When you need to communicate with a person in a short period of time, you can immediately make a call. It helps communicate within no time. 

Mobile phones have pervaded every section of society. Everyone owns a mobile these days. It is no more confined to a section of society unlike the past. It is available to all. One can even find it with a daily wager which was not the situation in the past. Earlier, only the selected few could afford a mobile. This was due to the fact that it was expensive. Things have changed today. The massive production of the mobile phones has made it available to all. Today, it is available at a lower price.

The phones have undergone a sea change. They are available with updated facilities and endless options. In the 1990′s, digital phones emerged that reduced the size of the phones considerably. Heavy mobiles gave way to lighter ones. They are available in slender and sleek styles. The range of choice is unlimited for a user. The appearance and the technology used in designing a phone has undergone tremendous transformation. They are also available with various favourable schemes. This has made it all the more affordable.

A mobile offers security to a user. One can communicate to anyone within minutes. You can keep in touch with family and friends anytime. They are available in various designs and shapes. Mobile instant messengers are the in thing now. This kind of service aims to transpose the download messenger such as ICQ or MSN experience to the usage scenario of being connected via a mobile/cellular device.

Windows mobile instant messaging is also known as palm top/ PDA or Personal digital assistant / palm pc. It helps create an adequate, powerful and convenient mobile experience. The service enables you to use different applications simultaneously. It saves a lot of time of the user. Similarly, one can use the service of download all messengers on mobile. It enables a user integrate Windows Messenger, Google Talk and others and with version for Palm OS and WinME, in addition to Blackberry. This has simplified the whole process. A user can run various software applications on it.

Mobiles are used for innumerable purposes besides the basic purpose of making calls. Today, they signify different thing for different people. A businessman can choose from high end mobile phones that offer all the facilities to a user. One need not rely on a PC anymore. They serve for various purposes.

‘A camera which can be used as phone too’ – This is the punch line used by one of mobile phone manufacturer in India. Such is the demand of adhoc applications/functionalities in mobile phones that using them as phone has become secondary purpose. No wonder why we see so many web sites providing sharing and downloading free as well as paid content for our mobile phones.

How useful are these sites? Are they actually helpful or they are just like dot com boom wherein everyone is just trying to cashing it on? Let’s try to find out.

Some of the such well known sites are – Getjar, Mobile9 and Mobango. All of these sites are doing quite well and are having millions of registered users with them. I have been using these sites for last one year to publish our application. Although I found one of these sites better than the other two but still I would say all of them have their own advantages and limitations (I am intentionally not mentioning my favorite site as I don’t have any vested interest in any of these site, also I don’t want the readers to take me as promoter of this site J).

I would definitely like to mention that the no. of registration/users have increased to 10 times since we have started taking services of these sites (this includes paid publishing too). If you talk about only free listing, it gave us up to 3-4 times registrations/users. There are majorly three types of campaigns which you can run on these sites – 1) Wap campaign, 2) Web campaign and 3) Web and Wap campaing.

WAP campaign – As the name suggest, Wap campaign is for wap sites only (your application will be shown in their wap site when a user visits it using his/her mobile phone).

WEB campaing – again simple to understand, your application will be shown in their web site when a user visits it using his/her PC/Laptop.

Web and Wap campaign – This is the combination of (1) and (2).

Using any of the above campaign, your application will be shown in their sponsored/recommended list which is quite visible when someone enters the site and very prone to ‘click’. Some of the sites have one more section called ‘featured application’ which again is the paid section.

The area where these sites have an edge over a particular manufacturers online store (such as Nokia OVI store or iPhone app store) for a normal user is that these sites contains applications for all manufacturers instead of one particular manufacturer. So you don’t need to worry about your phone model, just visit any of these sites and you will find plenty of application for your phone.

