  • 1Understanding Android
    1 Understanding Android In mobile device terms, the word Android can refer to either an Android device or to the Android operating system. In very simple terms, an Android device is any device that runs the Android operat- ing system. You might also encounter androids from science fiction films and books, which are robots that resemble people, but that’s not the type of Android I discuss in this book. You don’t need to understand what Android is or how it works to use it. You can simply turn your device on and start pressing buttons and tapping icons and you’ll probably get along just fine. That approach worked just fine for my 3-year-old daughter; she figured it out pretty quickly, much to my dismay. But in case you want a small peek behind the Android curtain, this chapter is for you . Introducing the Android Operating System Android is the operating system that powers all Android devices. Much like how the Windows operating system powers laptop and desktop computers, or Apple’s iOS (formerly known as the iPhone OS) powers iPhones and iPads. Think of it as the underlying software that instructs your device what to do. When you install an Android app onto an Android device, you are installing an app that was written spe- cifically for the Android operating system. You can’t install a Windows app on an Android device, and you can’t install an Android app onto a Windows computer. Actually, that last part isn’t exactly true. You actually can install Android apps onto a Windows computer — and even on Macs and Linux PCs, for that matter — but only if the computer is running a special piece of software called an Android emulator, which creates a virtual Android device on your computer.

    ← Distimo iOS App Update: Publications, Ad Tracking, Metrics and More Leo’s Fortune Follows Monument Valley, Generates Over 50% of Total Revenue in First 7 Days → Kik Messenger Remains a Contender in Messaging App Space Posted on May 14, 2014 by Scott Reyburn It’s been a wild year so far in the global mobile messaging app space. With many more months left in 2014, the dust has yet to settle on the messaging app battlefield. Major messaging app players have been acquired, funded or added a significant amount of new features in 2014. In February, Japanese Internet giant Rakuten acquired messaging app provider Viber Media for $900 million. A few days later, Facebook purchased mobile messaging service WhatsApp for $19 billion. The following month, U.S. IPO-bound Albiaba from China led the latest round of funding for messaging service Tango, investing $215 million of the $280 million in the round. In early May, ephemeral photo messaging startup Snapchat added a text chat component to its mobile app. The new text messaging feature put Snapchat in the same realm as messaging app juggernauts such as Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. One messaging app that has kept developing new features is Kik Messenger from Watlerloo, Ontario-based Kik Interactive. We flipped through estimated downloads data from Distimo AppIQ to benchmark Kik’s Sign up Sign in current foothold in theAnalytics messaging appAppIQ space.

  • Taxonomy of Mobile Web Applications from a Taxonomy and Business Analysis for Mobile Web Applications
    Chapter 3: Taxonomy of Mobile Web Applications from A Taxonomy and Business Analysis for Mobile Web Applications By Kevin Hao Liu Ph.D. Computer Science Victoria University Submitted to the System Design and Management Program in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Management and Engineering At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology February 2009 © 2009 Kevin H Liu. All rights reserved The author hereby grants to MIT permission to reproduce and to distribute publicly paper and electronic copies of this thesis document in whole or in part in any medium now known or hereafter created. ABSTRACT Mobile web applications refer to web applications on mobile devices, aimed at personalizing, integrating, and discovering mobile contents in user contexts. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of mobile web applications by proposing a new taxonomy for mobile web applications, and conducting a business analysis in the field of mobile web applications. The thesis reviews the current surrounding environment for mobile web applications, namely, web 2.0 and 3.0, wireless communication technology, and Smartphone platform. The recent entry and success of Apple’s iPhone greatly enhanced the public awareness of the Smartphone technology. Google’s release of open-source Android platform and T-Mobile’s deployment of Android-powered “Dream” Smartphone not only intensify the competition among suppliers, but also provide an open-source foundation for mobile web applications. This thesis introduces a new mobile web application taxonomy to systematically study the values and the groupings of the mobile web applications. By introducing features and categories, the taxonomy provides a framework so the related companies and businesses can be comparatively analyzed and summarized.

Summary Performance In general, GCA Savvian’s wireless indices reflected the broader markets’ struggles in Q1: our wireless carrier index was off 31% while our mobile content and integrated wireless / wireline indices were in line with the Nasdaq, Observations down 13% and 10%, respectively; our infrastructure universe (up 3%) was the only index in positive territory. Trading Data The domino effect following Verizon’s announcement of a $99 per month unlimited calling plan contributed to stock Transaction Activity price declines for service providers as investors fear carriers have started down a slippery slope with respect to their longer-term pricing strategy and risk becoming simply raw bandwidth providers.

  • Mobile Tv: Challenges and Opportunities Beyond 2011
    REFERENCE SERIES NO. 3 MAPPING DIGITAL MEDIA: MOBILE TV: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES BEYOND 2011 By Ronan de Renesse March 2011 Mobile TV: Challenges and Opportunities Beyond 2011 WRITTEN BY Ronan de Renesse1 Media consumption has changed drastically over the past decade. With TV content now accessible everywhere at any time, consumer behaviour and trends are evolving fast. Online TV is a new platform that brings instant free access to favorite content and signifi cantly disrupted the conventional TV business as a result. Given the success of smart phones and application stores, how will mobile aff ect the TV ecosystem? What opportunities and dangers does it hold? Th is paper addresses these questions while providing an overview of the mobile TV sector. As originally defi ned and designed (linear TV streaming on handsets), mobile TV is on the brink of extinction. Yet, demand for video content on mobile is stronger than ever. Mobile TV will have to be reborn and transformed in terms of format, content and business model. Th e guardians of the TV and mobile ecosystem should facilitate this transformation while protecting customers’ interests. 1. Senior Analyst and Head of Mobile Media at Screen Digest. Mapping Digital Media Th e values that underpin good journalism, the need of citizens for reliable and abundant information, and the importance of such information for a healthy society and a robust democracy: these are perennial, and provide compass-bearings for anyone trying to make sense of current changes across the media landscape. Th e standards in the profession are in the process of being set.
