More Consumer Electronics Questions & Answers please visit : CesFAQ.com

New techniques are currently being trialled to combat the problem of the illegal mp3 music downloading. One is being backed by massive R & B producer, Timbaland. Recognising that people want cheap, affordable ways to get their mp3 music and using the latest technology to provide this, he has joined forces with Verizon Wireless network in a ground breaking deal to release mobile only music.

Timabaland will release one track per month, only available to subscribers of V Cast, Verizon’s mobile entertainment service. Consumers who want to obtain mp3 music often do so illegally, costing the music industry millions but it has been found that they are more willing to pay anything up to 3 pounds for a track downloaded to their mobile phone.

R & B songs are the hot favourite for music downloads and ringtones of late and Timbaland will be putting his tracks into the public domain for a bargain price of 1 pounds per track. It is perfectly legal to then transfer this music to a computer, thus reducing the need for the more risky way to collect mp3 music.

It seems music downloads to mobiles is the way to go as these types of sales rose by 32% in Japan last year, bringing with it an 87 pounds million industry. The UK has the largest concentration of mobile phones which are music enabled but consumers are restricted by download prohibitions. Leading the way here is Nokia who are to provide a service with unlimited downloads and it is hoped this will kick-start the industry here.

More legal solutions to consumers who wish to download mp3 music are coming from the Far East with Google’s new feature it is preparing to add to its Chinese search site. It is a system whereby it will be legal to download music and keep it in whichever format you wish. The money will be made from advertising. The idea is to use free music to help sell ads and then split the proceeds with music copyright owners.

It is reported that Google have already managed to get Universal Music Group on board with this idea but some believe this to be questionable. They are currently trying to gain the support of other music companies and calm their fears that they will lose out. Legitimate music sales in China are minimal so it really shouldn’t affect the business that much, other than to improve it.

More news from China regarding the consumers who like to download music is the latest invention dubbed an ‘ePod’ or ‘green Pod’. It comprises a wind up mp3 music player that is environmentally friendly. Saving on electricity usage this latest gadget can be recharged by the use of a wind up handle on the back.

One minute’s worth of winding can be enough to support 40 minutes of music listening and can play for an incredible 20 hours before needing a full charge again. The Eco Media Player can store up to 500 songs and also doubles as an emergency mobile phone charger, useful until they bring in the wind up mobile phone that is currently being worked on.

It would seem that the new advances in the industry should benefit fans who are looking for mp3 music as well as record companies and the environment. Consumers should be able to download music as cheaply as possible while remaining within the law, record companies have a choice of ways to supply music while still making a profit and with a wind up music player or phone we can all do our bit for the environment.

According to Nielsen’s Three Screen Report for the first quarter of 2009, the 13.4 million Americans (up 52 percent from 2008) who watch videos on their phones view an average of 3-1/2 hours of mobile video every month. The research firm says the growth stems from increased mobile content and the rise of the mobile web as a viewing option.

“Smart phones and data plans are more affordable than ever,” says Catrina Sheridan, vice president of products and marketing at dotMobi, a U.K.-based mobile Internet services firm, “and consumers are developing a familiarity and comfort with mobile content via their handsets. These factors make mobile video very attractive for marketers.”

Here are six key trends that are unfolding right now in the mobile video world that you don’t want to miss:

iPhone users are leading the charge: Equipped with a YouTube app right on its welcome screen, the iPhone put mobile video on the map when it made its debut in 2008. With its original model now priced at $99, expect the iPhone to boost the number of mobile video users even further. “By the holiday season we expect to see a lot more consumers being able to view videos on their cell phones,” says Eyal Yechezkell, CEO at New York-based Predicto Mobile, which touts itself as the largest “paid” mobile community.

Mobile video isn’t “one size fits all”: Not all phone models support the same video format, nor does all video appear “correctly” on the hundreds of different smart phones available on the market today. “Be sure the footage you shoot is supported by the audience you’re going after,” advises Sheridan. “You don’t want to create content for an iPhone audience in a format that the phone can’t play.” (Test your content before publishing it by going to http://deviceatlas.com/).

Apps are gaining traction: Highly unique, with focused functionality, apps for iPhone, Palm and Blackberry users are revolutionizing the mobile experience. Just three days after its app store celebrated its one-year anniversary in July, Apple’s 65,000-strong app store hit the 1.5 billion download mark. Verizon Wireless and Sony Ericsson both threw their hats into the ring this year, with Verizon launching a carrier-branded store later this year and Sony Ericsson adding mobile apps to its PlayNow content offering. 