All these sites promise to many fold your no. of downloads/registration on daily basis and this claim as per my experience is very close to reality. Having said that, I have doubts about their stats as difference between no. of downloads shown by them and no. of registration we actually got (for client-server application. You need to peep into your DB to know this difference) is huge. Although there could be your client/server issues which are causing this difference but it could not be the only reason (especially in case of our application which I know as well as I know myself). Now the question which arise is whether this difference is because of some issue in their stats or is it deliberate to inflate their numbers? The answer is GOD knows or their DEVELOPERS know.

Final words – if you are a developer or an application freak user, you must try these sites, I am sure you will find much more than you are looking for.

And yes, if you want to discuss about such applications or any other topic related to mobile OS, mobile manufacturer, jobs in mobile industry etc. then you must try this one of the most vastly categorized forum – www.cellnews.in, or if you just want to read updates, you can visit www.everythingaboutmobile.blogspot.com.

New Mobile Games Platforms: Challenges and opportunities   In this Industry Report By 2008 the global mobile games market had stagnated. Growth in the operator distributed mobile games market, which peaked at over 50 per cent in 2004 and 2005, had fallen to 10 per cent, and is expected to drop to just 7 per cent in 2009. Device fragmentation, and the top publishers’ dominance over operators’ portals, had created an ecosystem in which it was difficult for all but the biggest players to generate significant income. In July 2008 Apple launched its App Store, for which games quickly proved popular. With over 1bn applications downloaded in the first 10 months and 70 per cent of revenues going to publishers/ developers, the iPhone platform and the App Store business model and retail channel have proved that there is a significant market for mobile games outside of operators’ portals. ( http://www.bharatbook.com/Market-Research-Reports/New-Mobile-Games-Platforms-Challenges-and-opportunities.html )  As this business model challenges the relationship between operators and publishers, and smartphones, that can provide advanced gaming capabilities, grow in popularity, more players will try to emulate Apple’s success. Two platforms that have the potential to boost the mobile games market outside operators’ portals are Nokia’s N-Gage, and Google’s Android. Though neither of these has yet got the necessary combination of ingredients to be a true rival to the iPhone/App Store combination in the mobile games market. Despite the growth of new platforms, it is the Java games market that will continue to provide the biggest revenues. As more small publishers, that have been unable to achieve significant revenues with network operators, leave this space, the top publishers will be presented with the chance to increase their dominance of this market.  This report includes :  * Historical analysis of the operator distributed mobile games market  * Assessment of the iPhone’s and App Store’s strengths and weaknesses  * Analysis of the potential challengers to the iPhone: N-Gage and Android  * Discussion of operators’, platform providers’ and device manufacturers’ plans to respond to the App Store’s success  * Analysis of the impact of new platforms on the top three publishers and how they respond  * Country profiles of the major Western markets.   Key Findings :  * Apple’s App Store is already having a significant impact on the mobile games market. Games for the iPhone generated globally over $100m revenues in H2 2008 and it took 10% of the North American mobile games market.  * As device manufacturers, operators and platform providers launch their own stores, seeking to emulate the success of the App Store, Screen Digest expects more mobile games publishers to abandon or reduce development of Java games for operators’ portals.  * Despite growth in revenues in 2008, the impact of new platforms meant that the top three mobile games publishers failed to increase their market share.  * While many players will try to mimic the success of Apple’s App Store, as yet, none has the necessary ingredients to match Apple. Platform specific and on-device application stores have the greatest chance of success in the mobile games market.  * Although the application store business model and high-end platforms are attractive to publishers (better share of revenues, more receptive audience, control over pricing and ability to innovate), the operator distributed Java games market will, in the short-to-medium term, remain the largest market.  * Of the top three publishers, Gameloft has best positioned itself to take advantage of the boost new platforms have given the market, though EA Mobile, with its catalogue of popular licensed and parent company games, has the necessary titles to match this success.Bharat Book Bureau Tel: +91 22 27578668 Fax: +91 22 27579131 Email: info@bharatbook.com  Website: www.bharatbook.com  Blog: http://bharatbookresearch.blogspot.com
