So how does this all work? Retailers, Shopping Malls, venues with high traffic place Bluetooth wireless transmitters in certain areas where they would like to push content. They are connected to a Bluetooth server either via cables or thru Wi-Fi. An advertisement such as a text message or a video or digital coupon is created and sent to Bluetooth transmitters. When a shopper with the Bluetooth feature turned on and comes in range of the transmitter, they get sent a request to receive ad content. If they accept the advertisement is sent to them. If they deny, then nothing gets sent. Once they receive a coupon for example, they can take it to the retailer show them the coupon and redeem it right there! The bar coding system the retailer uses can scan the bar code and provide the consumer with the savings right there. The consumer can also send the coupon to another person so they can redeem it as well. There has been a big debate about advertising in the mobile medium. Some people think that ad content should not be sent to mobile phones as it may be considered an invasion of privacy. Mobile phones are considered the most personal device used today since they send and receive calls and messages only to those who share their number. Others think that the next big thing will be mobile marketing and early indications show that this may very well be the case by the way ring tones, music and iPhone applications are being developed and downloaded.

Why implement Proximity Marketing? Well, if you’re a retailer, you want to place relevant ads into the hands of shoppers who are right outside your establishment. If you’re a shopping mall manager you want to implement proximity marketing services to attract retailers and also increase foot traffic. Once consumers know that there is a proximity marketing infrastructure set up and they can get money saving coupons to them in their hands then they will want to come back and spread the word to their friends and families. If you own and operate or manage other venues like restaurants, bars and entertainment parks, then this is provides an opportunity to send specials, one time notices, announcements to your patrons and increase traffic and revenue that particular day.

Proximity Marketing does not have to be expensive. Some companies actually provide the equipment for free and do all of the work for you. For more information on how to set up proximity marketing, go to site http://www.macromobil.com

This new tool works as a direct marketing channel to end users mobile phones. The first generation of these tools established a connection with the Bluetooth enabled phones (activated and set to visible) which are within 20 meters from a dedicated hotspot. A question appears on the screen of the phone in the form ‘Do you accept content from Alterwave ? Yes / No’, where Alterwave is the name of the company willing to advertise. If the user presses Yes, the download proceeds at a speed of typ. 50kB/sec over Bluetooth. The data transfer is 100% free. A video of 500 kB would be sent in about 10 seconds.

If the user presses No, the popup disappears from the screen, and if the users does not press either key the popup will disappear when the phone leaves the Bluetooth covered zone.

This new media raises a lot of interest in the advertising and marketing industry. The kind of files that they push is images (still or animated), sounds (mp3) and video.

The risk to see the Bluetooth marketing seen as Spam does exist, but an opt-in is also possible by requiring the user to approach his phone close to a given point (typ. 1-2 meters) for triggering the download.

The challenge is now for media and marketing agencies to use this innovative tool wisely, and certainly to send value added content to the users. The Bluetooth marketing has a lot of impact on end users, so it should be used with wisdom.

Brochures or booklets, that are currently being handed out, are now used for this task. However, as those of you that have tried exploring a big hotel will know, it is simply inconvenient to be carrying around all of these, all the time.

The opportunity is there to add a proximity marketing element, and make this information available to the guest on their most private electronic device – their mobile phone.

This way the information is made readily available wherever and whenever.

Let’s now take a look at individual ideas:

Service list
Straightforward stuff. Put all your services in an eBrochure, (or simpler an illustrated image) and send it to guests mobile phones. At any time they can then take out their phones and find what they need.

Prices
Hotels charge guests for using their facilities, and sometimes that puts them off using them because they are unaware of the costs involved. By making this information available on the mobile phone, guests can discretely retrieve this information whenever they need it.

Events
Hotels often organise events for their guests. Through proximity marketing via bluetooth it is very straightforward to send guests calendar reminders for the events they are interested, to help them remember, and eventually attend the event.

Map
One of the most obvious pieces of information that can be offered (but one that is also frequently neglected), especially in large hotels / hotel complexes, is the hotel map. If you need this point proven, all it takes is a visit to some of the wonderful village-like hotels you can find on most greek islands. And then, try not getting lost!

Room Service
A very exciting service that mobile marketing can put on the table for hotels, is room service on your mobile phone. When you want to order breakfast, simply take out your phone, have a look at the menu, and place your order using your mobile. Next thing you know the door rings. ‘Room service’…

Stock exchange updates
For business executives, or the everyday guest who owns some stocks, hotels can offer the icing on the cake type of service, by going the extra mile and retrieving for them live stock exchange information, and making it available on their mobile phones.

3rd party promotions
Hotels also offer third-party advertising by providing leaflets and brochures to their guests, for outside activities they can partake in. By offering these promotions on guests’ mobile phones, it is much more probable that they will actually have the information available at the point in time when they need it, and thus increase the conversions.

Hotels are great candidate areas for proximity marketing services, and I’m sure there’s plenty more ideas out there. These are just to get you started. Good luck!

3. What is Proximity Marketing? – by

* What is the project about?

