  8. Mobile phones are not the same as desktop computers

  9. The complexity of the mobile world • Multiple Operating Systems • Multiple browsers • Multiple devices etc

  10. Four major problems of the mobile web: • Limited memory and storage • Small display screens • Flaky browsers • Flaky connections

  11. 1. Limited memory and storage • Processing power • Various data formats • Depends on the device • Data storage • Storage is expensive • Interoperability issues

  12. 2. Small display screens • Desktop version websites are optimized for 1024 x 768 pixels. • There’s no way that will fit on a mobile browser.

  13. Small display screens • Solution lies in the realms of graphic and interaction design. • Technical solutions exist using CSS and Javascript.

  14. 3. Flaky Browsers • There are MANY mobile browsers! • They all vary in standards and modes of rendering. • Most are downloaded and tied to the devices performance.

  16. 4. Flaky Connections • Spotty outside urban areas • …that’s about it! • Technical solutions using HTML5

  17. Solutions: • Take data processing away from the mobile phone and into the cloud. • Create a common platform that all mobile phones (try to) share in common e.g. mobile web, sms and ussd.

  19. Definition of POTENTIAL • 1998: 3.9 BILLION Mobile Subscribers! • 42.8 MILLION Mobile Cloud Computing Subscribers! • 2014: 5.2 BILLION Mobile Subscribers!! • 998 MILLION Mobile Cloud Computing Subscribers!!!

  20. The power (and beauty) of this is the number of users this concept has the power to reach…especially in Africa!!!! • Take note: CONCEPT not TECHNOLOGY

  21. Mobile Cloud Computing • Concept • Suitability • Technology • Attitude

  22. 1. Concept Innovation Bespoke Products Services

  23. 2. Suitability • Ubiquity – Something novel to something common. • Certainty – Something little known to something everybody knows and loves.

  24. 3. Technology “We have the technology!”

  25. 4. Attitude • Willingness to use it • Africa needs this!

  26. What will Mobile Cloud Computing look like? • Smartphones will increase in percentage. • Feature phones will become more sophisticated. • Lower end phones will be the driving force.

  27. What will Mobile Cloud Computing look like? • Apps will be of two types: • Native apps • Web apps

  28. What will Mobile Cloud Computing look like? • Faster mobile networks. • Improved network connectivity outside urban areas.
