The SuperPhone Revolution: Who will Profit from It, and How?
Presented by Sascha Pallenberg: We have been talking about the mobile revolution for ages. 2011 is the turning point and we, in Taiwan, are based at a hotspot of this industry. We’ll explore the new class of winners and how they’ll make money in this new landscape. What can we expect from the OEMs like HTC, Nokia and NVIDIA? What is the impact of the industry in the Greater China to the western world?

Pushing Boundaries: The New Wave of Mobile Content Delivery and SuperPhones
Jim Cathey will be discussing ways for developers to rethink the way they view content on mobile devices and how mirasol displays enables engineers to design better and do more in a handset. The technology has helped content producers like Conde Nast and Murdock’s media empire move their media onto mobile devices. Under Cathey’s leadership, QMT’s innovative mirasol display has transitioned from a little-known, emerging display technology to an award-winning product incorporated in a diverse portfolio of mobile devices. Cathey is a 17-year technology industry veteran and a recognized expert in the display sector, with experience spanning multiple display technologies such as field emission display (FED), liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS), organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and liquid crystal display (LCD).

Many thanks to all the participants & speakers and to the TechOrange Global team for posting this article: Mobile Monday Panel Discusses NFC and Mobile Marketing

The MoMo event of 2nd May was a great success. It has been a while since we hosted our last event and here we are again, with new speakers and a very intriguing topic.

This time we had Polo Wu, director of interactive media from Starcom Media, who shared with us a preview of the upcoming mobile Coca Cola ad campaign in Taiwan and the NFC application of a Coca Cola campaign in Israel.

Polo Wu also emphasized on the importance of  ” Humanity oriented development”. From a media agency’s point of view, it is the service that counts behind whatever technology. Consumers will not mind if they are not using the highest or most complicated technology, the important thing is whether the technology fulfills a need of our daily life.

Roger Chen, V.P. of FarEasTone, also mentioned the mental issue of Taiwanese consumers towards NFC payment. Mobile phones are not given such a mission as payment tool, and and that the easier way to introduce NFC  is open(marketing or non secure) application.

Laurent, C.E.O. of Toro Development, has been working on NFC solutions for four years. He believes that NFC is a game changer technology for mobile marketing. It will establish a “Pull” communication between advertisers and consumers, rather than the most practices one-way Push.

There was also a demonstration zone of NFC and smart posters, using Toro’s software platform: akami

Pull don’t Push: How will NFC Smart Posters affect advertising and marketing? Mobile contactless services and NFC Smart Posters are about to change people’s daily lives. NFC built into the Nexus S and the iPhone 5.0 heralds the start of contactless credit cards, opening the door to a whole new arena of mobile commerce, allowing users to carry cash and credit inside e-wallet applications. NFC software front-end platforms which focus on the end user experience will be very attractive for operators, advertisers and direct marketers.

Our speakers will present insights from the perspective of the telecommunication carrier (FarEasTone), brand and d agency (Starcom, Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble) and the software front-end which enables mobile advertising on the phone (Toro Development).

We will also share the latest news from the GMIC conference in Beijing.

Laurent Renard predicts the end of credit cards is coming. Pull don’t Push: How NFC Smart Posters will affect advertising and marketing. Mobile contactless services and NFC Smart Posters are about to change people’s daily lives. NFC built into the Nexus S and the iPhone 5.0 heralds the start of contactless credit cards, opening the door to a whole new arena of mobile commerce, allowing users to carry cash and credit inside e-wallet applications. NFC software front-end platforms which focus on the end user experience will be very attractive for operators, advertisers and direct marketers.

The company focuses on the front-end part of such services and provides the best possible user-experience corresponding to the NFC applications including marketing, CRM, gaming, social network. Laurent has been working in the smart card industry in Asia-Pacific for 3 years at FIME (part of OrangeBusiness Services) as director of the consulting department. Before that, he worked for 7 years at innovation consultancy firm NODE (now LOOP-Cn) in Spain and France.

We got a great event, that should be extremely relevant for our MoMo Taipei guests, with Wilson Mui from Jiepang and David Tsai from SPB Software.

David Tsai and the gang at SPB have recently launched their latest User Interface solution ( SPB Mobile Shell 5.0) that should be a real hit.
