The user

Couple-IT is aimed at users who wish to access all of their information wherever they are on the most suitable device to hand.

The concept consists of two complementary mobile devices and a supporting network infrastructure. The two devices effectively act as one to address the communications needs of a modern generation.

Rather than trying to incorporate every single feature and function into one device with the inevitable compromise on size and usability Couple-IT uses two linked devices to provide suitable solutions for different scenarios. The user has the reassurance that their content is fully accessible at all times from both devices.

The experience

Multimedia phones often require a high degree to compromise. From screen size to user experience, it is often impossible to do full justice to a multimedia phone’s capabilities.

Couple-IT is designed to overcome this. By linking two devices, both suitable for different mobile scenarios, over a network that dynamically synchronises content, so the user can be reassured that the right content is available on the right device.

For example a user would use the larger device (around the size of a paperback book) to surf the internet and book a hotel room. On arrival at the hotel, the details of the reservation would also be available on the smaller device.

The idea behind Couple-IT is to deliver to the user, the content and information he needs on the device most suitable to access and use that information. All controlled and managed by intelligent synchronisation by the network.

One Response to “Couple-IT”

  1. Sarah says:

    I like it a lot, but note that it does remind me of what Foleo was supposed to be for Palm Treo. It’s what I wish I could create with Mac’s Air + iPhone + .Mac, but Air’s footprint is too large…
