How do we give people

access to information

and other resources that

will enable them be all

they can be?

1 + 1 = 2

Mobile Web + Cloud Computing =

Mobile Cloud Computing

mobile web

Page 9: Mobile Cloud Computing

Mobile phones are

not the same as

desktop computers

Page 11: Mobile Cloud Computing

The complexity of the mobile world

• Multiple Operating Systems

• Multiple browsers

• Multiple devices etc

Page 12: Mobile Cloud Computing

Four major problems of the mobile web:

• Limited memory and storage

• Small display screens

• Flaky browsers

• Flaky connections

Page 13: Mobile Cloud Computing

1. Limited memory and storage

• Processing power

• Various data formats

• Depends on the device

• Data storage

• Storage is expensive

• Interoperability issues

Page 14: Mobile Cloud Computing

2. Small display screens

• Desktop version websites are optimized for

1024 x 768 pixels.

• There’s no way that will fit on a mobile

browser.

Page 15: Mobile Cloud Computing

Small display screens

• Solution lies in the realms of graphic and

interaction design.

• Technical solutions exist using CSS and

Javascript.

Page 16: Mobile Cloud Computing

3. Flaky Browsers

• There are MANY mobile browsers!

• They all vary in standards and modes of

rendering.

• Most are downloaded and tied to the devices

performance.

Page 17: Mobile Cloud Computing

Mobile Browsers

•Top Level:

• Android webkit, Safari, Opera Mobile

• Mid Level:

• S60 Webkit, Opera mini, Blackberry

• Bottom Level:

• NetFront, IE Mobile (old)

• Other Browsers:

• Iris, Bolt, Skyfire, Obigo, Fennec, Teashark

etc

Page 18: Mobile Cloud Computing

4. Flaky Connections

• Spotty outside urban areas

…that’s about it!

• Technical solutions using HTML5

Page 19: Mobile Cloud Computing

Solutions:

• Take data processing away from the mobile

phone and into the cloud.

• Create a common platform that all mobile

phones (try to) share in common e.g. mobile

web, sms and ussd.

Definition of POTENTIAL

• 1998: 3.9 BILLION Mobile Subscribers!

• 42.8 MILLION Mobile Cloud Computing

Subscribers!

• 2014: 5.2 BILLION Mobile Subscribers!!

• 998 MILLION Mobile Cloud Computing

Subscribers!!!

Page 22: Mobile Cloud Computing

• The power (and beauty) of this is the

number of users this concept has the

power to reach…especially in Africa!!!!

• Take note: CONCEPT not TECHNOLOGY

Page 23: Mobile Cloud Computing

Mobile Cloud Computing

• Concept

• Suitability

• Technology

• Attitude

Page 24: Mobile Cloud Computing

1. Concept

Innovation

Bespoke

Products

Services

Page 25: Mobile Cloud Computing

2. Suitability

• Ubiquity – Something novel to something

common.

• Certainty – Something little known to

something everybody knows and loves.

Page 26: Mobile Cloud Computing

3. Technology

“We have the technology!”

Page 27: Mobile Cloud Computing

4. Attitude

• Willingness to use it

• Africa needs this!

Page 28: Mobile Cloud Computing

What will Mobile Cloud Computing look like?

• Smartphones will increase in percentage.

• Feature phones will become more sophisticated.

• Lower end phones will be the driving force.

Page 29: Mobile Cloud Computing

What will Mobile Cloud Computing look like?

• Apps will be of two types:

• Native apps

• Web apps

Page 30: Mobile Cloud Computing

What will Mobile Cloud Computing look like?

• Faster mobile networks.

• Improved network connectivity outside urban

areas.