Marketers demand more accountability: High on San Francisco-based online advertising firm 1020 Placecast’s list of “interactive advertising trends to watch right now” is the use of new, improved metrics to measure ad performance. The company points to “view-through,” a method for gauging the impact of an ad that a consumer sees but does not click on, as a particularly useful tool for users of mobile video. View-through records a consumer’s exposure to a specific display ad, and then measures when that consumer returns to the advertiser’s site during a later session. Placecast says the tool is popular among marketers who want a more accurate measurement of their mobile video efforts.

The medium plays well with others: Mobile video goes hand-in-hand with YouTube by allowing consumers to view user-generated content “on the go.” It also adapts well in the growing online social networking arena, where users share video content in a viral fashion. “Combine all of these elements,” says Sheridan, “and the end result is a huge, democratic marketing system that’s applicable for companies of all sizes.”

Handset makers are answering the call: Whereas smartphones with data capabilities were once the domain of executives and the well-off, they are now commonplace among all consumers. “Anyone using a newer phone these days can ‘consume’ any type of media, including ringtones, graphics and videos,” says Yechezkell. “As more and more of these sophisticated devices are purchased and used, marketers should be looking at how to promote their products via mobile video and/or the mobile Web.”

With consumers checking their mobile phones the minute they wake up in the morning, before they go to bed and every few minutes during the day, Yechezkell says mobile video is a medium that no marketer can afford to miss out on. To maximize their investments in this arena, he says “test, test, test…and then test again” before putting any content out there for consumers to view.

“Use different types of ads to see how your audience reacts, and then adjust accordingly,” Yechezkell says. “Make your call to action very clear (using a ‘click here’ button, for example), test out different banner sizes and inventories to find the right niche for your product in the mobile world.”

Among the brands that ponied up millions for a piece of the Super Bowl this year was PepsiCo beverage Amp Energy. While its 15-second TV spots didn’t venture far from the proven realms of Big Game locker-room humor—one featured an overweight truck driver starting a stalled-out car via jumper cables hooked up to his nipples—a quieter, related effort was reaching much further out. How far? Well, to people who might not even have had the game on at all. As part of its NFL deal, Amp Energy sponsored Sprint’s exclusive Super Bowl mobile channel, which allowed it to run ads via cell phone. A photo of the Amp can materialized on cell phone screens along with music, swirling green flames and the tagline “Go Amp Yourself.” (Hopefully, none of those cell phone users elected to do it with jumper cables.)

When a Super Bowl ad effort stretches into the cellular realm, it’s surely a sign that mobile marketing has arrived, right? After all, even though the third-screen spot was a timid boil-down of the in-your-face TV version, the very idea of adapting a commercial for mobile distribution would have seemed like an alien concept only a few years ago.

Today it is a reality, sort of. Around this time 12 months ago, experts were busy touting mobile marketing as the Next Big Thing. It wasn’t. And not a whole lot is different. Mega brands like Pepsi and Burger King are still toe-dipping in the mobile pool, testing various forms of advertising and promos even as the bulk of their spending dollars go elsewhere.

As mobile expert John Hadl puts it: “It’s hard to get a real read on the value of mobile when you’re only spending $25,000 to $50,000 on it.”

But things are beginning to change. Mobile marketing is “headed in the right direction,” said John Vail, director of the interactive marketing group at Pepsi-Cola North America, Purchase, N.Y. “It’s just taking a lot longer than people thought.” Mobile analytics firms such as U.K.-based Bango are helping companies measure mobile Web site traffic, what devices recipients used and the countries they’re in. In February, 58 million mobile subscribers reported that they’d already been exposed to mobile advertising, per San Francisco-based Nielsen Mobile (a unit of Nielsen Co., which also owns Brandweek). While that’s only 23% of today’s total mobile subscribers, that number will spike as marketers’ mobile experiments continue to grow. And Hadl, who serves as managing partner of Beverly Hills-based BrandInHand, overseer of Procter & Gamble’s mobile efforts, added that a threshold is approaching: “Once there’s direct proof of ROI,” he said, “the spend will shift faster than the industry can handle.”

That might happen as soon as two years from now. Forrester Research forecasts that mobile-marketing spending in the U.S. will surge from the $270 million it stands at now to $405 million in 2009. Then it all goes exponential, doubling every year through 2012, at which point the Cambridge, Mass.-based research firm predicts mobile marketing will be worth $2.8 billion.

Marketers view the mobile marketing explosion as “inevitable,” said Bill Jones, president of Atlanta-based mobile Internet platform provider Air2Web, which counts Starbucks and UPS as clients. Some are “really trying to accelerate” the channel because “properly used it is the most effective mechanism to interact with customers and prospects.”

