The Mobile Platform 2.0: Establishing the Personalized Video, Music, and Communications Experience
The next generation mobile device has set a new threshold of design, elegance and features that all future mobile devices will be compared to. The Mobile Platform 2.0 will no longer be acceptable to the consumer as anything less. It is possible that a mobile device offer a specific feature – a communications tool or entertainment concept and specialize in just that – in other words, it is not clear that the Mobile Platform 2.0 be an all-in-one product. Nevertheless, the next generation devices have forever raised the bar for what all future mobile platforms must aspire to. In this session, we will address Mobile 2.0 – the features, the network capabilities and consumer expectations.