The project is about giving interactive mobile services to as many visitors as we can. The first phase is the pilot. AIA and Cytech wanted to test the feasibility of this project as there aren’t many such project all over the world. The aim was to develop a number of simple and valuable services that would be tested by the AIA personnel. Not just IT but also marketing and administrative personnel. We wanted to have feedback so we make any necessary alterations before we go public.
The first thing was to install 7 Bluevibe Hotspots at the departure terminal. These hotspots were not able to cover all the terminal but they are in such locations that cover the cafeterias and the corridors. After the installation we made all the connections to the Bluevibe Server installed at the AIA premises.
There were a number of challenges such as, power over ethernet, remote power cycling, decoration of the hotspots to look pretty and we achieved all these with the aid of the AIA personnel in about two months. Especially the decoration issue was hard as the rules are very strict.
If you visit AIA you can see the blue plaques at the ceiling, these are antenna containers. After the installation we train the AIA personnel to use the Bluevibe Manager, our web based administration and monitoring tool. They now are able to operate it mostly by themselves.
We also developed a special application for AIA for managing their content and of course a special version of the Bluevibe Browser, the mobile application installed in the visitors’ mobile phones.

* What kind of services are you intending to provide?

The most important service during the first phase is the Flight Information. You enter the flight number and get information about the departure/arrival time, status etc. The other service is about the retail shops of the airport.
It is a mobile shopping catalog. All retail shops inside AIA can present their products and offers. The marketing department of the Airport can change dynamically the images, texts etc using a CMS. We also provide a number of information concerning the airport itself, like left-luggage” areas or safety rules.

* Do the users accept to install a Java mobile application?

We ve just ended our test phase so our users were AIA personnel. They dont have serious objection on installing a new application as lons as this application is useful and not create any problems to their mobile phone. When the number of employees started to install this application and they saw that there is no problem and that they are able to use it we overcame any hesitations.
I think that the most important thing when you ask someone to install an application is to give him a good reason why to do it. If it is something really useful and “alive” they’ll accept it and try to install it.
We confront the same hesitations during the DontDrinkandDrive campaign we currently run for Johnnie Walker. We have developed a mobile application containing all the necessary information (taxi call numbers, bus itineraries, metro time tables) so if you decide to drink to take public transportation and not your car.
Most of the people find this application useful and at the moment they undestand what it is, they are willing to install it. It is 100 times better that a piece of paper containing all this information and that you ll probably throw it away after 5 minutes.

* Since it’s not yet public, and you don’t have any numbers on use, do you have any numbers regarding how many users have their Bluetooth turned on?

You will be surprised, and so our partners at the AIA did. More than half a million different devices have been scanned during the last 10 months and only at 7 hotspots at the departures terminal. I have to add that there is currently no signage and no one knows that there is a Bluetooth system active in the area. We know that we will double or triple this number if we cover the whole terminal and inform people about it.

* What would you identify as the main problem with this project?

I think the major problem hasn’t appeared yet. I strongly believe that when we go public there will be such great demand that we ll have problem to serve them. As you understand, our goal is to serve more than 300.000 unique users in a year.
Based on this assumption and some statistics concerning the number of people per hotspot and the time a user browse the services, we make our plans for the full scale installation. But, I am afraid, the real number will be greater. We are trying to be ready for this case also. I ll keep you updated but I am sure you will be informed from your sources when we go public.

Johnnie Walker Mobile Marketing Campaign

* Could you please also describe the JW campaign to us?

The concept is simple. Don’t drink and drive. It is about responsible drinking. Johnnie Walker has great tradition in this kind of events that contain messages like this. This time they have decided to include proximity marketing to the whole scenario. GetItRight marketing services, in cooperation with Cytech have designed a campaign with the following innovation.
Instead of giving people a plain paper with information about the means of transport during late hours, they also send this information to their mobile phones.
This way, this information which includes, taxi call numbers, bus and underground time schedule, is stored at the mobile phone and can be used anytime. The paper version is OK but it is most of the times misplaced somewhere and you can’t find it the next day.
These events take place at crowded squares of Athens from 20:00 till 24:00 just before people enters the bars and pubs for a drink. Everyday we setup a kiosk where promoters call people to play an internet game and win prizes. At the same time Bluevibe is responsible for sending the mobile application to the people as they stop in front of the kiosk.

* Can you share the penetration rate there with us?

I can’t disclose our statistics as the campaign is still running but I have to say that we believe that the penetration rate will be greater than 10%. We can discuss it again when it is over, at the end of May.

* What would you identify as the main problem with this campaign?

The main problem is the infrastructure. As you understand, we are in the open and we have constantly problems with electricity and network. We are lucky to use a system like Bluevibe because it is very versatile.
We use it as we think appropriate during each event day. If we see that the network is not stable enough we operate the Hotspots in standalone mode and when the network is back again they are synchronised with the server, uploading all the statistics and downloading new campaign settings. On the other hand if the network is stable we operate them in Networked mode, having all the advantages like online monitoring and administration and live statistics.

Mr. Antoniadis’ views provide a very interesting inside view on the workings of proximity marketing campaigns. I believe those of you interested in starting out in the bluetooth marketing sector, have plenty to learn and I highly recommend you keep some of these hints in your mobile marketing notebook.

I hope you enjoyed it, and found it valuable as much as I did.. Feel free to share your views, or questions, if you have any. I’m sure Mr. Antoniadis will be more than happy to follow up.

With its stunning titanium-colored finish and chrome highlights, the sleek and slender design of the BlackBerry Curve 8900 smartphone dresses it for any occasion (see larger image). Check out the Curve 8900 101 video demo.

And, of course, you’ll enjoy all the communication and connectivity features you’ve come to expect from a Blackberry phone–including email served up by the BlackBerry Internet Service and a full menu of messaging options (SMS, MMS, and IM). The handset’s advanced multimedia capabilities include a 3.2-megapixel camera with image stabilization, digital zoom, flash and the ability to record video and play video. Other features include a hot-swappable MicroSD/SDHC memory card slot (for cards up to 16 GB; 256 MB card included), Bluetooth for handsfree communication and stereo music streaming, multi-format digital audio player, unlimited any-network calling to any 5 people with a myFaves plan, and up to 5.5 hours of talk time.

