The telephone is a means of communication ...
Note: In this article, various variations of the word “phone”, such as: mobile phone, smartphone, PDA, PDA, etc. are replaced by the word “phone”. For convenience.
Around the world, mobile phones have long ceased to perform a minimum set of multimedia functions. In short, in addition to the talk function, the minimum phone features today include:
• camera,
• mp3,
• organizer alarm clock,
• calculator.
That is exactly the case in Russia. A small percentage of citizens also use their phones to communicate in icq (jimm, qip, Pigeon etc.). In such a situation, the phone only needs java support, which the vast majority of models used by Russians now have.
A radically different situation can be observed in Europe, America, China and, of course, Japan. In countries with a better development of digital technologies than we have in Russia, MMS services have already been developed for a long time (yes, you can’t even think that several thousand MMS users in Russia are development), everyone uses 3G, forgotten wap and gprs, many play on-line games using phones, search and tracking friends through mobile software that supports gps is kept at a very good level.
In the summer of 2008, the GoToury project announced itself very confidently .. With the help of a simple BTL advertisement, the project broke into the tops of Yandex. The project competition and the project itself have become one of the most discussed topics in Runet and the blogosphere in particular. I personally took a small part in that competition and saw the project a little closer. For 2008, it was a very interesting idea and quite a worthy implementation. The bottom line was that people who have a new generation of phones, mainly PDAs, can now play and communicate on the go, at the institute or in line. The game itself was an adventure with the atmosphere of a tropical island. Colorful, positive, bright. A win-win project in advance. But not in this country. More precisely, not at this time.
Russian society is not yet ready to use even a tenth of the progress of the digital world. This should be taken into account when creating any, even the simplest, project, designed for mobile phone users. If you think about it, in recent years only ringtones can be called successful in this area. And even that, this should be attributed to the lack of knowledge in the field of new technologies among the population. Or a complete lack of opportunities to use these technologies. Ringotones are ordered, as a rule, in three cases.
1. Lack of knowledge on synchronizing the phone and computer.
2. The lack of a computer with Internet access.
3. Lack of skills in processing audio files (cutting "pieces" from the whole track).
Already today, you can count at least 10 failed projects similar to GoToury or Meeting . It is necessary to understand that the domestic consumer will be ready for on-line games and social services based on gps no earlier than in 2 years.
