Mobile 2.0




Characteristics of Mobile 2.0

  • Social networking on the mobile
  • "Network as platform" — delivering (and allowing users to use) applications entirely through a mobile browser, or, for local applications, leveraging services on the web
  • Extensive use of User-Generated Content , so that the site is owned by its contributors
  • Leveraging services on the web via mashups
  • Leveraging to its fullest all the capabilities of the device, and the mobile context, delivering a rich mobile user experience




Implementations of Mobile 2.0


Mobile 2.0 is still at the development stage but there are already a range of sites available, both for so-called "smartphones" and for more ordinary mobile phones. The largest mobile telecoms body, the GSM Association, representing companies serving over 2 billion users, is backing a project called Telco 2.0, designed to drive this area.

Early innovators include companies such as Red Circle Technologies, with a mobile labs framework to support users developing Mobile 2.0 sites.
