All successful services and applications are based on positive user experiences. Creating compelling experiences for mobile users involves marrying many elements. Technology must be hidden and the options offered clear, intuitive and simple.
Achieving these objectives requires a deep understanding of the user’s goals, the environment or context in which the service is most likely accessed, user capabilities, handset features, and the resources in the mobile network. In addition we will discuss the impact of new technologies for visual user interfaces, gestures.
