Mobile Models

KARACHI: Expanding the portfolio of its entry solutions in Pakistan, Nokia Pakistan has announced the latest additions to its most affordable device range at their launch event: Nokia 2690, Nokia 2220, Nokia 1616, Nokia 1800 and Nokia 1280. Leading analysts around the world believe it is emerging markets like Pakistan that will lead the future of mobile communications in coming years. By 2015, 83 percent of the global population will be living in emerging markets. A developing world incomes rise, household spending on mobile phones, and the opportunities they are bringing to people, grows faster than spending on energy, water of indeed anything else. staff report
With more than 75,000 applications in the App Store, consumers have a vast choice of alternatives to the applications they have already downloaded. And while discovery of new applications is a challenge for consumers, retaining users can be equally difficult for developers. To shed light on the kinds of applications that tend to be used over a longer period of time, Flurry studied user retention across 19 categories over a 90-day period. We monitored if consumers returned to use a downloaded application within 30, 60 and 90-day periods, as well as how frequently consumers used applications over those time periods. Flurry measures user retention by the number of users who downloaded an application, at any time in the past, and used that app within the last seven days.

Early Mobile Celeron models (based on Pentium II and Pentium III architecture) were very similar to the desktop ones, but with lower voltage, thus consuming less power and dissipating less heat.

The following models were based on Pentium M, Core Solo or Core Duo, always features like L2 memory cache, external bus speed and internal clock rate reduced in comparison to their desktop counterparts. The official name of these models is Celeron M. Note there were no desktop Celeron models base on this architecture.

The most recent models are based on Core 2 Duo architecture, some of them with two processing cores, some with only one. There are ultra low voltage models, focusing on low power consuption, and others with higher voltage and clock rates, aimed on laptops with higher performance (but still on the value segment). These models are named Mobile Celeron.

In the next pages you can have an idea of all mobile Celeron models launched to date and their characteristics.
Yesterday I listed five business arrangements. There is a sixth business worth mentioning. You don’t see much of it and, frankly, it is not entirely a new business to begin with: a bank pursuing an agent+mobile channel as an alternate to branches. While not an entirely new business model, we know that this “mobile+agent” model presents a unique set of challenges for banks. It is not business-as-usual for them. It is not only fee-based transaction products, but the service is being delivered at scale to people transacting at low values. It is no surprise that we see banks and microfinance providers having limited success with this channel. Basix’s bank in India has set-up a distribution network and they have been successful in servicing loans through that channel. Tameer Microfinance Bank had modest success with agents in the slum of Orangi in Karachi but that channel has now been scaled-up in their tie-up with Telenor.

The 20 watt mobile sets did not transmit back to the central tower but to one of five receivers placed across the city.[BLR2] Once a mobile went off hook all five receivers opened. The Mobile Telephone Service or MTS system combined signals from one or more receivers into a unified signal, amplifying it and sending it on to the toll switchboard. This allowed roaming from one city neighborhood to another. Can't visualize how this worked? Imagine someone walking through a house with several telephones off hook. A party on the other end of the line would hear the person moving from one room to another, as each telephone gathered a part of the sound.

One party talked at a time with MTS. You pushed a handset button to talk, then released the button to listen. (This eliminated echo problems which took years to solve before natural, full duplex communications were possible.) Mobile telephone service was not simplex operation as many writers describe, but half duplex operation. Simplex uses only one frequency to both transmit and receive. In MTS the base station frequency and mobile frequency were offset by five kHz. Privacy is one reason to do this; eavesdroppers could hear only one side of a conversation. Like a citizen's band radio, a caller searched manually for an unused frequency before placing a call. But since there were so few channels this wasn't much of a problem. This does point out radio-telephones' greatest problem of the time: too few channels.

This "call-on-select" functionality is described in U.S. patent application 20060004627, filed in June 2004 by Shumeet Baluja, a senior research scientist at Google, which was published last week. The application describes a process that takes into consideration a device's screen size, connection speed, and input capabilities to determine if it would be better to serve an ad with a link to a Web page or one that causes the phone or other mobile device to place a phone call to the advertiser.

Google is keeping its plans quiet, providing a statement saying only, "Like many companies, we file patent applications on a variety of ideas that our employees may come up with. Some of those ideas later mature into real products or services, some don't. Prospective product announcements should not be inferred from our patent applications."

The application sets forth a method of scoring ads based on the various limitations of a client device, relevance of ads to users -- both contextual and behavioral -- CPM and CPC price, user preferences, and other "performance parameters." The score would determine which ad or ads to serve, as well as whether to link the user to a Web page or connect to an advertiser via phone call.

