It has been designed to improve the user experience of one of the most (if not the most) used mobile applications the PhoneBook. * Young adults segment: Most of the kids and young adults are used to have a rich contact list on their PCs. They use applications such as Skype MSN Messenger and social networking sites such as MySpace and Facebook. On those interfaces they are able to see how their contacts look and what they are doing. For them the phonebook i.e. the contact list of the phone looks quite boring. As a matter of fact the phone book has not evolved much since the birth of mobile phones. It now stores more attributes (email and pictures) but its primary functions remains initiating calls sending texts and pictures. NextGen PhoneBook allows young adults to have all their communication xxxx within a single user interface. They can see the updated status coming from MySpace Facebook or Twitter right in the phone book. They can also update their own status which includes text photos and location. * Casual users segment : the contacts stored on the phone are the most important ones. Mom is stored on my phonebook it is less likely that she is on Facebook. Since contacts are so important it is a real pain to lose them. With NextGen PhoneBook contacts are transparently backed up on the mobile operator using OMA SyncML technology.

The user The increasing fragmentation of the mobile phone market creates an obstacle to the deployment of a brand’s user experience across all platforms and devices. Each platform has its own standard and as a result applications are always 80% platform specific which is costly and inefficient. Due to this hindrance company brands’ user experience is only made available on a few platforms usually open ones on so-called ‘smart-phones’. Smart-phones however only represent a small sector of the addressable market which remains largely untapped as a result. Brand-driven companies are seeking solutions which allow them to deploy their user experience everywhere on any device and in a totally consistent and controlled way. The experience Kaleido is today’s essential solution for an all-platform, fully-branded mobile user experience. Handset manufacturers, platform designers, as well as service and application developers use Kaleido to bring to life the most innovative user experiences. |

The user Every user who can access a mobile TV accessible handset or a smart phone that access online video content could be a potential user of Pixie TV. Largely that would open up the consumer group from the ages of 13 and upwards… However the active participation and interaction with the application varies according to the individual user’s interests and requirements. On this basis the user groups can be divided as: ‘Active Users’ Users who are not intimidated by the possibilities the application opens up typically these users are well versed with the various concepts of social networking and are active users of social media such as YouTube Facebook Twitter etc... Regularly share content with peers and treat video content as social currency as conversation starters and see ‘pinging’ ‘poking’ ‘buzzing’ as typical and legitimate practices of social interaction. ‘Passive Users’ Users who have no interest in or are not exposed to social networks and other social media. These users typically look view video content as a fillers between tasks and are not keen on interacting with the application. They require an application to be simple and appropriate to their needs any other features are simply extras and maybe even deemed unwanted and confusing. The experience The convergence of media on the mobile phone, allows for several new channels of communication which are always on. However, such a convergence brings along with it large amounts of data which is uniquely characteristic of each medium. |
