Smartphone Platforms

iPhoneLanguage: Objective-C ; CocoaTouch frameworkDifficulty: Very steep learning curve but gets much easier after thatTools:
Hardware: Mac (pretty expensive)
Software: Xcode (free); iPhone SDK
Pros:
Very comprehensive APIs, very well documented
The iPhone is a great platform esp for consumer level apps
Ready online market place for your apps
Free tools (once you have the costly hardware)
Cons
Very different programming style
Expensive to get a handset to test on
You need specific hardware
Marketplace controlled by Apple; 70-30 revenue sharing; Apps have to be approved by Apple first

Symbian

Pros:Familiar programming modelVery comprehensive APIs, very well documentedReady online market place for your appsOpen source OSSymbian Foundation backs the development of SymbianHandsets are readily availableMany device types and manufacturers – Samsung, LG, NokiaFree tools
ConsNeeds some good experience with C++
31
BlackBerry

Language: Several options: Java, .NETDifficulty: For Java, if you are familiar with Java ME you’ll be great. .NET is by nature not so hardTools:Hardware: PCSoftware: For Java: Plugin for Eclipse, Blackberry JDE; For .NET: Plugin for VS; MDS Studio
Pros:Options for programming languages and toolsVery comprehensive APIs, very well documentedGood for enterprise appsHandsets are readily availableFree tools
ConsIMHO perhaps not the best for consumer appsWriting apps for different Blackberry devices can get tricky; have to pick the right version of tools for the right OS versionOnly one device manufacturer RIM
32
General Guidance to Smartphone Development
Pick a platform
Learn a bit about the OS in general– Understand the environment in which your app
will run
– How the OS treats scenarios like multi-tasking
– Could help with things like performance tuning
Get the tools
Learn the APIs
Design is key for consumer apps

The convergence of payments and mobile communications is not just logical
– it is inevitable”
John Philip Coghlan, Visa USA CEO March 2007

What is Mobile Financial Services ?
Source: Mobile Payment series 2009: www.mpayconnect.com
41
Mobile Payment Platforms • Mobile Banking: This will enable users to transfer money from account to account, pay bills, manage/monitor account e.g. spending limits, credit fraud. . e.g. Mobile banking platform providers – Promptnow, mFoundry and Firethron.
•Remote Purchase: Using the mobile phone to purchase goods through a secure portal, instead of a computer on the internet. e.g. PayPal’s "Text-to-Buy" enables users to make remote purchases.
Person to person mobile payments: Where a mobile device can be used to complete a person-to-person transaction.
Point-of-Sale: Using a mobile device at a physical store front, at the cash register to purchase inexpensive products quickly and easily. “

Mobile Payment Evolution

What does it take to replace cash?
44
Some Key ConceptsMobile Remote Payment It covers payments that take place online, in which the mobile phone is used as a device to authenticate personal information stored remotely
Mobile Proximity Payment It refers generally to contactless payments in which the payment credential is stored in the mobile and is exchanged over the air, based on NFC technology, with a dedicated and compatible payment terminal.
Near Field Communication It is a short-range radio frequency communication technology that enables NFC devices located no more than a few centimeters from each other to exchange data. NFC devices are totally compatible with existing contactless technologies like smart cards and contactless stickers.

NFC
NFC allows a device to read and write a contactless card, act like a contactless card and even connects to another NFC device to exchange data.
3 modes :
– Card reading (MIFARE …)
– Peer to peer (initiator & target)
– Card emulating
Distance : 0 - 20 centimeters
Bandwidth to 424 kbits/s

Mobile Apps for Airlines
51
Mobile Ecosystem for Airline
Level 1, the basics: providing mobile versions of existing web services.
Level 2, additional “anytime, anywhere” services: enhancing user experience with specific services for people on the road.
Level 3, contextually intelligent services: understanding a traveler’s context in real time and proactively building the service experience around it.

52
Level 1: Basics
Establishing a mobile presence, almost always as an extension of services already available through the web channel
Either Mobile Apps or Mobile Webs
Check schedules, flight status, gate, loyalty program status, book, cancel, check-in, use paperless boarding passes, search and find loyalty program partners, get flight alerts, and more.

the excellent job it does by focusing on utility, with simple tools for mobile check-in, flight and gate status and managing reservations.
NWA recognizes that its mobile users are Internet users, too, so it keeps the experiences consistent

United Airlines
United’s mobile site also failed to cut the mustard, suggesting the airline needs to concentrate its efforts on user experience.
“...browser crashes, poor information display and limited functionality.”

Mobile Apps : Other Features
Virgin Atlantic has apps to handle jetlag and fear of flying.
Qantas has an augmented reality app to help people find their local partners’ venues.
Alitalia allows users to track lost luggage.
American Airlines provides very useful terminal maps.
Lufthansa has a social flying application where travelers can interact with other LH travelers with similar interests nearby, and find pals to share cabs.

Level 2: “anytime, anywhere” services
More direct: It’s more than the web: it follows users everywhere, it’s always available in their pocket.
More unbundling.Mobile allows an airline to keep that upselling door permanently open. Passenger must be able to access and book additional options at any time.
More cross-sell. Mobile is also an ideal channel to cross-sell additional services at the right time.
– Example: If a traveler needs to book a cab upon arrival, allow them to do it in one click while in the departure lounge
Source: A different look at the future of airline mobile apps: Martin Collings [shearwaterblog.wordpress.com]
64
Level 2: “anytime, anywhere” services
More loyalty. Building loyalty has several components, starting with service excellence, understanding travelers’ needs,
More customer service. Being closer to travelers also means being easy to be reached when needed. Click-to-call, click-to-callback, video calls and more
Source: A different look at the future of airline mobile apps: Martin Collings [shearwaterblog.wordpress.com]
65
Level 3: contextual intelligence
By combining PNR data, location, time, and loyalty data, the airline is in a unique position to make educated guesses about the context of each traveler.
Examples– If a traveler arrives early at the airport, they’d be
interested in special offers for a lounge pass or to cafés/restaurants near their departure gate. But they would not like any of these offers if they arrive late – you would just annoy them.
Source: A different look at the future of airline mobile apps: Martin Collings [shearwaterblog.wordpress.com]
66
Innovative Areas
Using location services to optimize operations– e.g. No more ‘last call for Mr Jones’:
More real-time feedback.– e.g. Luggage problems can be shared with customers
more proactively
Fraud detection.– Double checking data owned by the airline with other
data available from the mobile carrier
– when a customer books on a website with a name different from the name registered as the phone owner

AirAsia Facebook
Hitting one million fans on its Facebook page at the end of May 2011, becoming the first airline outside the US to do so
Karen Chan, AirAsia’s Interactive Marketing Manager– “Social media is like having a housewarming party. First you
create the most innovative, creative invite so that the recipients will want to share it with their friends to attend the party. Once you have all your guests at the party, you will need to know what you’ll be serving on the table, the kind of music you are going to spin, and the activities at the party so that everyone will go back happy and rave about what a great time they had at your party.”
