“Is it on sale?” The mobile opportunity – people are buying now
GUEST POST: Ann Cannon, vice president of CSG Systems’ Prairie Interactive Messaging In today’s market, consumers are thinking twice before they buy almost anything. “How much do I need it?” “Do I need it all, or do I just want it?” “It is on sale?” Questions people ask when they’re uncertain about their own economic futures. This “Is it on sale?” thinking presents an ideal opportunity for mobile marketing to worried consumers. For example, if a consumer has a genuine need and desire for a purchase more complex or higher value than an impulse buy – anything from an upgraded mobile phone to a new car – they may repeatedly pass up that item at full price, or even with some discounting. Stretching their spending dollars by waiting for a better deal is a safer move in a tight economy. But what if that same consumer were to receive a coupon on their mobile phone while they were out shopping? Not a printed coupon sitting at home with the unopened mail, or an email coupon waiting in a distant inbox to be printed out and stuck in a purse or a pocket. Rather, a targeted offer made to the right consumer at the right time, in the right place.

Centrl iPhone LBS App to feature Push Notification
I have been reviewing several apps on the iTunes store over the last few days to see what is the current state of location-aware apps with a social networking element. I came across New York based Centrl even before I had the pleasure of making the acquaintance of Murat Atkithanoglu, Centrl’s founder, and found the app to be one of the best in its class, both in terms of feature range as well as simplicity of use. Centrl gives users the power to search for people and places but also special offers within their immediate vicinity. All this may sound familiar, but make no mistake.

I have been waiting for ‘the device’ to upgrade my Nokia N95 from for quite some time. When Nokia announced the N96, a lot of us N95 users thought the wait was over, but unfortunately it wasn’t. In the flesh the N96 was a very poor cousin to the N95, both in build quality and features, so there was more going against upgrading to it than for. Then some time later, early reports about the next Nokia N-Series in line to the N95, the Nokia N97, held promise that Nokia hadn’t lost it’s meandering way and was building a decent next generation device that was as revolutionary as the N95 was when it first came out. I was eager to get my hands on the N97 to see if this was the N95 upgrade I’ve been waiting for.

Nokia has eliminated the monthly subscription for anytime files on their Ovi Files service! The pricing used to be a monthly fee, with the option for either a 10GB or 30GB bucket of online storage. Nokia Ovi Files provides 10GB of complementary service, which is certainly much appreciated. Ovi Files is the result of Nokia’s purchase of Avvenu . Basically, there is a PC -based (Windows only, unfortunately) Ovi Files Agent that runs on your connected computers, constantly synchronizing files with the online server.
The Eee PC T91 is ASUS ’ first full touchscreen tablet netbook and it is finally making its own way onto the United States retail market. Touchscreen tablets have been, in many ways, an oft-repeated mix of excitement and disappointment – great ideas coupled with mediocre hardware, or nice-looking hardware coupled with bad implementation of the touchscreen . Has ASUS managed to sidestep these issues with its own tablet PC? Hardware and Specifications The Eee PC T91 is an 8.9-incher , which means you’ll have a small keyboard even by many netbook standards. Surprisingly, it is easy to type on this one. It got a nice clickiness, and while it is certainly compact, it does not feel cramped, and we really didn’t experience more mistyping than average – which was, to be honest, a pleasant surprise
