We have now more important information for you
that is watching MobileTalk program
The tablet sales reached 18 million units in 2010
out of 18 million embedded machines around the world last year
the IPAD from Apple corresponded 83% of the sales
according to the information of the IDC Institute the last trimester of 2010 were
commercialized around 10.1 million tablets
more than twice the total number of the third trimester
USA, Europe and Asia excluding Japan were responsible for 89%
of all tablets commercialized in the last trimester
the study also includes the market of I-readers
in the last year were sold 12.8 million digital readers
in a while we talk about the success of Apple's IPAD2
We are back talking about the growth and development
of new applications for smartphones
tablets and computers with the Dr. Teacher
Cristiana Mattos Assumpção from Bandeirantes School
with Melissa Beltrão from Yahoo! and Martin Restrepo
General Director of MobileMonday (Sao Paulo)
Melissa, is there a business model for this market,
what are the barriers of entry and exit of the application market
and the application business?
Well, I think it is an interesting point when we compare
the big players of this market chain
Apple, the operational system from Apple, Iphone and Ipad and Android
the operational system Android, it brought an incredible democracy
to this application world and developers
simply you can develop any kind of application
and make it available in the mobile store which the operational system is Android
without any barriers, without a strict rule
and on the other hand you have Apple
that only make available determined, more strict
a lot of applications are paid and a lot of people say that on the same time
that you have a higher quality
you don't have a total open but you have more quality
and from Android side there is not lots of quality in this sense
what is the secret for the user, for example, he can sell
more application inside the application stores today, is there some formula
of marketing? | What I use to say now talking a little bit
well, how Yahoo! acts on this market, Yahoo! not only develops
and get it's content to the Internet
or develops specific contents for mobile
and tablets but also commercializes publicity, commercializes media
what we always say is that is not worth it to have an application
you have to tell the world that you have an application
you have to announce this application, on the social networks
sponsoring games
in the point of view of the advertising market, specially here in Brazil
was even a curious thing, we saw a jump in the end of 2009
to 2010 from big brands that did not even have it's mobile site
the version for the user to navigate and use the browser in the mobile
they didn't have but they were already developing applications for IPAD
and brands that have very popular services, as banks it is
important to massify these products and important to have (yes) your mobile site
have your application not only on tablets, but also in Android, Java
any browser version that any type of handset
can access, independently the operational system
independent of anything else. You need to be very careful with that as well.
Interesting, using the subject of massification
Cristiana you believe that the mobile technology can be a facilitator
for the digital inclusion? Do you think that the models of
mobile technology will help in the eduction?
Definitely, today we see the entrance of smaller mobiles
with access even the more simple have applications that you can use
has SMS, a basic camera, a calculator, you have a way to
include the student even all social classes
and the tablets are slowly entering being notebooks, being tablets
programs, one computer per student
so you see entering that the tablets came to bring another trend
as, for example, when you travel, you travel with the student the
tablet brings lot's more of mobility
if you are with a netbook, for example, you have to carry it
all clumsy with the screen and the keyboard and camera to take pictures
with a tablet you go there take pictures, with one hand writes, so it came
to enhance the access, there will be another type of interaction
will open many more fields for us to work with the student
Every day the mobile handsets changes in a way
to include more technologies
becoming more attractive and desired by the general public
so our poll today is what is the handset of your dreams.
Check out the opinion of the people in the streets and after that I want you all
also to talk about the handset of your dreams
Well, in fact the handset of my dreams I bought these days
which is the LG Cookie, I bought these days, I bought because of the technology
it offers bluetooth, Internet, all that I need
Well, it could have, more than it normally has, which is facilitate
so you can connect in the Internet and all and also see the person live
as the Internet with the webcam
A smartphone, for many different functions, WI-FI, navigate in the free internets
it has MP3, radio AM and FM, television among other things
for me the bluetooth, Wi-FI, also the Internet which is very important
and the model as well, the cellular model, if it is pink it is very beautiful, interests me a lot
That works on the subway (underground)
in a restricted are, farm, beach
because there are some that don't work
This last comment was spectacular, a mobile that works
This was spectacular.
