What’s the most important application to people?
Discuss in pairs for a few minutes
?Gotta have

Does your answer depend upon how many mobiles there are?

?Where do
people use

many use it?

The transparent network is useful

• SMS -> twitter/etc
• Once in the network we can do anything with the message

Even you can get involved

• Record and capture images, words, etc
• Install more apps
• Share your work, inspiration
• Write your own app
www.abdn.ac.uk/sras
Create a mobile app means thinking about its goals
• Mobile web app (widget) or installed app?
• What do you need to do?
?Some use, or all use?To
install or not
install…