T-Mobile Service Options
With T-Mobile HotSpot Enabled service, you’ll effortlessly transition between Wi-Fi calling and T-Mobile’s wireless network while you talk. You can get unlimited nationwide calls over Wi-Fi–at home via your wireless router or at any U.S. T-Mobile HotSpot. You can also use the HotSpot Enabled service via most open, or unsecured, wireless routers, as well as any secured wireless router for which you have access to the password from the owner. This phone is compatible with the 802.11b/g Wi-Fi standard as well as the following Wi-Fi Alliance certifications: WPA/WPA2 Personal and Enterprise, WMM, WMM Power Save, Wi-Fi Protected Setup. Whenever you’re not using a Wi-Fi network, the Curve works just like a regular mobile phone, using your Whenever Minutes under your T-Mobile voice plan.

Additionally, this mobile phone operates on GSM 850/900/1800/1900 networks and can handle high-speed data connectivity via T-Mobile’s EDGE network (which stands for “Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution”). As a quad-band world phone, this phone supports international roaming, extending the ability to stay connected while traveling abroad. This high-speed, mobile data and Internet access technology is fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services (with average data speeds between 75-135Kbps), including full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go.

This phone also includes compatibility with T-Mobile’s myFaves service, which allows you to call up to five of your most common contacts–on any network, even landlines–without using any of your minutes. Learn more about myFaves from T-Mobile.

Download cool new games, HiFi Ringers (real songs by today’s hottest artists), MegaTones (instrumental versions of songs), and wallpapers quickly, as well as stay connected via the Web, instant messaging, and email.

The Curve 8900 includes Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth stereo music streaming, GPS navigation capabilities, MicroSD expansion to 16 GB, and more (see larger image).

Staying Connected
With BlackBerry’s push email technology, your email will find you without having to initiate a connection. BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, notifying you as new email arrives. In addition to the text, you can also receive and view attachments in a wide range of popular file formats, including Microsoft Office, Corel WordPerfect, and Adobe PDF.

Browse the web with the integrated, full-featured browser, which quickly and efficiently displays HTML pages as well as enables you to set up RSS feeds to stay connected to up-to-the-minute news and blog posts. And keep up with your contacts using a variety of instant message (IM) networks, including the integrated Blackberry Messenger as well as downloadable clients for Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, and Lotus Sametime.

For corporate users, the Curve delivers all the enterprise email and messaging capabilities you’ve come to expect. It’s supported on BlackBerry Internet Service, giving you access to up to 10 work or personal email accounts (including most popular ISP email accounts), as well as BlackBerry Enterprise Server, enabling advanced security and IT administration within IBM Lotus Domino, Microsoft Exchange and Novell GroupWise environments.

Phone Features
With a refined design, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 smartphone supports both your professional and personal mobile communication needs to help you enjoy a more organized, balanced life. In addition to a sleek, stylish design, the powerful new smartphone includes a large, vivid display–the highest resolution available on a BlackBerry smartphone–as well as a 512 MHz next-generation processor for fast and responsive performance.

The striking 2.4-inch, 480 x 360-pixel display (65K colors) serves up crisp images, text and maps so information is easier to read, even when you’re on the go. It also includes a light-sensing feature that automatically adjusts backlighting for indoor, outdoor and dark environments. Like other Curve models, the Curve 8900 includes a trackball navigation system located on the top of the QWERTY keypad, and it features an integrated spell checker with a customizable dictionary to help maintain accuracy.

You can snap vivid photos as well as video clips using the 3.2-megapixel camera on the back of the Curve, which also features a 2x digital zoom, auto focus, image stabilization, and a flash. Transfer pictures and videos between your smartphone and your desktop computer easily using the USB cable that comes with the smartphone, or via Bluetooth technology.

You can also capture video clips on the go, with two resolution choices–480 x 352 pixels for saving to your PC and 176 x 144 pixels for sending via MMS messaging. In addition to recording videos, the Curve 8900 also supports mobile video streaming as well as videos saved from your PC. It’s compatible with DivX, XviD (MPEG4 Advance Simple Profile), H.263, and WMV3 formats.

Listen to your favorite music using the included stereo headset, or use an optional wireless headphone thanks to the Curve’s support for the Bluetooth stereo audio profile (A2DP/AVRCP). The Curve is compatible with a wide variety of file formats (.3gp, WAV, MIDI, AMR-NB, G711u/A, GSM610, PCM, MP3, AAC/AAC+/eAAC+, WMA9/10 Standard/Pro) and dedicated volume controls are conveniently located on the side of the handset.

Handsfree communication is easy thanks to the integrated speakerphone. This phone also provides Bluetooth wireless connectivity (version 2.0 + EDR), and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and file transfer. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking–surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server.

With the Voice-Activated Dialing (VAD) feature, you can initiate a call just by telling the Curve who to call from your contact list–either via the integrated speakerphone or using an optional Bluetooth wireless headset. Other advanced phone features include advanced sound technology that cancels out background noise and echo, dedicated volume and mute keys, and the ability to customize the Curve with polyphonic and MP3 ringtones.

Capture high-resolution photos and videos with the 3.2-megapixel camera on the back.