All of which begs the question: How can marketers profitably use mobile devices to deliver their brand messages right now?

What follows are some of the answers. Like many emergent ideas in the tech realm, mobile marketing’s birth has been attended by as much fantasy as reality, and marketers are learning the painstaking (and, at times, just painful) differences between the two. For instance, studies repeatedly show that many consumers don’t like to get ads on their phones. (A mere 10% of mobile data users deem ads received via PDAs to be acceptable, according to Nielsen Mobile.) At the same time, a third of the same respondents said they’d be OK with seeing ads, so long as the spots offset their mobile bills—say, via free minutes. “That,” said Nielsen Mobile corporate marketing vp Paul Okimoto, “is where we’re starting to see an uptick.”

No doubt, we’ll start to see many more of those. For now, here’s the story on the mobile-marketing phenom today—both fantasy and reality.

REALITY

Customers dig mobile games.

Videogames were once synonymous with geekdom, but one glance at who’s using a Wii these days (including AARP members and the physically disabled, at last check) shows how dated that stereotype is. This love affair has carried over to mobile devices. In fact, some watchers are now predicting that the global revenue from mobile games will eventually surpass that of traditional console and handheld versions. According to U.K.-based consultancy Understanding & Solutions, mobile gaming is expected to hit $6 billion by 2011.

Some brands are already prepared to embrace this passion by offering free downloadable games for mobile devices that keep their brand front and center. The latest is BK City, debuting April 21, an elaborate game with three worlds (five games in each) ranging from a castle to a BK drive-thru. It will be available across all carriers except for Verizon. POP, online ads and mobile ads, of course, will support the effort. BK City is the latest creation of Mobliss, Seattle, whose prior efforts include Nickelodeon’s Rugrats Food Fight and Brady Bunch Kung Fu.

“A lot of what mobile content advertisers throw out there is cheesy,” said Tia Lang, director of media and interactive for the Miami-based chain. But, “as players progress, our game gets more difficult. It’s fun, funny and relevant to our target.”

FANTASY

People will never use their phones to buy stuff.

Think again. Remember when everyone was worried about using credit cards online? Even some tech-savvy shoppers wrung their hands over cyberthieves stealing their identities and draining their savings accounts. (Psst—it rarely happens.) Even as those same worries have swirled around mobile banking and on-the-go transactions, the truth is that a quarter of cell users with mobile Web access have already trusted their handheld devices to do their shopping, according Harris Interactive, Rochester, N.Y. Sixteen percent already use mobile banking services and one-in-five respondents hope their phone becomes a mobile wallet.

Smarter brands are beginning to respond. In January, Pizza Hut began allowing U.S. consumers to order from any of its 6,200 stores using the mobile Web or text messaging. The chain said it expects half its sales to come online or via mobile devices within the next five years. Papa John’s began offering the ability to text in orders last November.

“If privacy and security issues can be caged, mobile banking and mobile wallet services could launch the next leg up for mobile operators,” predicted Joseph Porus, vp of Harris Interactive’s technology practice. Rajeev Raman, CEO of mywaves, a mobile video destination whose clients include MBW, concurs. In the near future, he said, “purchasing movie tickets, fast food and music via mobile phones will be considered normal, everyday behavior.”

REALITY

Convenience works.

Skip the cleverisms; brands that give consumers information that makes their lives easier are the ones that’ll benefit. “That’s why we bought the phone in the first place,” Hadl said.

Starbucks, for example, makes it easy to find the nearest latte with a mobile-based store locator. When is that blue turtleneck you ordered going to show up? UPS will let you track the whereabouts of your package on your mobile device.

“Too many people pigeonhole mobile marketing as just being ringtones or wallpapers,” said Air2Web’s Jones, whose company created both applications. Brands that sponsor services that tell users things like where the is nearest baby-changing station or where is the store where I can buy what I need, will thrive, added Hadl of BrandinHand. “Soon,” he said, “mobile devices won’t simply be a push medium.”

FANTASY

Texting (aka SMS) isn’t effective.

Like hell it isn’t. While many are looking at mobile video, the mobile Web and other features, the simple, text-only brand campaign often still is what works the best. Why? Because even the oldest, most primitive cell phones out there have the technology that lets people receive a text promo and respond to one. Plus, the practice of text messaging has already been widely adopted.

In December, 1-800-Free411 attached ads sent to users who opted in to receive text horoscopes, diet tips and other information from a company called Limbo. While the free-information service usually gets about 40,000 to 50,000 new callers daily, that volume shot up to nearly 80,000 a day after the mobile ads ran. Overall, Limbo received a 7.1% response rate for text ads it ran for its clients in the fourth quarter.