"Everybody talks about pay-per-call in wireless as a natural business model," Greg Sterling, program director at the Kelsey Group, told ClickZ News." There's definitely a lot of interest among advertisers in receiving phone calls. Our data indicate that 71 percent of small and mid-sized businesses would rather receive a phone call than a click in a performance-based ad model."

Mobile History

Just 27 years after Christopher Columbus first introduced America to the western world, Admiral Alvarez de Pineda, a Spanish explorer, became the first European to sail into the waters of Mobile Bay. The year was 1519, and it would be another twenty years before another European would actually take a step in today’s Alabama. Between 1540 and 1541, the well-known explorer and marauder De Soto came close to the Mobile River, but it is unknown if he ever actually traveled to the juncture of the Alabama and Tombigbee Rivers where the Mobile River begins.

The first white colonists in Alabama landed on the shores of Mobile Bay in 1559 under the leadership of Tistan de Luna. He and one-thousand settlers, after landing at Mobile Bay, moved on to Pensacola Bay, and eventually returned to Alabama to take over the Indian town of Nanipacna. (Rivers of Alabama)
A Canadian born Frenchman, Pierre LeMoyne, Sieur d’Iberville would be the first European to leave a considerable mark on the history of Mobile. In the late 1600’s the French government were laying plans to settle and therefore claim the mouth of the Mississippi River. The Spanish, upon learning of plans for a permanent French settlement on the Gulf, quickly scrambled to occupy Pensacola Bay in 1698, denying the French port facilities where they could.
After Iberville’s first reconnaissance for a Mississippi settlement in 1699, he returned to the Gulf in 1702 and began the establishment of warehouses and port facilities on Mobile Bay’s Dauphin Island because of the presence of a deep water harbor, and the strategic importance of slowing the Spanish and English march across the eastern frontier towards the Mississippi River. (Futado)
They named the island, Massacre Island because of the presence of some sixty skeletons that were found upon landing there. Two years later in 1701 Dauphin Island became the first capital of the growing French colony of Louisiana. Pierre LeMoyne, Sieur d’Iberville was the first of the DeMoyne brothers to make his mark upon the history of Alabama. He established the first Mobile settlement in 1702, at a site upstream from Mobile Bay along the Tensaw River at 27-Mile Bluff. The settlement was named Mobile, and the fort that was its center was called Fort Louis (for their Grand Monarch and employer, King Louis the XIV). (History of Alabama
The introduction of hexagonal cells for mobile phone base stations, invented in 1947 by Bell Labs engineers at AT&T, was further developed by Bell Labs during the 1960s. Radiophones have a long and varied history going back to the Second World War with military use of radio telephony links and civil services in the 1950s, while hand-held cellular radio devices have been available since 1983. Due to their low establishment costs and rapid deployment, mobile phone networks have since spread rapidly throughout the world, outstripping the growth of fixed telephony.
In 1945, the 0G generation of mobile telephones were introduced. 0G mobile telephones, such as Mobile Telephone Service, were not officially categorized as mobile phones, since they did not support the automatic change of channel frequency in the middle of a call, when the user moved from one cell (base station coverage area) to another cell, a feature called "handover".

In 1970 Amos Joel of Bell Labs invented the "call handoff" feature, which allowed a mobile-phone user to travel through several cells during the same conversation. Martin Cooper of Motorola is widely considered to be the inventor of the first practical mobile phone for handheld use in a non-vehicle setting. Using a modern, if somewhat heavy portable handset, Cooper made the first call on a handheld mobile phone on April 3, 1973. At the time he made his call, Cooper was working as Motorola's General Manager of its Communications Division.

Some of the most popular mobile phones used by Desi girls and guys alike include Nokia N serious, and the Sony Ericsson Walkman phones. Apple’s Iphone is still hard to find in Ind o Pak, primarily because of less developed network infrastructure.

Second only to Internet hookups and cyber dating, cell phone number exchange is a popular dating or introduction technique. Many young girls and boys seek to get potential romantic partners subsequent to an exchange of phone numbers. Many girls and guys have actually met their boyfriends and girlfriends through this means, as a casual interview might often expose.
The growth into a global online consumer technology retailer will be funded through the rest of the money raised with the AIM offering.

eXpansys has been undertaking an internal review since January to develop a focussed vision and strategy. This has highlighted strategic acquisitions to create scale as a key development, growing its products, competences, commercial relationships and customer base.

