:
Get to know me through what really inspires and moves me.
It's mostly gonna be about advertising, mobile technology and marketing; general trends and music.
The first big news was revealed yesterday during the CES conference in Las Vegas: The Chinese brand Huawei claimed to launch the World's thinnest smartphone.
It's name is Ascend P1 and looks pretty cool.
Should it European and American markets respectively in Spring and Summer.
The 2nd big news is related to the French market where a fourth operator: FreeMobile launched its mobile offer this morning.
The market was waiting for FreeMobile since months now; and with unlimited plans for only 19,90 euros, no doubt this will completely blow the market out.
I will be interesting to see how the big 3 operators will react in the next weeks or months.
2012 will definitely be (again) a interesting year for mobile.
The new iPhone app LocalFave is not only very well designed, it's also a great innovation, combining geolocalization and social recommendations.
Imagine you are looking for a good restaurant and would prefer to have friends recommendations rather than Yelp reviews (from people you have nothing in common with) to help you choose a place
you don't know yet.
LocalFave allows you to rate the restaurants you're going to, determine which one is your favorite one(s), and most importantly, share it with your friends, who will be able to see your reviews
and fave places.
Give it a try and stop picking the wronf restaurant!
This spot is very good as it gives very specific info about one key feature of the new phone in a nice and emotional way.
No wonder it already got 128K+ views in 4 days!
I think Google (and Samsung) are doing a good job at positioning the phone as a fun and family device with one very simple and innovative feature vs. talking about
cold technology where most of other phones are fighting.
The city of San Francisco just installed NFC stickers on 30,800 parking meter across the city.
The only ones I had an opportunity to see before were in Issy-les-Moulineaux (France).
The company, which name couldn't be more explicit, already reports 55,000 daily mobile transactions across the globe. PayByPhone is the world leader mobile
parking payment solutions provider and is operating in more than 160 cities worldwide.
The NFC technology (which allows you to make wireless payments with your smartphone) is moving fast and we can expect to see it very soon in many places such as stores, transportation etc..
Google is working hard, especially with Samsung to develop NFC compatible phones in order to extand its Google Wallet product. Rumors
keep saying that the iPhone 5 will also feature NFC.
The globe is getting mobile. Ever and ever. I already shared a few examples in my previous posts but, a few months after the famous Barcelona Mobile World Congress, I would like
to share new interesting and innovative examples (as seen in Influencia).
Motorola
First of all, the brand new Motorola Atrix, sort of computer-phone at the same time. This new device is particulary innovative and will certainly convince users in need of more
and more mobility, both for business and personal usages.
Samsung
The other one I wanted to mention is the Samsung Galaxy S 2, introducing the NFS technology (I talked about this technology in a previous post but it basically
allows you to pay your day to day purchases with your phone!
No doubt that this technology will become very popular very soon with only one condition: Shops being equiped with such devices and technology!
HP
I won't talk about the brand new iPad2, not because it doesn't worth it but because everyone already talked about it!
However, I would like to share this great TVC from HP (it only has a few months) introducing a new technology: ePrint.
Understand you can, for example, take a picture and send it via email to the printer of your mom. The printer will automatically print the picture and your mon would only have to pick it up from
the tray!
new way of sharing!
New mobile solutions mixing phone, computer etc.. making our mobile devices always stronger and useful. Stay tuned!
