Mobile content
Mobile content is any type of web hypertext and information content and electronic media which is viewed or used on mobile phones, like text, sound, ringtones, graphics, flash, discount offers, mobile games, movies, and GPS navigation. As mobile phone use has grown since the mid-1990s, the usage and significance of the mobile devices in everyday technological life has grown accordingly. Owners of mobile phones can now use their devices to make photo snapshots for upload, twits, mobile calendar appointments, and mostly send and receive text messages (SMSes or instant messages), listen to music, watch videos, take mobile pictures and make videos, use websites to redeem coupons for purchases, view and edit office documents, get driving instructions on mobile maps and so on. The use of mobile content in various areas has grown accordingly.
Camera phones may not only present but also produce media, for example photographs and videos with a few million pixels, and can act as pocket video cameras.
Mobile content can also refer to text and multimedia that is online on websites and hosted on mobile facilitated servers, which may either be standard desktop Internet pages, mobile webpages or specific mobile pages.
Mobile text and image content via SMS is one of the main technologies in mobile phones for communication, and is used to send mobile users and consumers messages, such as ringtones and wallpapers. As a non-internet-based messaging technology, SMS remains an effective way for providers to reach this target market. SMS is easy to use and ubiquitous, reaching a wider audience in some contexts than any other mobile technology such as MMS, bluetooth, mobile e-mail or WAP.
Although SMS is a technology that has long history since first cellular phones it maybe replaced in use by the likes of Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) or WAP, but SMS frequently gains new powers. One example is the introduction of applications whereby mobile tickets are sent to consumers via SMS, which contains a WAP-push that contains a link where a barcode is placed. This clearly substitutes MMS, which has a limited users reach and still has some applicability and interoperability problems.
It is important to keep enhancing phone users' and consumers' confidence in using SMS for mobile content applications. This means that if users and consumers have ordered some new wallpaper or ringtone, as the user expects, it has to work almost properly. Therefore, it is important to choose the right SMS gateway available or as a provider to ensure the quality-of-service along the whole path of the content SMS until it reaches the consumer's mobile.
Modern phones come with Bluetooth and Near field communication. This allows video to be sent from phone to phone over Bluetooth, which has the advantages that there is no data charge.
Mobile application development, also known as mobile apps, has become a significant mobile content market since the release of the first iPhone from Apple in 2007. Prior to the release of Apple's phone product, the market for mobile applications (outside of games) had been quite limited. The bundling of the iPhone with an app store, as well as the iPhone's unique design and user interface, helped bring a large surge in mobile application use. It also enabled additional competition from other players. For example, Google's Android platform for mobile content has further increased the amount of app content available to mobile phone subscribers.
