Going beyondI believe that there are 3 things where doing something today can yield the fruits: (each in itself is necessary but not sufficient)
The “access tool”/ UI strategy
The “services” / Value creation
strategy
The “gateway” /Business model

Service=Software
Independent consumption enabler in mobile context.
Accessory/helper in context with other media.
Threat: bigger guys have the advantage!
Examples of apps we find today in the phones: • Music recognition (SE Walkman bundled app)• Yahoo search • Nokia Maps / GPS • MS Exchange email• Podcasting
Notable downloadable examples: • Fring (IM/Voip)• Gmail • MiniOpera web browser• Yahoo Go
Typically, all use data connectivity and the service itself is free.

“If there’s nothing veryspecial about your work…
you won’t get noticed, and that means
you won’t get paid much, either” —Tom Peters

Ticking off the other checkboxes
• Some notable examples can be summarized in few sentences:Mobile news: competition drives premium sites to go free, waiting for the advertising revenuesMobile sports: subscription based fan clubs thrive, but growth perspectives lowMobile TV: weak consumption, problematic marginMobile music: sales of truetones weak, very poor margin
• Some have more success:Mobile games: strong sales, good marginFotobazaar: there’s really a lot of photos out thereMobile gambling: getting the format rightMobile parking: success where done right (20% Vilnius, ~70% in Tallin, 0% in Riga)