DSNS was targeted due to its strong ties with networks and MVNOs, and eXpansys plans to extend this to allow it to offer SIM-only and connected handset propositions through its online portals, starting in the UK.

This will allow it to target new customers, as well as making eXpansys attractive to manufacturers and offering them a platform on which to exclusively launch OEM products on a global scale, removing the need for distributors, according to eXpansys's directors.

Directors also predict consumers will spend more online on technology, and will be more inclined to buy SIMs and handsets separately to get the best value in the future.

Other strategic initiatives include: increasing the geographical spread of its customers base, with websites in new territories to be launched soon; higher margins through increased sales of related products and services, such as accessories and insurance; and building strong partnership relationships with large OEMs.

More acquisitions in the areas of tablets, laptops and other wireless technologies are on the cards as eXpansys grows its product offering further.

eXpansys chief executive officer Anthony Catterson said: “This is a transformational moment for eXpansys. I am delighted that we have been able to attract such high-calibre individuals onto the boar, and have also received the support of blue chip institutions who have joined the share register.

“This deal opens up a number of significant strategic opportunities for the company that we fully intend to exploit.”

Bob Wigley said: “eXpansys represents a high-growth opportunity built on a world class technology platform. eXpansys has the potential to be an international market leader.”

Peter Jones added: “We expect to create over time a real powerhouse, both in terms of its investment potential and its ability to serve consumer technology products to consumers right around the world.”

According to statistics from the Garissa District Education Office, the enrolment rate of girls is just half that for boys. In 2003 when FPE was introduced, the total number of boys enrolled in primary schools was 11,397, compared to 5,539 girls.

Successive years have seen enrolment of boys continue to tower over that of girls. In 2006, the enrolment of boys stood at 13,214, while that of girls was 7,120. A similar scenario was evidenced last year when 14,867 boys enrolled in schools, compared to just 8,071 girls.

"This is serious. We cannot afford to continue losing any girl from school in North Eastern at a time like now when there are all efforts to attain universal education," Abdi said. He was referring to the second Millennium Development Goal (MDG), which expects countries to achieve universal primary education by 2015. Certain initiatives are under way however, to improve enrolment of girls in Kenya's North Eastern region. These include the establishment of mobile schools to cater for nomadic children. The schools, according to Abdi, have been established at water-points where families gather for purposes of getting water and pasture for their animals. The timetable of the schools is flexible in that the schools move with the families.
However, this type of rather optimistic trade report raises the question: What exactly can be prompted by mobile ads, and to what extent? Intuitively, mobile ads should be able to work as attention getters. They can stimulate and improve attitudes toward an advertised product or brand or even affect the formation of intentions to purchase such items. However, it seems naïve to assume that users always open text-based mobile ads in the first place, without considering security issues. Users are unlikely to open and read ads unless they are thoroughly convinced that not only is the message source safe and trustworthy but also that the content will provide information that they will find useful, credible, and valuable in their everyday lives. Perhaps for this reason, many firms seem to be shifting from text-based ads to mobile-based promotional campaigns, in which mobile communication is only part of a more holistic marketing strategy (Okazaki 2008).

In general, applying traditional theories to mobile devices seems to make little sense, for two reasons. First, the mobile phone is a ubiquitous device. Unlike the desktop or laptop PC, it enables users to access diverse functions in any place and at any time. For example, the recent introduction of iPhone 3G in 22 countries-as of July 11, 2008, and in more than 70 countries by December 2008-may change the views of many academics who-regardless of how mobile devices continue to evolve-still mumble "Are they really all that different?" With the iPhone, a variety of applications, including games, business, news, sports, health, reference, and travel, function not only over cellular networks but also via Wi-Fi, "automatically switch[ing] between them to ensure the fastest possible download speeds" (Apple 2008). Second, and perhaps more important, in the real world, mobile ads that lack referents in other communication channels, such as promotions, events, experience, direct marketing, or even public relations, may be meaningless, because mobile communication provides a "tool" rather than as a "goal." In this vein, many firms have begun to integrate mobile devices into their strategic marketing planning and execution as practical communication tools.

Mobile For Girls

Twelve percent have used text messaging news as a conversation starter with a date or mate.Eight percent of respondents say they have ended a relationship over rude/offensive wireless behavior.Five percent of respondents have called someone else he or she was interested in from a wireless phone while on a date and seven percent reported that their date had done so.Six percent have judged a prospective date by the phone they use.Also significant in the survey results, 59 percent of active daters use text messaging to communicate with their dates, while only 30 percent of those who are married.
Since the time, I have posted about the mobile numbers mania in the Pakistani youth, I have been getting sorts of emails, comments regarding the post. Though majority of the emails and the comments lauded the expose, but there are quite few who want to remain oblivious to the menace, which is eating out society out.

