Something about this seems fake. But if it is real I want it!
We’ve researched doing a multitouch table for the pinch/zoom office. The components aren’t too expensive to do a massive touch screen, but only projected capacitance, not surface. Which means the screen has to rest on a big box. The big advantage of a surface capacitance table is that it still works as a table.
Flash Lite Penetration Forecast for 2008/2009
I was recently seeking out Flash Lite penetration across mobile devices… something I had a very tough time doing. I was pointed to this post which has the most comprehensive data I’ve seen so far.
Design For Mobile Recap
A bit late to this, but UX Magazine does a good recap of the recent Design for Mobile conference in Chicago.
Carlo’s Notes from Mobile Monday Austin
Carlo posted a series of awesome tweets from last nights Mobile Monday Austin that have been getting some retweets, like Nokia’s report of 75 apps in Ovi Store with 1m+ downloads.
Thought it would be good to capture his stream on new research from Nielsen on Mobile Apps and Connected Devices
Here are the tweets:
- US smartphone penetration up to 25% overall, 33% in last 6 months
- 59% of US smartphone owners use apps. What do the other 41% do?
- 70% of US subscribers have data plans (vs 25% on smart phones) - lots of folks surfing with feature phones
- Top 10% of data users consume 50% of data - mostly video
- Android market share among people who download apps up 5x in last 2 quarters
- Watch out for category champions at dominate many app categories - social networking, weather, maps
- Percentage of people willing to pay for apps varies across category of app, worth checking out. Games highest, then entertainment, maps, etc.
- Mobile advertising users are much more open to ads than PC users.
- Younger mobile users are more open to ads, and Android users have higher click rates
- We are at inflection point for Android, perception that iPhone dominates doesn’t match what is happening at retail.
- People who own connected devices own an average of three - so publisher’s audiences aren’t necessarily additive
- Not surprising - tablet owners own average of almost 6 connected devices (still early adopters)
- 59% of iPad use is at home, compared to 47% for iPhone
- Almost half of iPads are shared by multiple users, compared to 34% of smartphones. E-Readers shared the least at 33%
- Books, TV shows, magazines, movies all accessed much more on tablet than smartphone
- News and music still high on tablet, but higher on smartphone
- iPad owners also spend a long time per session with the device, basically 3x per session than iPhone
- Internet usage is flat over the last 6 months -> consumption is shifting away from PC
- Smartphone usage increases after iPad purchase. Portable game player usage falls off a cliff after iPod touch purchase
- 1 in 4 iPad owners use it for business, compared to 42% for Blackberry
It’s like a highlight video of everything that went wrong during the last Republican reign.
