(in no particular order)

5. Apps
   
1. Nokia viNes
2. Nokia SportsTracker
3. ShoZu
4. Qik

6. The future of mobile

Cyprien's Topics:

1. Potential to access course materials on mobile phones. What are people
   doing at other schools (iphone stanford comes to mind as well as MIT).
   What is the potential.
2. What about citizen journalism.  We are currently doing a pilot with CJ
3. Bot Garden
1. Use mobile devices to structure data collection about Magnolia plants
   in the bot garden. We have a 25 years of data on Magnolias. We would
   love to get the 'lay public' collecting data.
2. Another option is to use N95 class phones to keep 'farm journals'.
   These are typically done by writing notes at the end of the day and
   invariably never get done.  Perhaps using N95s we would have a good
   record.
3. project to map all the trees on campus.

7 Things you should know about Mobile

1. Act Locally
   
1. Mobile Muse: Partners, Whistler and Fearless - Video (LiveCast), SIFT, MMS, SMS, Location Based Services, Big Screen Applications (slideshow, direction finding), VJ, SIFT, Voice, March 6th (SAT and Fearless cross country live multimedia text, audio, video, art mashup, danceparty and celebration)
   
2. Nitobi and PhoneGap - similar to Palm's WebOS - develop real apps using Web developer techniques (CSS, HTML, Javascript) not "real" developer techniques like Objective C - phonegap.com, nitobi.com
3. Parveen Kaler - http://smartfulstudios.com/
   
4. Handi Mobility - Translink iPhone App
   
5. Nokia - games and research
   
6. CellMap.ca - Can Pages with video and FireTouch iPhone apps
   
7. Nambu Network - Gersham Meharg
8. Share with the local community and the world!
   
9. Participate in DemoCamp, BarCamp, Northern Voice, etc
   
2. Think Globally
1. UBC is not a learning island
2. Follow the global platforms but they are means to an end and to getting people aware not an end in itself
   
3. Develop what makes sense given your core competencies and the mobile devices your global community uses or you can get for them i.e. both push the envelope and develop for LCD i.e. SMS, you can do a lot with SMS
   
4. Follow Europe, Asia (Philippines, India and other so-called 3rd world countries), Korea and Japan
   
3. Mobile != just cellphone
1. Tyranny of the SIM card
2. Tyranny of the bandwidth oligopoly
3. Why can't I control which devices use which bandwidh like I do at home with WiFi and Ethernet without a maze of twisty data plans :-( ? You will!
4. In the future every device will be connected wirelessly to the net.
   
4. Use the mobile context, Luke!
1. Use the sensors
2. Adapt the software and its UI to the context from the sensors
   
5. Mobile is the centre of the universe
1. This is where Apple is vulnerable
2. Why should I need  MacOS  or Windows or iTunes to work with with my mobile phone?
3. Do not overestimate the iPhone, do not underestimate the iPhone
4. Still in time of experimentation, chaos and opportunity
5. Apple still vulnerable for creatives with high end creative needs
1. e.g. high resolution cameras - 2 megapixel s*cks
2. e.g. high resolution video - 640x480 streaming and higher, Use the built-in Nokia camera app; it's fantastic!
   
3. e.g. true background processing like Nokia viNes, ShoZu, Qik
   
6. Open wins in the end
1. Open Source Hardware like the Bug from Bug Labs - a harbinger, perhaps not the be-all end all
   
2. Open Source software infrastructure like S60, Android
   
3. Open Source apps
7. Yes We Can
1. This is not a time for cynicism or navel gazing, it's a time to take risks by doing things to "Save the world". Food, Land, Agriculture are critical components of this. And mobile can help enliven the real world and connect us more deeply and richly with the real world 1000 year tradition of food, agriculture and the land
   
2. We are not a ghetto or backwater, we are what we think we are!
   
3. At the bottom, the opportunity is greatest
4. I am available to help design, love to work on mobile apps with you. e.g.  Love to work on a food related app with you !