The BlackBerry Browser on the Curve 8900 is designed to make on-the-go Internet browsing fast and fun–you can even start a search right from the home page. Navigate sites and zoom in on content using a trackball-controlled pointer, set bookmarks and view your history. Plus, the BlackBerry Browser works with a host of other applications to make things like online purchasing and tracking information on your favorite pages easier.

The easier a map is to read, the easier it is to follow. Together with BlackBerry Maps, the crisp, colorful screen of the Curve 8900 is designed to make it easier to find the location of businesses, restaurants, concert venues, parks and more by allowing you to check maps and get driving directions quickly and conveniently. When you’re connected to the network, you can even launch maps from your address book. BlackBerry Maps is also designed to help make trips easier by providing route options like fastest or shortest and displaying directions visually along with text-based turn-by-turn instructions.

Whether your instant messaging (IM) account is with Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ or Windows Live Messenger, you can bring your IM community wherever life takes you. Like the desktop versions, these programs offer features like avatars and emoticons. And, because BlackBerry applications work together, you can also start an IM chat from your address book, call or email an IM contact while chatting or even check your calendar right from a chat.

Other features include:

• Easily synch with Microsoft Outlook: Stay in synch with your Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks in Microsoft Outlook
• Edit Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files: Just download attachments and start typing. You’ll enjoy many of the same features you do on your computer–copy and paste, font size and color, even bullets and numbering and more.
• Remote Search: If you prefer not to carry all your email on your Curve 8900 smartphone, Remote Search can be used to find emails that are still stored on your BlackBerry Enterprise Server using name, subject and other options to narrow the field.
• BlackBerry Media Sync: Sync your desktop iTunes music files with your BlackBerry smartphone.
• Free/Busy Lookup: View your colleagues’ calendars to see who’s available at what time right from your BlackBerry smartphone.
• RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds support: With RSS, you don’t need to check important websites for updates, new content can be pushed to you automatically.
• Send and receive text and picture messages (SMS and MMS)
• Bluetooth version 2.0 + EDR with the following profiles: A2DP (stereo music streaming), AVRC (remote control), HFP (hands-free car kits), HSP (communication headsets), DUN (dial-up networking), FTP (file transfer), PBA (transfer contacts)

Vital Statistics
The Blackberry Curve 8900 weighs 3.9 ounces and measures 2.4 x 4.3 x 0.5 inches. Its 1400 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 5.5 hours of talk time, and up to 360 hours (15 days) of standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 MHz GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies.

1. Mini Size Bluetooth for MOBILE PHONE Headset-new

As the sole authorized U.S. partner of Hypertag, a UK-based Bluetooth proximity marketing company, Parachute has brought Bluetooth marketing to consumers at the Chicago Bears Fan Festival (March 31-April 1) Bluesfest (June 7-10), Summerfest (June 29-July 8 in Milwaukee, WI) and the Taste of Chicago (June 29-July 8). Hypertag has also been in operation at Busch Stadium in St. Louis for the entire Cardinal’s season.

One of the nation’s largest cellular carriers used Hypertag’s technology and its industry-exclusive Bluetooth wearable marketing tool to conduct an “instant-win” campaign through user’s mobile phones at the Taste. Promotional staff wore the eye-catching and lightweight Hypertag devices and intermixed with the crowd, sending out electronic coupons. Winning coupons were sent out based on the numbers of hats and shirts to give away, but the “losing” coupon gave users a second chance to win an item from their booth. Hypertag’s industry-leading “fingerprinting” technology ensures that each cell phone only has one chance to win by recognizing the unique Bluetooth address of each phone and is set to only give out the number of coupons specified by the client.

“It’s been a great summer for Bluetooth marketing in the U.S. and for Hypertag,” Parachute Marketing Group President Brett Cutler said. “The consumer’s willingness to view content on their most cherished device opens up huge new opportunities for advertisers in an increasingly difficult environment. Hypertag’s incredible ease of use and innovative tools make it the perfect tool for companies seeking a cutting edge solution that can track the consumer from first interaction through purchase.”

“We are very encouraged by these numbers and will continue towards our goal of making Hypertag the #1 choice for proximity marketing campaigns in the U.S.,” Cutler said. “As consumers and advertisers turn away from their televisions, print and radio and towards alternative media, the market for mobile phone-enabled advertising and marketing will only increase. We are here to supply the technology and provide the support and knowledge to help mold the campaigns to take advantage of the ever-expanding reach of the mobile phone.”

ABOUT HYPERTAG

Hypertag (www.hypertag.com) is a proximity marketing technology provider which allows brands to deliver rich, interactive content to consumers based on their proximity to a fixed physical location. This ensures that brands can reach their target audience at a time and place that puts their offer into a direct and relevant context when a consumer is most receptive.

A marketing campaign is successful only when it is able to reach a large number of people. Marketing methods are meant to attract target consumers and inform them about your products and services. Traditional marketing techniques are not only difficult to elaborate but also very expensive. Just think about the costs of a TV advertisement or promotional banners. And you won’t even have the certainty that the message has been received by your targeted audience. Proximity marketing software is an easy way to make sure your potential clients have received your message. At proxiblaster.com you can purchase Bluetooth broadcasting software that’s easy to install and use.

So how does proximity marketing software actually work? The purpose of any Bluetooth broadcasting software is to deliver media files to the potential customers’ mobile devices. The software automatically sends out media files to all of the Bluetooth enabled devices within a range of approximately 10 meters. Receivers will be asked for permission to view the media on their mobile phone screen. If the potential customer accepts, the Bluetooth media file transfer will begin. The transfer is absolutely free – customers won’t have to pay anything to view it and the advertiser won’t pay any additional fees after purchasing the proximity marketing software. If the user refuses to view the advertisement, the message will disappear from the mobile phone’s screen.

