Is now the right time to make it really big in mobile?
Major shifts are changing the game. These include open platforms, new entrants (iPhone, Android), new forms of access and the rise of off-deck apps. Until now, few start-ups have made it big on mobile. That's changing. New and unique applications are being developed for the mobile platform.
How mobile is different from the Web, and how developers can exploit this difference?
Developing application for Mobile is different from developing applications for the web. What are those differences and what does it mean for developers today, and long-term, as they write applications for mobile, and for companies managing their mobile/web strategies?
How do you make money on mobile?
You need traffic, which means content. You also need advertising. With mobile's segmented audience, you need to choose the right ways to market. How does all this work best on mobile? Who are the new players helping monetize on mobile? Some on Madison Ave are skeptical of mobile's promise. They want scale, simplicity and ways to measure success -- all of which are underdeveloped right now in mobile. What are the main business models? Advertising, classic subscription model, mobile virtual items.