Just see the comment on such posts of mine and you would find that almost ninety percent of them are from the girls or boys announcing their phone numbers and emails and they are just simply mad, thirsty, and yearning about the friendship. The “fraandship” requests on such posts which are denouncing such things at first place is clear indication that people are not even reading what I am saying, and they are just after some male or female contact.

I am also amazed at some of the criticism about the TPS admins. I would like to let the people know that it is my demand and my will to do such expose of the social ills and to allow such comments just to show the degradation in our society. If we won’t identify and discuss the evil, then how could we cure it?
That is the paradox, while an introduction on a cell phone may seem impersonal, It can be very romantic. When courting a girl most guys communicate through SMS. This is written form of communication that actually takes thought. A well written SMS is like a Haiku or poem. If you write a love SMS in Urdu or Punjabi for example, it takes often more thought often than an e-mail. This is because the writer tries to economizes on words and chooses each one with purpose and intent. There is certainly more thought in writing than simply someone directly. Writing takes though and intent.

Nokia N91 is a treat for music lovers who will be able to download their favorite songs, share them with friends and more over, be able to enjoy accessories from companies like Bosea, Harman Kardon, JBL, and Sennheiser. On the front side if the case, Nokia N91 has a specially designed set of buttons for controlling tracks.

The model will connect to the PC via a USB 2.0 port, the phone also having WCDMA, WLAN and Bluetooth support.

Obviously the digital camera has not been forgotten and the N91 includes a 2 megapixel camera just like the N70 and N90 models.

Nokia N91 will be launched by the end of the year, this model being announced as a serious competitor for iPod. Ben Wood, analyst from Gartner has declared for BBC that "All the mobile manufacturers are chasing after the music market but it will be a challenge to compete with Apple because the iPod is such an iconic design

Nokia

Last year alone, Nokia (NOK) sold 147 million music-playing phones worldwide, while Apple's (AAPL) sleek touchscreen has sold 5.7 million units so far this year. And although the iPhone is now the top-selling music phone in the U.S. market, it doesn't even make the top five in Europe where three of Nokia's music-playing handsets are best-sellers. Now the Finnish phonemaker plans to launch a new service later this year that will let people download as many songs as they want for a limited time.

Unlike the iPhone's pay-per-track model, Nokia's new "Comes With Music" plan will offer several handsets that include a year's worth of unlimited music in the cost of the phone. Once the year is over, subscribers will be able to keep their existing tracks on their phone or PC, and Nokia says they'll have several options of extending their "Comes With Music" membership without necessarily having to upgrade to a new device. The company is still mum on what those other options may be, though it's likely customers will have to start paying a subscription fee to keep the unlimited downloads service.

"The track-by-track purchase methodology was cumbersome to people," says Liz Schimel, head of Nokia's music business. "Consumers were looking for a more seamless way to access a lot of content."

Subscription-based, all-you-can-listen-to digital music models have been around for a while. Companies like U.K.-based Omnifone and Rhapsody offer similar services and for years rumors have circulated that Apple itself will launch a flat-rate, unlimited version of iTunes. But Nokia is the first mobile giant to turn away from the a-la-carte model of selling mobile music, and, unlike other existing subscription-based services, its will allow people to keep their tunes on their phone and PC even after their subscription expires.
The Nokia N8 also doubles as a portable entertainment centre. Watch HD quality video with Dolby Digital Plus surround sound and hook into a dedicated Web TV application for access to news and entertainment on the move.

It’s not just its 12-megapixel camera and HD video skills with HDMI support that set the Nokia N8 apart from the crowd. Packing more memory than most, the Nokia N8 has 16GB of built-in storage and is expandable up to 48GB with a micro SD card.

Joining the social messaging fold with the likes of the latest Eseries and Cseries devices, the N8 enters the fray with live Twitter and Facebook updates direct to your homescreen. Comment, read and send messages, update your status and share your location and photos with one touch.

Embracing location based services, the N8 is location-savvy and comes with free global Ovi Maps walk and drive navigation with support in more than 70 countries worldwide.

Powering the Nokia N8 is the all-new Symbian^3 platform. This latest incarnation introduces major new advances including multi-touch and support for gestures such as pinch-to-zoom. Onboard there’s also three customisable homescreens that can be loaded with applications and widgets and flicked through by a swish of the finger. There’s also improved 2D and 3D graphics for a faster and more responsive UI, greater memory management and a visual task manager.
