 <title>EC Drops Qualcomm Antitrust Probe</title>
 <link>http://education.sys-con.com/node/1202183</link>
 <description>After four years of inquiries, the European Commission simply dropped its antitrust investigation of Qualcomm’s 3G and 4G patent licensing Tuesday after Ericsson and five other mobile network equipment makers withdrew their complaints. The company paid a record $208 million fine to the Korea Fair Trade Commission this summer, a decision that Qualcomm is appealing. Japan told Qualcomm to knock it off. &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://education.sys-con.com/node/1202183&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Retalika Turns Mobile Phones Into Smart Phones</title>
 <link>http://education.sys-con.com/node/1201936</link>
 <description>Retalika, the first provider of an end-to-end solution enabling retailers to sell mobile content and services, in store, online, and on the mobile phone is expanding in the UK and Europe. Today the mobile content and services market is driven by tech-savvy early adopters who have bought expensive smart phones, fuelling double-digit growth expected to be worth $344(i) billion by 2013. However, althoughretailers account for over 50% of mobile handset sales they have very little presence in this new market. Retalika is now bringing mobile content and services to the mass-market through retailers using its patent pendingplatform technology. This allows retailers to easily and quickly select, sell and deploy a range of compelling mobile applications and services to their customers.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://education.sys-con.com/node/1201936&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Adobe Fiddles with its Web Apps</title>
 <link>http://education.sys-con.com/node/1201762</link>
 <description>Adobe put out this press release - well, kinda, it was released at 6am Saturday morning and the company didn&#039;t bother to tell its staff about it, least of all its sales people. Anyway, it&#039;s about how Acrobat.com, Adobe&#039;s contribution to the flock of Office-challenging web apps, has hit its first upgrade, adding a bunch of reportedly user-requested features - like a prettier interface - as well as smartphone integration. Since Acrobat.com is based on Flash, guess that&#039;s a way to get a hint of Flash on the forbidden iPhone. Maybe Adobe hopes Steve Jobs won&#039;t notice.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://education.sys-con.com/node/1201762&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Doesn’t Anybody Look Things Up Anymore?</title>
 <link>http://education.sys-con.com/node/1185910</link>
 <description>This may feel like Christmas when all you get is ties but Samsung is launching its own smartphone operating system called bada, which it expects to compete with Android and LiMo. It’s not yet clear exactly what it is. Could be still another Linux variant. More likely it’s Samsung’s proprietary operating system with a new front-end. Samsung says it’ll be open so third-party developers can write to it and it’ll be backed by an app store. Carriers will be able to customize the thing. The first bada-based phones are scheduled to be out in 2H10. An SDK will be available in December 1. The word bada means ocean in Korean. Unfortunately it’s also a Shia Moslem concept of God.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://education.sys-con.com/node/1185910&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Mobile Healthcare in Developing Countries</title>
 <link>http://education.sys-con.com/node/1181435</link>
 <description>&lt;!-- [DocumentBodyStart:afc675f2-c55d-4188-b8dd-e17d6a0a39fe] --&gt;&lt;div class=&#039;jive-rendered-content&#039;&gt;&lt;p&gt;I attended the &lt;a class=&quot;jive-link-external-small&quot; href=&quot;http://guest.cvent.com/EVENTS/Info/Summary.aspx?i=a29c8304-0235-4b2a-b3db-a7d42ea801a9&quot;&gt;mHealth Summit&lt;/a&gt; organized by the &lt;a class=&quot;jive-link-external-small&quot; href=&quot;http://www.fnih.org/&quot;&gt;NIH &lt;/a&gt;in DC on October 29-30 to get a sense of the progress in the use of mobile technologies to improve health care. It is a fascinating area where mobile technology can make a real difference in the lives of many people, especially in developing countries (see a paper I wrote recently on behalf of Cisco and Intel &lt;a class=&quot;jive-link-external-small&quot; href=&quot;http://www.senzafiliconsulting.com/downloads/SenzaFili_HealthCareEmergingWiMAX.pdf&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It was an interesting meeting for someone like me working on the m side of the mHealth, as most of the attendees were from the health care community. This allowed me to get a better understanding of the perspective and requirements of the health care providers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It turns out that for most of the applications presented the requirements are very easy to meet. Most of the applications are still based on SMS, the only mobile data service that is truly ubiquitous. For SMS-based applications the requirements in terms of network infrastructure, devices, or user training are very limited, but the functionality that these applications offer is also limited. Increasingly rural areas in developing countries have access to wireline and wireless broadband. This will open more exciting opportunities to deliver improved healthcare through richer applications built on more intensive data exchanges and real-time video. An increasing number of trials are focusing on such technologies, but few were represented at the mHealth Summit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite the promise, mobile health care applications appear to be moving slowly from the trial stage to full deployments.&amp;#160; The Summit showcased a large number of promising applications, but in all cases they were still in early trial stage: available to few users, or still in development, and with very limited information on how effectively they improve care (compared to alternative, non-mobile solutions) and on what&amp;rsquo;s their ROI proposition to governments, health care providers and NGOs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Given that SMS have been around for decades now and that cellular coverage is good in most developing countries, we should be ready to move beyond trials to wide programs that use mobile technologies, available to wide areas and covering more than just a single condition or patient group.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Applications alone are not enough; they need to rely on an ecosystem that includes patients, health care workers, health care agencies, governments, NGOs, and cellular other wireless providers. Patricia Mecheal, from the &lt;a class=&quot;jive-link-external-small&quot; href=&quot;http://www.earth.columbia.edu/sections/view/9&quot;&gt;Earth Institute&lt;/a&gt;, insisted that we need to work in concert towards a common target, just like musicians do when they play in a symphony. This is a great challenge. As Vodafone&amp;rsquo;s Paul Davey remarked, &amp;ldquo;We need to find a common language&amp;#8221;.&amp;#160; Mobile and broadband operators, governments and health care agencies have only started to work together and still they have a very different view of the value chain, said Davey. The development of an ecosystem with a common language is a prerequisite to move beyond trials to full, nationwide deployments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Within such an ecosystem, it is crucial to ensure that applications work across networks, devices, languages. While solutions are available, proprietary solutions still seem to dominate efforts to ensure wide scalability and interoperability, although the trend is clearly for open source, standards-based solutions. Joel Selanikio, from &lt;a class=&quot;jive-link-external-small&quot; href=&quot;http://www.datadyne.org/&quot;&gt;DataDyne &lt;/a&gt;and developer of &lt;a class=&quot;jive-link-external-small&quot; href=&quot;http://www.episurveyor.org/&quot;&gt;EpiSurveyor&lt;/a&gt;, gave the most compelling presentation arguing that most applications for emerging countries fail to take advantage of open-source software approaches that can leverage tools already existing and can scale to large deployments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Attempts at quantifying the economic and health benefits of mobile healthcare applications seem to be very sparse and uneven. Suzanne Clough from &lt;a class=&quot;jive-link-external-small&quot; href=&quot;http://www.welldoc-communications.com/&quot;&gt;WellDoc&lt;/a&gt; presented an application for diabetes treatment with a well-thought evaluation process, but most presenters did not seem to have given much thought to the topic. The prevailing approach seemed to get a grant from an NGO, develop an application and showcase it in a trail; when done move on to the next trial. Perhaps not surprisingly, it was a representative of the pharma industry, Scott C. Ratzan, Johnson &amp;amp; Johnson, to remind the audience that we should not even get involved in a trial without developing a solid business model. NGOs and their research partners often make the case that a competitive market approach does not work in health care, and especially not in emerging markets. But why should it be the case? Health care systems in emerging market are subject to even tighter budget constraints than in developed markets and have an even greater need to deploy effective solutions. How could we get this approach to change to speed up effective, scalable deployments?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Monica Paolini&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;jive-link-email-small&quot; href=&quot;mailto:monica.paolini@senzafiliconsulting.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;monica.paolini@senzafiliconsulting.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:afc675f2-c55d-4188-b8dd-e17d6a0a39fe] --&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://education.sys-con.com/node/1181435&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>iPhone’s Got 100,000 Very Lonely Apps</title>
 <link>http://education.sys-con.com/node/1181208</link>
 <description>There are now 100,000 Apple iPhone/iPod apps – obviously some of the loneliest apps in the world – and two billion downloads. Apple’s App Store is now open in 77 countries. It started 16 months ago with 500 apps. By the way, Fortune has named Steve Jobs “CEO of the Decade.” The magazine’s piece on Jobs says he twice considered taking Apple private – once on Larry Ellison’s dime – or financing Larry arranged – and later in a leveraged buyout by Silver Lake Partners.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://education.sys-con.com/node/1181208&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <title>Regarding Google’s $750 Million Acquisition of AdMob</title>
 <link>http://education.sys-con.com/node/1179175</link>
 <description>“The news that Google acquired mobile advertising player AdMob for $750 million confirms the legitimacy of the mobile advertising industry, and overcomes any skepticism of whether small screens can offer big opportunities to reach mobile consumers,” says Dave Gwozdz, CEO of Mojiva Inc., which operates a mobile ad serving platform and mobile ad network. “The fact that Google has placed a premium on owning a mobile ad network is very notable. The market has definitely matured to the point where it makes sense for online behemoths to try to combine networks, analytics and delivery technologies in the hopes of capturing a share of this growing market.” &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://education.sys-con.com/node/1179175&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;read more&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

