Mobile wellness management
January 30, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Nokia Research Center has a new interesting application for those who want to follow their wellness. Application is called the Wellness Diary.
When asked about wellness, we tend to focus on our weight, because it is so easy to pinpoint and measure. This free mobile phone application brings total lifestyle management to the terminology of wellness. You can track just about everything you do with it like calendar appointments, sleeping, exercising, eating, weight, blood pressure… etc.
Now you are able to get a grip on your daily and long-term life and analyze your habits to the detail. This is a good tool for people who are trying to make a change in their lifestyle. You can also get a lot more out of relationships with doctors and personal trainers, as they can get detailed information of your health and lifestyle.

Mobile games for women
January 28, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Women gamers have been the stone of Midas in game industry for as long as games have existed. Interestingly enough only the other sex seems to be interested in games and the other does something else to fill their schedules.
Over the years, many game companies have been established to tap this unused market demographic - women gamers. Equally many have failed, exited the market all together or steered towards men again.
Now we have another contender that is going after the women money. Actually this is no new kid on the block, instead GOSUB 60 was founded year 2003 and they boast with a team that has over 50% of women workers.
Here at brand mobile phones, we think that it is a smart move to go after women gamers via mobile phones. Women love their shiny mobile phones and everybody has one. This is not the case with women and computers. GOSUB 60 combines the benefits of platform and market niche. If they execute their plans well, we just might have a winner.

Nokia’s fools gold
January 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Nokia will soon shine like a diamond, only it won’t be diamond but a new material that mimics the shine of diamonds. Nokia has found a way to combine plastic and coal in a manner which produces hard and shiny surface. Say goodbye to those hideous painted plastic cases, which try to pass as steel or some other real material. Expect to see some cool looking mobile phones coming from Nokia, and they will be dirt cheap, because it’s not real thing but fools’ thing, eh… bling.

Nokia shines
January 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Nokia did well during the year 2006. They sold more mobile phones with lower prices but with better profit margins. It looks like Nokia’s product slate can hang in the predatory market climate that eats the poor. One trick ponies like Motorola’s RAZR aren’t just cutting it anymore. However it looks like Nokia’s high-end models aren’t doing the trick either as growth in multimedia segment was dissapointing. Secret to the success, good technology, focus on growing markets and crushing cost control.

Nokia comes out
January 23, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Press is full of rumors and opinions about Nokia’s coming financials. Suddenly the underdog has bounced back to the ring. Nokia’s strengths at the moment include wide mobile phone catalogue, cost efficiency and technological leadership. These are the ingredients for amazing staying power, however they still need that spearheading generation phone that will get people talking. It has been a while since Nokia had one of those babies.

Greystripe signs a partnership
January 21, 2007 | Leave a Comment
Greystripe, the company that I just recently noticed in my radar just signed a partnership with Asian mobile community myGamma. This move makes lot of sense, because myGamma can extract more revenue from their 1,5 million mobile users and Greystripe is a one more step closer to gaining critical mass for their ad serving mobile game network. We might be witnessing the birth of a new mobile game business model.

Advertising network and mobile game distributor in one – Greystripe. This company takes ready games and bundles them with ads that advertisers have paid for. Rock solid business logic they present here. Operators and foreign partners have an opportunity to jump-start a complete service. Big chunk of games is also easier to sell than few thousand pound gorillas. Watch Greystripe as possible survivor of mobile game wars.

Amobee has come out to mobile markets with in-game mobile advertising. Their ads will show while game-loads and between levels. Users benefit by getting their mobile games a tad cheaper or free, depending the game quality and the amount endorsed by the advertiser.

This is the latest trick on the market. Let’s hope it will push the envelope and mobile phones become more and more accepted also as fashion statements not just status statements.