Before listening the comments from you all I would like to show here
that Cristiana brought the IPAD 2. That, here.
Close the camera here. It is the dream, I guess
from everyone now
it came out and we even have an article about it
it has a camera here, that is a big differential
it shows the camera in from and now you see the camera man
and now back to my shirt
and the cover as well, as they advertise when you close
the cover and it turns off and on
pesonalizable, with the color, as you can see it is feminine
that is why I can't say that it is mine
What is the handset of our dreams? Melissa what is the handset of your dreams?
I rather say less about what is mine and more about my dream of the handset of the main public
that users should have
It is a handset with WI-FI, no doubt with a working WI-FI
this is the basic
because I think here it is the biggest difference, when Brazil has
better structure with hotspots, obviously public access
also for the internet, I think this is how
this market will make a big difference
from the point of view when we talk about massification
we know where it is the big hold up here
from point of view of user usability
we know that data plans are still… they are much better
I think the carriers woke up, they are more willing
in making the smartphone to serve for Internet navigation
therefore the prices are more accessibile
Nice
I think that lots of people
talk on the article is more on the way of this
with access, from the point of view of cost, to be much more easy
much more than a mobile that can transmit, I don't know, a 3D reality, that sort of thing
it is things much more simple and functional that needs to happen and theoretically already
must already happen but didn't happen yet
than a great mobile dream
Okay, Martin, do you have a mobile of your dreams? One mobile
that you dream with it?
I see following the tendency, as what is it happening
I see that the integration of sensors from a series of possibilities
that I can do to measure my world, measure my context
and the mobile also can be integrated with my day to day
integrate my life, that can be sufficiently modulated or
transformed to give one experience in every one of
these moments of my life.
Cristiana, tell me, without the IPAD2, that this dream you made it happen
I made it happen
What other mobile do you still dream?
I think that we have been seeing the future tendencies that Microsoft releases
Corning and many movies that we were discussing before
Is the mobile that has accessibility
You see the desires that I thought they were very interesting and clear
People being connected, being able to use applications, the Internet
a mobile that connects like that and I can put here that it talks to my other gadgets
and it simply by touching it goes interacting, making all a connected technology
and transparent where ever I am
I take a part of it, for example, I get a part of it and take
it on my pocket and goes to another interface
place it there, reads my files, keep on working, which means one connectivity
very intense, this will bring a lot of
applications so we can explore as well
Nice, well, my dream mobile is the latest mobile that was released
my desire never ends, it is very impressive and it cost extremely high
obviously. Well now that we are talking about applications
we have one question from the audience that I want you to answer this subject
Hello, my name is Caique, from São Paulo and I want to know what I need
for an application to work well on my mobile?
Memory I think it is the first thing, today, going a little back
even to the matter of development
from what applications are being available and in which way
for the user, if an application is available on my mobile, Android, if I can
reach it, it has very good chances to work well on my mobile
otherwise it probably wouldn't be available, I will never get
explaining to the users, to an application, it is very hard to get to an Android application
for Iphone, that will never happen.
So it starts from there, I don't know if you have anymore important tips
Martin, do you have ...
We have challenge from application and the diversity of operational systems
that mobiles have this particularity with
computers, the evolution was very different
that also is closing to three main leaders in mobile displays
comparing computers, we have Windows
computers, Apple computers
with mobile the evolution was very different, with great part of the Java
in this segment and now with the entering of Android.
dispositives for windows, dispositives for other types as well
the operational systems have dispositives to run applications
there is not only native applications but also web applications
responding the audience question, the Appstores certificates and try to care
that the application that is there has a compatibility with the dispositives
The development generally, the applications they have this as an exigence of
the stores that we call Appstores, Applications Stores they are
really testing a big list of handset models
there is not enough, obviously, being compatible with the operational system
but it must be a good application, it will be tested in all handsets or
a large some of handsets before it is available to the end user
So I think that the big tip here is memory and buying from official stores
that exists, the official application stores that are on the market.
Well, I would like to thank you all for the presence in todays show