Proximity marketing can turn out to be more efficient than you’ve imagined. Users that receive the media are generally pretty interested to know what it’s about. Therefore, your message will reach more than 90% of your targeted audience. That’s a lot more than you can account for other marketing methods. Furthermore, the costs for this type of advertising are incredibly low. At proxiblaster.com you’ll only have to purchase the Bluetooth broadcasting software and will never have to pay for any additional fees.

Making your business a success is all about intelligent marketing. You don’t necessarily have to spend a lot of money in order to broadcast your message to a large number of people. By using proximity marketing software you will be able to send a media file containing your advertisement to any number of people within a 10 meter range. Proxiblaster.com is where you’ll find Bluetooth broadcasting software at a very convenient price.

“We’re very excited about this whole mobile healthcare division, and we’ve partnered with content providers and complementary platform providers to create this mobile command center platform,” said Alan Stern, CMO of Gold Mobile, Clark, NJ. “We’re trying to create solutions that can be implemented in multiple locations, from doctors’ offices and hospitals to call centers and medical labs.

“This platform provides a rapid notification alert system with lots of capabilities for patients and their families, physicians and local authorities such as appointment confirmations and SMS reminders 24 hours before so you don’t have to have a nurse make these phone calls,” he said. “This allows them to send and receive text messages from a Web-based console to a cell phone and handle multiple calls simultaneously.

“We created categories that can be customized based on whatever the hospital’s needs are.”

…

“We’re in the process of demonstrating this to a dozen-plus hospitals, and some are about to adopt it, while others are in the early stages.”

…

There are currently over 23 million diabetics in the U.S., about 8 percent of the total population, with approximately 2 million new diabetics diagnosed each year.

…

Medication compliance, proper nutrition and exercise are major factors in diabetes management, and mPro Care sends custom-tailored medication reminders, motivational and behavioral trigger messages and condition-reading requests to patients’ mobile phones via SMS.

It will be great when we see this applied in hospitals, as I truly think such services can improve the quality of life of people with such diseases. I hope we will soon see more such services surfacing, because they are excellent examples of how the mobile technology can be put to good use and help us protect our lives and health.

3. What is Proximity Marketing? – by

Cytech Ltd, started off as a technology provider for the mobile marketing field back in 2001, by building mainly sms marketing tools for bulk sms, and interactive sms services. Based on that very positive experience and success – mainly in the greek market – we decided to invest in bluetooth marketing by purchasing a share in a bright startup company then called Bluebird. Bluebird later evolved into Bluevibe, the company that develops the synonymous proximity marketing product for us.

I am quite pleased to say we identified the potential in the mobile marketing field very early on, and we are very happy with our choice! (laughs) At the time we invested in Bluevibe, it was the only proximity marketing platform built in Greece, and one of the very few worldwide. Since then, we have concentrated on constantly pushing our product one step ahead of the competition, in order to be able to cope with marketing giants from around the world developing their own solution. Today our system is the only system in the world that can offer free web access via Bluetooth wherever a Bluevibe Hotspot is covering the area.

* In your experience, do you think people are still afraid of using Bluetooth? – Is that any different in Greece than abroad?

I am not sure if the word “afraid” is the right one but it is definitely right that most of the people are circumspect about accepting files over Bluetooth. The main reason is that they have heard that viruses can infect their mobile phones and they are coming from Bluetooth. This is something common all over the world. From my point of view there is only one solution and this is trust. When a well known brand runs a mobile marketing campaign and makes it visible to the people, they tend to trust it. According to our experience if the brand informs people about the proximity marketing event the penetration rate doubles. So there are hesitations about accepting mobile content over bluetooth but there is always a way to overcome them.

* You’ve run a couple of very interesting campaigns lately in Greece.. Do you see the market opening up?

Indeed, we have run a number of different campaigns, in expositions like Thessaloniki International Expo (Helexpo) or Taxi Show and DTE-Comdex, in events like the Dont Drink and Drive campaign we are currently running, and of course at the Athens International Airport. We are in the proximity marketing field for about 4 years and we know that you have to be patient. We see that marketing agencies adopt this medium day by day and that in the next years will be part of their tool set. In the beginning we had great difficulties to make marketers understand the role of this new medium at the whole marketing landscape. Now we receive daily phone calls and emails all over the world asking about Bluevibe. They know the basic features and want to know more about centralized management, web access over Bluetooth etc.

* What is your favourite mobile marketing campaign / proximity marketing campaign, from any that you might have seen?

I have read a great number of campaigns all over the world and many of them were very successful. But I have to say I am biased. My favourite campaign is the one we are currently run with Johnnie Walker. I like it because it is in combination with other marketing activities, field promotion, internet marketing and because the mobile application we send is very useful. It is not easy to run such a campaign as the events take place at squares where there is no electricity or network coverage and sometimes you have to overcome issues like bad weather etc. I will come back if you want with numbers when this campaign is over.

* How do you see proximity marketing in the economic crisis?

I think that proximity marketing and mobile marketing in general will benefit from this crisis. No one can say for sure, but my thinking is that these types of marketing media are relatively cheaper that the legacy ones like press or radio. Marketeers are trying to find new media to use, cheaper that the ones already have because the marketing budgets are lowering. We ll see about that in the next months but I have to say that the demand for Bluevibe is greater than one year ago.

* Do your customers prefer opt-in campaigns, or opt-out?