“The forgotten technology of SMS will be a much bigger factor in digital spends than anyone is predicting,” said Jonathan Linner, CEO of Limbo, Burlingame, Calif., who’s amused that so many marketers are buzzing about putting a movie or banner ad on a cell phone. Those people, he said, “Don’t’ get it yet. You’ll get 10 times better performance from SMS.”

REALITY

The iPhone’s changed everything.

One of the biggest hang-ups (pun intended) for mobile marketers is the lack of “high” in the tech. We’re talking about antideluvian cell phones that everybody was carrying around prior to last summer, when the Apple iPhone hit stores. In January, CEO Steve Jobs had promised the iPhone would “reinvent” telecommunications. Some disagreed. Some still do. But mobile-marketing advocates generally aren’t among them. The average iPhone user over the age of 18 is five times more likely to explore the mobile Web and 11 times more likely to use mobile video or TV, per Nielsen Mobile. An iPhone-toting American also is 70% more likely to use SMS.

“Look no further than the iPhone for proof that improving the device and user interface can radically increase media consumption,” said John Najarian, svp-media and business development at the Comcast Entertainment Group, who oversees E!’s mobile page.

Better still, the iPhone’s popularity has meant lower-price imitators—triggering a new generation of “smart phones” that experts like Chetan Sharma, co-author of the just-released book Mobile Advertising, believe will make up as many as 20% of the domestic market in two years. (More powerful data pipelines as well as all-you-can-eat data plans will help, too.) Thanks to the iPhone, Sharma said, Americans finally think the cell phone “is more than just something you talk with.”

FANTASY

It’s getting easier to run mobile marketing programs.

Dream on. It still takes about two months to get a major carrier like AT&T or Verizon to approve a text program. And that, according to Gene Keenan, vp-mobile services at Isobar, San Francisco, and vice chairman of the Mobile Marketing Assn., Denver, is “ridiculous.”

“You can by a URL and have a Web site up in two hours,” Keenan said. “It’s still way too hard for brands and agencies to do mobile.” Even worse: “Until it’s easier for big brands to participate, you won’t see the big money.”

Keenan and experts like him have likened carriers to walled gardens: nice to be part of, but good luck getting in. They exert authoritarian control over their on-deck content (that’s the proprietary stuff available only to subscribers) and move with Soviet-style bureaucratic slowness in approving marketing programs.

For instance, WAP sites and banner ads have to be customized by handset and by carrier. “It introduces a lot of complexity,” Sharma said. “You can’t press a button and have a program launch nationwide. You have to negotiate everything and get your content approved.”

But stay tuned; fantasy might turn to reality by this time next year. “You can get over the wall,” Hadl said. “You’ll get hot and sweaty doing it, but you can get over. AOL already proved that this [walled approach] is a model for failure.”

REALITY

The mobile ecosystem is evolving rapidly.

Quick as the pace of technology is, sometimes it never seems quick enough. But mobile advocates hamstrung by tools that haven’t kept pace with their marketing dreams may soon be doing a high-tech jig. In November, Google announced Android, a new Linux-based operating system for mobile. Microsoft just inked a deal with Nokia that’ll bring its Silverlight platform to mobile. And this quarter, Yahoo! will launch what it calls onePlace, a mobile bookmarking tool that will allow better control of information. These developments come on the heels of AOL’s ’07 purchase of Third Screen Media, a company that serves banner ads to mobile Web sites. Nokia bought the mobile agency Enpocket last year, too.

All of it, said Sharma, means that “there’s a cautious optimism” out there. “Optimism, because of the uniqueness and reach mobile presents. Caution because of the enormous fragmentation in the industry.”

FANTASY

There is one killer application.

Just like Gilda Radner and Dan Aykroyd debated whether New Shimmer was a floor wax or a dessert topping (it’s both!) on Saturday Night Live, each marketer seems to have his own miracle claim for mobile marketing. And so far, nobody’s quite nailed it.

Take GPS-enabled initiatives, which some see as the potential holy grail of mobile marketing. CBS Mobile announced a test earlier in the year that’ll pinpoint ads to customers based on where they happen to be standing, and Burger King’s Lang has been lovingly nurturing the idea of “serving customers an ad at lunchtime, asking them if they’re hungry.” The problem? “Those kinds of things are fantasy.”

Hardly the only one. “My fantasy is offering Pepsi Smash [music programming] as video-on-demand optimized for the third screen for millions to view,” Vail said. P&G, General Mills and others are currently in test with Cellfire, a company whose technology allows customers to store e-coupons on their cell phones.