 <description>It was only a matter of time, especially as with the SDK 3.0, developing for an accessory was made possible. Now within the next few weeks Apple Retail will withdraw the Symbol based devices running Windows CE and replace it with an iPod Touch based device with custom credit card reader. Is that a cheer I hear? I&#039;ve always wondered when this will happen and initially the roll put will be in the US, but other countries will follow soon after.

 <title>Combining Twitter With Site Monitoring</title>
 <link>http://education.sys-con.com/node/1173739</link>
 <description>When Google&#039;s Gmail is down, thousands complain on Twitter. If Amazon has problems with its cloud services, you hear about it on Twitter. If a web hosting company has issues, you hear about it on Twitter. Twitter has given consumers a voice, and companies are listening. In other words, Twitter has become a discovery engine for service issues. But only if people effectively let the world know about those issues in the first place. Pingdom, a service that monitors the reliability of websites and services on the Internet, has now made it possible to automate this process. Pingdom users can choose to automatically send Twitter status messages when their monitored sites have downtime, notifying not just themselves, but the world.

 <description>Such consumer &amp; technology transformation has distorted the way &#039;Prosumer&#039; consume their products &amp; services, and interact with their mobile devices.

The average handset has evolved from the humble voice-box, to the total media centre. As a result thousands of start-up companies are profiting out of the Telecom sector&#039;s advances, supplying the various add-ons which inevitably accompany any new wave of technology.
