Who's doing stuff with Mobile Devices?
- stanford.terriblyclever.com
- iphoneapps.cit.cornell.edu (locked down at this point)
- RPI
- focusing on Blackberry for apps
- version of departmental web site for mobile devices
- Just making it smaller didn't work; don't just mobile-enable everything; focus on compelling content; put the content in one known place instead of shrinking existing sites
- Not worrying about type of device; too many variables
- Identified set of content and target audiences (calendaring, sports scores (esp. alumni), how to get around campus)
- Approached service providers but they are not that interested
Devices
- There is a wide range of devices and capabilities; May want to consider targeting particular devices
- Instead of focusing on devices, wrap you head around what the mobile paradigm is
- Cornell focuses on iPhone/iPod Touch because of the penetration in the student body
- Administration/facstaff may use Blackberries while students use iPhone
App/Content development
- iPhone app development is a bit locked down; various distribution methods but this can be the complex part