As you understand opt-out campaigns are easier. There is no need for acceptance and there is no need for special mechanisms to manage the opt-in lists. So, in the beginning, customers try this type of campaigns. They soon understand that even if the numbers are good they tend to lower as people get used to proximity marketing. During the first campaigns we run, people accepted to receive mobile content, most of time because of curiosity. They didn’t know what exactly this bluetooth message is and they wanted to see. Now most of the people and mainly young ones, are accustomed to the whole procedure and they want to receive only valuable information. They dont want to be disturbed and as proximity marketing events are more frequent, they want to know what they will receive before the click on OK button. I am sure that opt-in is the magical word for the next year and we, as technology providers, are obliged to provide the appropriate technology to support it.

* How do you avoid being thought of as SPAM?

This is one of the first things we tell our customers. It is crucial to inform people about the proximity marketing event so they are not annoyed. In addition, Bluevibe platform has a number of features to ensure that the person who says no will not be receive anything in the future. But I think the final and more antispam policy is the Bluevibe mobile application. One of the most advanced components of the platform is the interactivity. Bluevibe mobile application is installed at the user’s phone and it is s/he that begins the interaction with the system. There is no need to send him/her nothing and on the other hand s/he has access to rich content like multimedia, internet websites, facebook, wikipedia etc. Finally, in order to void being thought of as a spammer you have to:

o inform people,
o give them the right to opt-out easily
o and, if the application permits it, provide interactive services.

In comparison with other modes of marketing and advertising, the SMS delivery solutions have instant reach. In this entire process of SMS service, one could also use SMS gateways to generate the maximum promotion with the minimum possible costs. The SMS gateway is used for sending and receiving SMS messages without using a mobile phone.

To conclude, the SMS marketing is one of the inexpensive ways of promoting goods and services across a wide range of customer-base. Therefore it is necessary that message should be short and crisp – otherwise it would loose the purpose.

For marketers seeking new ways and means to expand their reach anywhere their prospects are — the future is here. Smart marketers and advertisers create a personal touch in their ad campaigns. This is one of the reasons why mobile advertising is rapidly increasing in popularity as an effective marketing tool. And the astonishing use of mobile devices leveraged this trend.

There are over 1.5 billion mobile phone users worldwide according to the International Telecommunications Union with the highest growth percentage coming from emerging economies like China, Russia and India. The US has about 200 million mobile subscribers. Smart marketers are tapping into the potential to reach their prospects as they’re on the move. Mobile devices are practically a permanent attachment for people under age 34.

Mobile Advertising is delivered in a number of formats. Text messaging, mobile internet advertising and mobile radio advertising are some of the common advertising formats. Out of these, text messaging (SMS) is the most widely used format.

According to the joint Mobile Advertising Report (MAR) released by Limbo and GfK Technology, text message usage is about 74% in India, 48% in the UK and 22% in the US. Projections predict in the near future mobile internet advertising will surpass text message advertising (FierceWireless).

In June 2008, Nokia launched the Nokia Advertising Alliance that aims to make mobile advertising easier for advertisers. This particular program includes services like providing marketing strategies, geographic targeting and related technologies to enhance customer captivation. Now advertisers can work in conjunction with Nokia to expand the coverage of mobile advertising with emerging mobile technologies for more powerful ad promotions.

The best part about mobile marketing is mobile devices are more heavily used than traditional PCs. Mobile advertisements are delivered to the customer no matter where they are. Even with these advantages, mobile advertising is still in its “early adopter” stages with a long way to go. The main obstacles are in the form of data tariff structures, handset and mobile internet interactivity and quality of subject matter.

Like the early days of the Internet, there are more advertisers than quality content. Add to that an acute lack of tools to assess the performance of mobile ad campaigns. Even though most of these difficulties will be solved in the future, mobile advertising will still face competition from other advertising and marketing methods. Google, Microsoft and Nokia are the prominent players in mobile advertising. The future holds a huge potential in terms of revenues from mobile advertising.

According to a report released by Informa Telecoms & Media, it is estimated that mobile advertising will generate USD 1.72 billion in 2008 and will rise to USD 12 billion in 2013. The report also advocates the use of banner ads as an effective tool in mobile advertising. The report highlights the significance of focusing on the long run and not the short term stumbling blocks.

Yahoo jumped on the bandwagon in June 2008 when it partnered with Publicis to integrate Publicis mobile advertising agency (PhoneValley) with Yahoo’s mobile developer platform language (Blueprint). The partnership is aimed at developing brands, reaching customers and maximizing sales through new techniques. It also aims to initiate cutting edge advertising strategies in the future.

Since the potential market for mobile advertising is huge, a few companies are exploring new horizons and expanding in new territory. For example, Millenial Media Inc., is venturing into Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Millenial develops ads for cell-phones and mobiles. Its CEO Paul Palmieri says “There is a tremendous growth opportunity for mobile advertising on a global basis, as evidenced by a rich and active mobile direct marketing industry, as well as surging demand from top brand advertisers.”

The media industry and brand advertisers are slowly catching on and making use of mobile advertising to increase market penetration. Mobile advertising has added support from applications like ringtones and pictures. Bluetooth advertising is also growing in popularity. Here, a company can advertise its products or services over a fixed area.

The three major search engines: Yahoo, Google and Microsoft have already realized the potential and the possibilities of the mobile advertising market. MSN uses banner ads on MSN mobile pages. Earlier MSN’s mobile advertising was confined to countries like France, Japan, Spain and UK. Recently it expanded coverage to include the US. Google also launched mobile image ads. When the cell phone browser is opened these image ads are displayed on the screen. However, the ad size is much smaller as compared to those for web pages. These image ads are connected to a web page and they follow the price-per-click model Google AdWords uses.

