  • 1 Smartphones and Symbian OS
    1 Smartphones and Symbian OS Symbian OS is a full-featured, open, mobile operating system that powers many of today’s smartphones. As these smartphones become more pow- erful and popular, the demand for smartphone software has grown. Symbian smartphones are shipped with a variety of useful pre-loaded and targeted applications, which are selected by each phone’s manu- facturer. Today, the average Symbian smartphone ships with over 30 pieces of third-party software pre-installed. However, the exciting aspect of Symbian smartphones is that they are ‘open’, meaning that users can further customize their phone experience by downloading, installing, and uninstalling applications written by third-party developers (or by the users themselves). Users can download applications from a PC to the smartphone through a link such as USB, or Bluetooth technology, or over-the-air via the Internet. With the largest installed base of smartphones worldwide, Symbian OS offers a great opportunity for software developers to establish them- selves in the mobile market by creating novel and exciting software for the growing mass of smartphone users around the world. There is a growing list of Symbian applications available as freeware or as paid downloads on numerous Internet sites (http://www.handango.com and http://www.epocware.com are good examples). They range from pro- ductivity, entertainment, navigation, multimedia, and communications software to programs that can count fast food calories, improve your golfCOPYRIGHTED swing, keep diaries, and calculate MATERIAL foreign currency exchange. And business opportunities aside, sometimes it’s just plain fun writing your own code to run on your own smartphone.

This technological shift has caused a disruption in the industry and led to the demise of many incumbents as new firms entered the industry. We argue that the shift the mobile industry has gone through is not merely a technological one, but rather a paradigm shift from the old feature phone paradigm to the new smartphone paradigm. Further, this paradigm shift brings substantial changes; where the institutions and underlying logic as well as those competences and business models that are important differ between the two paradigms.

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction 1.1 The Convergence Device Convergence has been one of the major technology trends of the last decade. Like all trends, its roots go back much further; in this case you would probably trace them back to the first combination of computing and communications technologies that led to the birth of the Internet. Human interactions that had previously taken place via the physical transportation of paper could now occur almost instantaneously to any connected computer in the world. Increases in computing power, digital storage capacity and communications bandwidth then enabled more complex media – such as voice, music, high resolution images and video – to enter this digital world. Today, near instant global communications are available in multiple media, or multimedia, as they’re commonly described. At the same time this was happening, communications were shifting from fixed wires to mobile radio technologies, allowing people to connect with one another from anywhere. Computing has become increasingly portable, freeing users to work and play on the move. Imaging and video converged with computing to give us digital cameras and camcorders. Music and video distribution and storage have gone first digital and then portable. Global positioning technology combined with portable computing has brought us personal navigation devices. Almost inevitably, miniaturization and integration have led to the development of the ultimate convergence device – the multimedia smartphone. The term ‘smartphone’ was first applied to devices which combined the features of a mobile phone and a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). As technology has advanced, that functionality is now available in some fairly low-end models.

Find previous reports and other resources at www.admob.com/metrics AdMob Mobile Metrics Report June 2008 New and Noteworthy We have had several requests for estimates of the growth of mobile web. AdMob's growth as shown in the metrics report is a function of both adding new publishers and growth from existing publihsers. In this month's feature, we take a look at organic growth from a fixed set of our initial publishers to estimate a 12 month growth rate for the mobile web. We believe this is a good proxy for the growth of mobile web usage (see "Featured" on the next page). * AdMob served 3,631,315,700 ads served in June, a 19.7% increase over May. This growth slightly outpaced May's increase of 16.9%. * Indonesian traffic more than doubled in June to 472 million requests and is now AdMob's second largest market. This was driven primarily by new publishers in the AdMob network with significant Indonesian inventory. Malaysia and the Philippines also saw strong growth. * Apple once again saw strong growth, with impressions from the iPhone and iTouch growing 32% worldwide to 52 million in June. * 24.3% of of ad requests in the AdMob network worldwide were from Smartphones, up from 22.4% in May.

    UNIFORMING A TESTING ENVIRONMENT OF A MOBILE DEVICE Heli Kontturi Master’s thesis November 2012 Degree Programme in Information Technology i ABSTRACT Tampereen ammattikorkeakoulu Tampere University of Applied Sciences Degree Programme in Information Technology HELI KONTTURI: Uniforming a Testing Environment of a Mobile Device Master’s thesis 78 pages, appendices 3 pages November 2012 In the project I have been working together with my colleagues we have had difficulties with getting unified testing results with the mobile devices. The same device and the same phone software give varying results. That’s why I decided to do some investigation why the results change so much. This is explained in the chapter “System under testing”. The most used special words are collected in Glossary chapter. Chapter 1 Introduction introduces the actual work and the reason behind this thesis. Chapter 2 explains testing theory. It is introduced first in general level. Then there is a sub chapter about manual testing which continues testing chapter with the focus on manual testing methods. The next sub chapter concerns test automation. This is included because the project of this thesis is connected with automatic testing project. Chapter 3 introduces testing tools in general. There are manual and automated testing tools. Tools are not necessarily used in this project but they are otherwise known. Chapter 4 tells about ATS, automated testing system. ATS has its own chapter because it is the system that was in use in my project. Chapter 5 tells about Symbian and its history from the beginning. The history is included because of the Symbian’s importance to the mobile world.

  • An Analysis of Navigation Algorithms for Smartphones Using J2ME
    An Analysis of Navigation Algorithms for Smartphones Using J2ME Andr´eC.Santos1,3,Lu´ıs Tarrataca1,3,andJo˜ao M.P. Cardoso2,3 1 IST - Technical University of Lisbon, Avenida Prof. Dr. Cavaco Silva, 2780-990 Porto Salvo, Portugal 2 University of Porto, Faculty of Engineering, Department of Informatics Engineering Rua Dr. Roberto Frias, 4200-465 Porto, Portugal 3 INESC-ID, Taguspark, Avenida Prof. Dr. Cavaco Silva, 2780-990 Porto Salvo, Portugal Abstract. Embedded systems are considered one of the most poten- tial areas for future innovations. Two embedded fields that will most certainly take a primary role in future innovations are mobile robotics and mobile computing. Mobile robots and smartphones are growing in number and functionalities, becoming a presence in our daily life. In this paper, we study the current feasibility of a smartphone to execute nav- igation algorithms. As a test case, we use a smartphone to control an autonomous mobile robot. We tested three navigation problems: Map- ping, Localization and Path Planning. For each of these problems, an algorithm has been chosen, developed in J2ME, and tested on the field. Results show the current mobile Java capacity for executing computa- tionally demanding algorithms and reveal the real possibility of using smartphones for autonomous navigation. Keywords: Embedded computing, navigation algorithms, visual land- mark recognition, particle filter, potential fields, mobile robotics, smartphones, J2ME. 1 Introduction The potential of autonomous navigation is an important aspect for mobile robotics and for mobile devices with the goal of helping the user to navigate in certain environments. A mobile device such as a smartphone could be used to guide the user in museums, shopping centers, exhibitions, city tours, and emer- gency scenarios when a catastrophe occurs; to control more effectively home appliances like vacuum cleaners; to assist impaired people, etc.