There’s the dream of direct-to-consumer mobile video, alive in the mind of BMW Mini as it kicked off a program with mywaves in January. Still others are excited about mobile search; more than 46 million used their phones to search for information in the third quarter of last year, per Nielsen Mobile.

Alex Muller will tell you that GPS-driven mobile marketing won’t be a fantasy for much longer (then again, he’s CEO of GPShopper, which enables mobile-using customers to track down the best deals on stuff they want to buy.) “There will be a point,” he said, “where flipping through a paper circular won’t make sense.”

REALITY

There needs to be standards.

Mobile marketing is still a lot like the Wild West: a landscape of many players of various reputes, each a competitor peddling his wares and promises. “We need to develop more standards to reduce the friction out there,” said Jordan Berman, executive director of media innovation at AT&T Mobility, New York. “There needs to be more uniformity about how programs get off the ground. I’m on the MMA board of directors and we all agree it is a confusing marketplace out there.”

Then again, people said much the same thing about the Web itself when it was new. The growing pains, Berman said, are natural: “Online is like a toddler; mobile marketing is still in the womb.”

Camera
The V3m’s 1.3-megapixel camera, located on the front of the flip, takes bluish, washed-out photos with some blurry edges, and the usual 176-by-144, 15-second-max videos. Videos streamed through V cast were quite sharp, though talking heads were out of sync as usual. You store photos either in the 30MB of onboard memory or on a microSD card you buy yourself. The microSD memory card lets you transfer music and photos to and from the phone using a PC-based card reader. The phone also has a WMA music player capable of playing music from Verizon’s own V Cast Music store or music from your own collection. .

Performance
The V3c is too small to be loaded with features, so that’s about all you’ll get. If you buy from Verizon, you’ll find easy menu options for downloading video, new ringtones, screen backgrounds, and games, but remember that those extras are all steeply priced. The test phone we got didn’t include a single game, which seems awfully ungenerous. When opened, the V3c displays the cool silver-and-blue number pad that the Motorola RAZR mobile phone is known for. It looks high-tech, without being confusing. While the buttons appear to be perfectly flat, they do have a nice little bit of push to them, so you’re never wondering if you’ve hit a button all the way. The button layout is fairly standard, with two contextual buttons, a circular navigation pad, and calls start and stop buttons. The only additions are dedicated buttons for calling up the camera and clearing what you last entered. Three other buttons on the top part of the mobile phone, on either side of the screen, let you turn on the speakerphone, adjust the volume, and activate the voice command mode.

I just bought an Iphone. on Itunes I hastily a software update, then itunes come up with an error. Now the iphone is in recent times showing the apple logo, and a swirly round loading sign (i think) at the bottom. Aaaarghh? Why? What do I do?

Woo hoo! This iPhone 4g could also have dual core processors and higher and powerful graphic chips that can deliver higher video resolutions and better “still” images when taking pictures.

There are a few networks working on building a 4G network. T-mobile would be a likely carrier since they are GSM already. Sprint has a 4G network already… AT&T and Verizon Wireless are in the beginning stages. There are talks of Verizon Wireless getting iPhone sometime in 2010 since the exclusive contract with AT&T expires, but it could be renewed until 2012.

Rather or not it will be 4G will be up to them!… can they build in time? Regardless, there is much anticipation on how many people will leave AT&T for Verizon Wireless because of AT&T’s lagging on MMS (pictures inside texts, or Multi Media Messaging) and app restrictions like Slingplayer and Google Voice.

AT&T’s restrictions have caused the percentage of people that are JailBreaking their iPhones is on the rise since Jail Breaking usually comes with Cydia which is the app store for jail broken phones. Most of the applications, ringtones, and even iphone themes!…are free with Cydia. Winterboard is part of the download, and it very easily add’s the changes to your phone so you dont have to figure how to do it on your own…it is VERY automated.

The Palm Pre on Sprint (Sprint now offering a 4G network) has made an attempt at being competitive with iPhone and Blackberry…but it’s not looking good. Maybe their recent Android phone will help.

iPhone 4G looks promising in terms of being sleek, packed with new hardware and multi-tasking software.

A few features of iPhone 4G:

A new, sleeker body design.

OLED screen.

Multi-Tasking. (use multiple functions at once without going in and out of apps)

iChat camera (on the front so you can have video chat!!!)

32G (basic) and 64G of memory.  Your sure to never run out.

REMOVABLE BATTERY!

Video Camera Capabilities.

Messaging light.

True GPS built in.

A standard headphone jack!