Mobile Advertising is one of best forms of mass medium advertising. It’s personal, and has a wider reach than any other form of advertising. It’s still early to comment on exactly how big or how successful it will prove to be. However, by all indicators “the future’s so bright you gotta wear shades.”

The predictions about the future revenues generated through mobile advertising optimistic. A brand advertiser, a mobile advertising company and the consumer will have different perceptions of mobile advertising. However, mobile advertising also comes with its fair share of drawbacks. Mobile ads are sometimes viewed as another form of spam and the advertisers as spammers. To resolve this issue, there are programs developed to give subscribers free talk-time for performing certain activities related to viewing ads. As far as the opinions of consumers are concerned, it’s a mixed bag. This is because people are simply not accustomed to being paid to view ads. Even if they are paid to view them, many still view the ads as a nuisance. It doesn’t make sense for the advertiser to pay a consumer to view ads if there are no conversions.

A new trend appears in the mobile marketing since the beginning of 2006 : The Bluetooth marketing, or proximity marketing.

This new tool works as a direct marketing channel to end users mobile phones. The first generation of these tools established a connection with the Bluetooth enabled phones (activated and set to visible) which are within 20 meters from a dedicated hotspot. A question appears on the screen of the phone in the form ‘Do you accept content from Alterwave ? Yes / No’, where Alterwave is the name of the company willing to advertise. If the user presses Yes, the download proceeds at a speed of typ. 50kB/sec over Bluetooth. The data transfer is 100% free. A video of 500 kB would be sent in about 10 seconds.

If the user presses No, the popup disappears from the screen, and if the users does not press either key the popup will disappear when the phone leaves the Bluetooth covered zone.

This new media raises a lot of interest in the advertising and marketing industry. The kind of files that they push is images (still or animated), sounds (mp3) and video.

The risk to see the Bluetooth marketing seen as Spam does exist, but an opt-in is also possible by requiring the user to approach his phone close to a given point (typ. 1-2 meters) for triggering the download.

The challenge is now for media and marketing agencies to use this innovative tool wisely, and certainly to send value added content to the users. The Bluetooth marketing has a lot of impact on end users, so it should be used with wisdom.

Alterwave is one of the leading companies in this market.

There comes the bluetooth features which is again another very important feature being added in any mobile sets.

According to the technology experts, the definition of bluetooth is “Bluetooth is the name for a short-range radio frequency (RF) technology that operates at 2.4 GHz and is capable of transmitting voice and data. The effective range of Bluetooth devices is 32 feet (10 meters). Bluetooth transfers data at the rate of 1 Mbps, which is from three to eight times the average speed of parallel and serial ports, respectively.”

It is not that each and every user knows the working of Bluetooth; according to the mobileinfo.com “Bluetooth can be used to wirelessly synchronize and transfer data among devices. Bluetooth can be thought of as a cable replacement technology. Typical uses include automatically synchronizing contact and calendar information among desktop, notebook and palmtop computers without connecting cables. Bluetooth can also be used to access a network or the Internet with a notebook computer by connecting wirelessly to a cellular phone.”

A lot of people today wonder about whether Bluetooth Marketing, and proximity marketing in general is legal, as people claim it can be considered as SPAM and annoying.

On the one hand, we must first see whether these marketing approaches are legal. Obviously, if they are not, there is no point discussing it any further, we can simply dismiss the discussion and file a law suit against anyone running such campaigns. The legal framework is different in every country around the world, and in some cases dramatically (take for example the death penalty). However, the European Union, now has some common guidelines across all its member countries, and so do the United States, for each state. Therefore, each country might have its own laws and I would be interested if any of you out there live in a country that has any specific laws about proximity or text marketing, I would be very interested to find out. Please leave a comment by clicking the yellow post-it note.

I am only aware of E.U. regulations by the European Commission, and I also came across this article, by Victoria Southern, a solicitor with Pinsent Masons, discussing the legal framework regarding SMS and Proximity marketing, in the U.K. She concluded that proximity and text marketing are both legal, as long as specific guidelines are adhered to, such as the ability to opt-out for the consumer in SMS marketing, and obtaining the consumer consent before sending them any content.

Even with the legality of the approach established, however, we all know (too well sometimes) that some marketing approaches, though legal, can be extremely annoying. In the case of proximity marketing especially, where the consumer is required to opt-in, we must take special care to ensure they have good reason too, otherwise the campaign is destined to fail miserably. I have written a separate article with some advice and tips on running a successful proximity marketing campaign, but the most important thing is not to pass your service on as spam. Proximity marketing is not just about broadcasting an image on to the passers-by mobile phones. It has a lot to do about the content of the message (be it video, image, audio, etc.) and the value the recipient of your message gets from receiving your message. For example, just sending out your logo via Bluetooth to anyone passing by your shop, might seem like a good way to increase awareness and brand recognition, but things are not always like that.

The first time an end user experiences proximity marketing and receives your message there’s a sense of novelty, and interest about the new way in which the message is received, but the user quickly gets accustomed to this, and sees the message for what it really is. When proximity marketing has become more common though, (which, incidentally, is not too far into the future) messages such as these will be considered spam. What you need is to provide some true value-added services to your customers. Give them some reason to want to use your proximity marketing service.

