Mobile Apps versus Mobile Web Pages

Another good ReadWriteWeb post about deciding which to use - Mobile Apps or Mobile Web pages.

Here is the slide show...

Sxsw app vs. web

Our approach with SehMobile is to take advantage of both. We create an App for you to take advantage of those strenghts, but we give you a great online content management dashboard to allow you to open web pages - preferably mobile pages - from your app.

2010 - the Year of Mobile

Great video on 2010 as the year of mobile...

Mobile Computing

I broke down today and bought an iPhone.

I had a Treo last year. It was always an awkward shape to hold. My wife simply would not use it.

I was given a Blackberry Storm for Christmas by my son to replace the Treo. It is better.

I got the iPhone to use for testing various software as a service products we write and provide.

I now understand. I guess it is sort of like Twitter - until you use it you just can't get it.

It didn't hurt that the Safari browser ran all our services fast and error free.

My favorite cell phone will probably always be my first StarTac. After all, my favorite car is still my 64 VW bug. 

But now I "get" mobile. It is just better. It is just easier. I still have a ways to go before I get it all - but for now - wow!

Generation M

Are you ready for Generation M? At last we have a new generation ID and you - at any age can be part of it.

JP Rangaswami has a great post - titled "when virtual worlds and physical worlds meet" that defines Generation M. Maybe this is old to many of you, but it's new to me and I like it.

Here is the quote from his post...

"Generation M, the mobile multitasking multimedia millenials, spend time online, they’re not sacrificing face time with their friends and family.

They’re sacrificing TV time. And advertisement time. And everything else that goes with it. Particularly when you compare them to earlier post-TV generations.

So they’re going to do what we never managed to do enough of. They’re going to choose what they do in their leisure time. Choose whose recommendations they trust. Choose whom they spend time with. Choose who they share their intentions with. Choose."
