The mobile phone industry has established a large customer base market, providing a wide range of mobile applications from voice and data services to digital media such as digital music, video and mobile gaming. As content becomes more widely available in digital form, it becomes easier to share, distribute, manipulate and copy if it is not properly controlled and encrypted. This development has triggered the concern over the issue of digital right management (DRM) that appears to be overlooked until recently. DRM is becoming increasingly important because it focuses on the protection of copyrighted data circulated via digital media. The awareness has motivated mobile phone manufacturers to invest and concentrate more on developing solutions to best protect the content of digital media on mobile devices which would benefit everyone involved in the market. Therefore, this paper will address the issue of protecting the content of digital media in Symbian OS mobile phones. It will analyse the features of Symbian DRM and TrustZone technology. Then, it suggests how the adoption of these technologies can be used in a theme park entrance using a secured E-pass stored on Symbian v8 OS mobile devices.

With the growing popularity of mobile technologies and the increasing use of groups within organizations (with members often distributed globally, and constantly "on-the-go"), question remains as to whether mobile collaboration technologies (MCTs) provide any additional benefits (over face-to-face and conventional CMC technologies) to such collaborations. We attempt to address this specific question by comparing features of MCTs with those of F2F and CMC technologies, and creating a typology of group collaboration that would benefit (or need) MCTs. Overall, the paper hopes to highlight the benefits of MCTs, and the contexts in which it will be most beneficial (perhaps even essential).

The industrial products and service industry is a product oriented industry, where traditional business models based on value chain optimization have been refined over many years. However, in order to increase business value, innovative industrial product companies are increasingly looking for new m-Business services related to their core business. With the emergence of such virtual markets (services, information, knowledge, life-style support, security) we need a new paradigm for understanding and predicting business performance. The concept "value constellation " replaces the value chain. A m-Business model is not sustainable if it lacks a sound economic value proposition to the end-user. In order to analyze and validate value creation in m- Business systems we suggest using a conceptual modeling methodology with proper value ontology. We will demonstrate how such a methodology will allow us to de-compose value offerings with the aim of identifying new stakeholders and new value constellations.

Our objective was the integration of mobile computing in our web based documentation software DocuMed.rh to improve process organisation and quality of care. We focused on self-administered standardized patient questionnaires which are implemented in DocuMed.rh. Validity of online obtained data and the capability of disabled patients to handle a Tablet PC were assigned. On a regularly scheduled visit 117 patients completed prearranged sets of self-administered questionnaires as a paper-pencil and an electronic version using a Tablet PC in a cross-over design. Patients experiences with the Tablet PC and history of computer/internet use were assessed. Positive ethics approval and signed patients consents were obtained. Though only 65% of the patients reported computer experiences no major problems with the Tablet PC occurred. Scores obtained by direct data entry on the Tablet PC did not differ significantly from the scores obtained by the paper-pencil questionnaires in the complete group and in subgroups. Application of self-administered questionnaires on the new medium Tablet PC is efficient and capable in patients with inflammatory rheumatic disease. Mobile obtained data are rapidly available and can easily be merged with clinical data, thereby contributing intensely to improved patient care.

Mobile advertising is one of the most popular applications of mobile commerce, particularly in the form of SMS advertising. However, little is known regarding the effectiveness of such campaigns and the factors contributing to their success. In this paper we aim at identifying factors that influence the effectiveness of a mobile messaging advertising campaign. We draw on established knowledge from traditional advertising, which is adjusted to the principles of the mobile medium and combined with a number of mobile channel-specific attributes. A survey amongst advertising experts (N=90) is then used to investigate the significance of each variable. Through exploratory factor analysis, we postulate four categories of mobile messaging advertising effectiveness factors (campaign strategy, source, targeting, and creative development). Each factor consists of a number of variables, which are collectively hypothesized to impact the effectiveness of a mobile messaging advertising campaign.

In the developed world, broad technological dominance and advances in infrastructure deployment have led to commoditized Internet access. In parallel to these trends, two developing countries from different parts of the world are making history by deploying 'state of the art' nationwide wireless broadband networks. These two nations, Macedonia and Mauritius, had nothing in common, but since early 2006, both of them will provide their citizens ubiquitous wireless Internet access. Since they will be the first countries in the world to deploy wireless networks at this scale, we seek to analyze the commonalities and differences between technology strategy, government policy choices, public and private institutions, informal citizen networks, and the broader socio-economic impacts of such deployments. In this paper, we describe how these two trajectories are novel, yet significantly different, with a potential for effecting unique types of change.

In this paper we propose a theoretical model to assess the effectiveness of mobile work support by investigating the fit between mobile task and mobile work support. The mobile task has been investigated along five dimensions: task difficulty, task inter dependency, time-criticality, mobility, and location dependency. The functionality of mobile support technology is categorized along five dimensions: portable processing power, mobile communication, mobile online information access, mobile job dispatch, and location-aware services. Propositions are proposed for testing the impact of the fit between mobile task and mobile support on the performance of mobile worker.

Digital marketing media, such as Internet and mobile phones, are considered to be powerful opportunities to reach consumers by allowing interactivity and personalization of the content and context of the message. This paper explores consumers' responsiveness to mobile marketing communication. We propose that consumer responsiveness is a function of the perceived relevance of the marketing message and the acceptance of the medium of receiving the message. Two empirical studies conducted in Finland showed that compared to traditional direct mail and commercial email, the responsiveness to mobile marketing was considerably lower. However, there were also consumers who welcome mobile marketing communica.tion.

The 3 GPP IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) is currently expected to provide the basic architecture framework for the next generation network which will bridge the traditional divide between circuit-switched and packet-switched networks and consolidate both sides into one single network for all services. Therefore, the imminent commercial roll-out of IMS will have immense impact on the whole way future mobile business applications are designed, developed and deployed. This paper presents a survey about the application-oriented research project CAMPARI (configuration, architecture, migration, performance analysis and requirements of 3G IMS) which aims at inves-tigating a "minimal-optimal" IMS configuration with respect to architecture and quality-of-service aspects. After a brief survey of the IMS core components, we introduce our OpenSER-based IMS prototype implementation and present the "IMS in a bottle " approach. Based on our practical experiences with this testbed system, we finally discuss important current and future challenges including migration, interworking, charging, identity management, security, and regulatory aspects.

Mobile business is conducted extensively through mobile phones, which, unlike wired e-commerce client computers, can be used anywhere and anytime, and consequently are often used in social settings such as while walking on a sidewalk, eating in a restaurant, driving a car, and waiting for an airplane. Use of mobile phones in these situations affects not only the user but also co-located people who can be bothered by ringing phones, overheard conversations, and clicking keys. The purpose of this paper is to present a research model that we are using to investigate the acceptable use of mobile phones in social situations. The model examines both voice and text use of mobile phones in various social settings, and incorporates the location and time of use. The paper also introduces an empirical research study we are conducting in which we have obtained data from over 1000 people in five countries.
