Questions- What type of content do you consume using a mobile device? What kind of content have you created for mobile devices? What kind of content would you like to create for mobile devices.
I have to admit maybe a year ago the only thing I did on a mobile device was call and txt, even though if you ask my parents that's all I did was txt. I was a txt-a-holic. Anyway, I have to say I "Live Large" and it's hard to wrap my hands around a handheld device because of the size of my hands and the lack of room on the device. I would always lose interest and go to a bigger more stationary device like a computer, laptop, or gaming system. Just recently, like two or three months ago, purchased an itouch. If you look back at my blogs from another class you would find out I am a tech-a-holic. I always have to have the latest greatest thing. I just got into handheld devices because of the need to be on the move and have access my e-mail for work. I told teachers if they needed my help, then the best idea was to e-mail me, and I didn't realize how hard it was to lug my laptop around campus to keep up with my e-mail. So now I use my mobile device to check my e-mail.
When I first got my itouch, my plan was to use it for my music and my e-mail. Well I found all the applications that I could have on it, I downloaded plenty of them. The most recent application was one to make it easier for me to check on my banking account. I also recently added the twitter application and a game called tap tap (something like guitar hero, but with your fingers). So now you can say that I have gone towards using handhelds because of the simplicity and mobility. It takes so long for me to start my 5 year old computer and get to where I'm going. With my mobile device it takes minutes and then I can turn it off with ease. Now if there was an application to access Blackboard???? Now theres a thought!!!!

The size of the screen and keyboard are certainly an issue. Maybe that is why kids like these devices more than adults, just a matter of finger size!
ReplyDeleteI've played that game tap tap. How fun! Lugging around a laptop to check e-mail is such a drag. Having the mobile devices are the perfect size, especially when you have to walk to the middle of campus to get to the library in 103 degree weather. YUCK!
