On the heels of our post earlier today regarding a panel discussion at the eTail 2010 summit over mobile apps vs. the mobile Web when it comes to a mobile commerce strategy, Adobe has published a new survey that should shed some light on the debate. Adobe’s “Scene7 Rich Mobile Commerce Survey” was conducted from July 6 to July 23, 2010, to identify businesses’ strategic and tactical plans for mobile commerce over the next year. The survey received 446 responses from representatives at leading enterprises worldwide – with most coming from North America. Of the respondents, it found that 80 percent of companies were planning, or had already deployed a mobile website, compared to the 8 percent of respondents that were interested in applications. Granted, Adobe has a vested interest in the mobile Web over mobile apps — as its Flash technology is more prevalent and accepted there — but the survey still sheds an interesting light

Orange Launches Mobile Volunteering Project

In today’s modern society, the common claim from most people is ‘we are too busy’ as if life is somehow so hectic that it is virtually impossible to complete all the things we have to do, let alone all the things we would like to do. The impression is that despite the technology, we live in a world where the resource drain on our time is just too much, and as such certain activities suffer.

However, the technology we have day by day in our pockets, bags and purses can also be used in a multitude of ways to help us serve others who need help on a regular basis, without making too many drastic changes to the way we live our lives
