In the last couple decades, mobile phones (i.e. iPhone, Palm Pre, Android-based, etc.) and Internet enabled handheld devices in North America, Europe and Asia has made many leaps and bounds. Many universities have begun to embrace this new mobile venue by adapting their e-services to fit the handheld mobile form factor of these devices. This presentation aims to offer insight into the creativity and ingenuity that has been used at other academic institutions, and will provide simple recipes for tweaking and enhancing our new and existing e-services to make them mobile-friendly.

The WIND of change...

WIND mobile

It looks like WIND mobile is finally here. Value-wise, they actually seem to be competitive with the rest of the "contract-free" crowd (namely low-end telcos like Fido, Koodo, PC Mobile, Virgin and others). By being "actually competitive" I mean offering more than a choice of "with telco X you get feature X included, and with telco Y you get feature Y included". WIND seems to give you either a choice between X and Y that won't cost you any of your appendages... or they just throw both in.
