My Phone Net refers to the personal service aplication of setting up an easy-to-use customer's personal net or network of friends and contacts with
the interconnectability of Mobile Telephone applications via GSM and now especially 3G
technology, which provides modile users broadband access to the full capabilities of the Internet. The seesnce of this service is comparable to
that of the top Instant Messaging Services such as Microsoft's MSN and IM, Yahoo's IM and Skype's personalized network system.
The Mobile Web refers to the access to the World Wide Web using a mobile device such as cell phones, PDAs, and other portable gadgets connected
to a public network. Such access does not require a desktop computer, nor a fixed landline connection.
Services on the Mobile Web can include capabilities that do not exist on the traditional Internet, such as SMS text messaging.
However, Mobile Web access today still suffers from some interoperability and usability problems. This is partly due to the small physical size of
the screens of mobile devices and partly due to the incompatibility of many mobile devices with the format of much of the information available
on the Internet.
Mobile Web 2.0:
An example Web 2.0 technology used on the mobile web is the blog, resulting in the term moblog. Critics point to the difficulties of transferring Web
2.0 concepts such as open standards to the mobile web. On the other hand, advocates present it as a means of pushing information up onto the web in
addition to bringing information down to the user. This push to allowing offline content to popular websites empowers the user. Furthermore, many
major companies see the rapidly growing demand for advanced web access via mobile phones and provide a mobile version of their site. This allows
users, even with newer devices, to quickly access websites and services in a view that is customized for mobile. Some examples include American
Airlines and Victoria's Secret among many others. The first book on the topic was Mobile Web 2.0 by Jaokar & Fish, futuretext 2006.
Seventh Mass Media:
Since the first ringing tone was sold on the mobile phone in Finland in 1998, the mobile has emerged as the Seventh of the Mass Media. Today a wide
range of paid media content is consumed on mobile phones ranging from 9.3 billion dollars of music and 5 billion dollars of videogaming
to horoscopes, jokes, news, adult entertainment, etc. Also like on all other media, advertising appeared onto mobile when a free news service
launched in Finland sponsored by ads in 2000.
