another 30 devices to our list of supported devices, making it more than 100 JavaME phones capable of running TWUIK. Supported devices mean that we had actually tested and the tests passed our internal QA. As for Tricast Mail, another 32 devices would be added this month, surpassing the 100 target we set for ourselves. Announcement to come shortly. Check back a little while.
Finally… after weeks of preparation, we are all set, ready to go… if you are going to be there at the show, come see us at JavaONE - Booth 1218, Area: Mobility Village, Hall D, Moscone Center, North Hall.
It is no secret that I’m a big fan of conferences. I use them as both a great source of information and a great source of new conversations… 2007 marks an important year for Tricastmedia. We are going to be at JavaONE ‘07. And we’d be officially launching TWUIK. We have also submitted Tricast Mail and TWUIK for the Duke’s Choice Award.
Come visit us at our booth. Detail will be published later.