Among the available online resources is also the Mobile Marketing Association website, which contains a code of conduct for mobile marketers, and also provides a number of other resources such as mobile advertising guidelines, etc. These can be useful tools if you are looking to run a successful campaign, and want to avoid common pitfalls, and it’s a good place to start.

In general, I would say the legal issues are easily overcome. What is more difficult, and also of more value and to the point, is picking the right one out of all the proximity marketing services you can offer to your audience, and run a campaign which benefits everyone: the marketer, the end-user, and the service provider. Happy mobile marketing!

Did you know that California will the 5th state (if you include District of Columbia) to pass the cell phone law? This will present a problem for most of us in California since we depend on it so much. The law was passed Fall of 2006 and will go into effect July 1, 2008. What exactly does the legislation entail? It prohibits the use of any hand-held mobile phones while driving. Drivers who are caught chatting away on their cellular phones will be fined $20 for the first offense and will receive $50 fines for any ensuing offense.

So what’s the solution? Well, the law does give room for mobile phone chatters to use hands free kits when talking on the phone. However, older cell phones tend to lack Bluetooth technology and thus rely primarily on wired handsfree kits that come standard with the purchase of most phones.

Bluetooth Earpiece

This is probably the cheapest solution for most people. The earpiece is a simple headset that is usually placed over one ear, consisting of both the microphone and the earphone. It allows you to use it in and out of the vehicle, so you are free to go wherever you please while speaking wirelessly on the phone. Depending on its features and quality, you could find Bluetooth headsets for as cheap as $40 and as expensive as $200. The great thing about is its role as a standalone accessory. All you have to do is connect it (AKA “pair) with your Bluetooth capable mobile phone.

This hands-free device has a few disadvantages. These units contain small power cells that would need to be charged after about 6 to 8 hours of talk time. Additionally, some users complain that earpieces tend to be more uncomfortable over a long period of time. Some earpieces even give off a sort of echoing effect and could be hyper-sensitive to noise in certain road conditions. Of course, this complains may vary per brand and model-so be sure to try each one of them out, especially because there are a ton of companies now that make these.

Plug-N-Play Hands-Free Bluetooth Car Kit

These kits simply attaches to either the top of your dashboard, an air conditioning vent, or sometimes even your windshield. The plug’n'play Bluetooth kit is a device the size of your palm and usually gets power from your cigarette lighter. The palm-size kit contains both the microphone and a tiny loudspeaker. With this you don’t have to attach anything to your ear and is often loud enough to hear, even through traffic noise.

The price range on these stay pretty consistent since there are not as many variations of this type of Bluetooth interface. As of early 2008, they cost anywhere from $55-$125. The disadvantage of plug and play kits, however, is its volume. Though they may be loud, there is no sense of privacy if you have other passengers in the vehicle. Another thing to keep in mind is the quality of the speakerphone built in the mounted kit. Some speakerphones tend to blare rather than sounding clear. This occurs when you overload a small speakerphone with a ton of volume, and this is quite common with this type of devices.

Some companies who sell plug-n-play Bluetooth car kits include Parrot, Clarion, and Raytel.

In-Dash Receiver with Bluetooth

Because of advancements in Bluetooth technology, car audio companies began integrating Bluetooth technology in standard head units. This allows Bluetooth cell phones to be paired with the Bluetooth ready headunit. A phone call would mute whatever music or radio is playing and would channel the call through your vehicle’s sound system, resulting in the clearest sound from your phone. Depending on the kit, the microphone could be built in the headunit or wired (with hidden install of course) to the sunvisor. But just like the plug-n-play units, it offers no privacy since it could be heard by anyone in the vehicle.

This is probably the best solution for you if you are looking for a clean install without messy wires and if you feel uncomfortable putting something on your ear. It would also offer the best solution for you if you are looking for the best sound quality for a Bluetooth unit. If you want a built-in Bluetooth headunit, it will cost $200 or more. If you have an aftermarket stereo that is Bluetooth ready, you may just get the Bluetooth kit for that receiver. It is pricey though, costing you about $150 for just the Bluetooth interface.

If you’re one of those who drives a BMW 3 or 5 series or X5 built between 2002 and 2006 and are seeking a way to bring your car’s sound system up to date, consider a BMW Bluetooth retrofit for your automobile’s sound system.

What Is Bluetooth?

You’ve probably heard of Bluetooth, but may not know exactly what it is, how it works or why you should equip your older vehicle with a BMW Bluetooth retrofit.

Bluetooth technology (named after a rather despotic Scandinavian king of the late Viking Age) is really a type of electronic protocol – an industry standard that allows different electronic devices such as personal computers, printers, cel phones, and a wide range of digital devices to connect to each other and exchange information without the need for cumbersome cables and wires. It operates in a manner that is similar to a short-range radio frequency.

Uses and Capabilities

Bluetooth is highly effective for small devices that are in close proximity (up to 100 meters apart, depending on whether the device is Class I, II or III). Because of this, a BMW Bluetooth retrofit is ideal for the small, enclosed environment of an automobile interior.

If you’re like many busy people, you have a mobile phone with you and activated most of the time – including drive time. However, use of a cel phone while driving is unsafe, and actually illegal in many places. By installing a BMW Bluetooth retrofit in your classic vehicle, you’ll enjoy “hands-free” communication when receiving an important call while behind the wheel. You won’t even have to remove your cel phone from your pocket!

Taking It To The Next Level

A BMW Bluetooth retrofit allows you to integrate your cel phone into your vehicle quickly and easily. One of the most useful aspects of this is the ability to activate your cel phone and dial a number using voice commands. If your phone is equipped with this capability, you can simply speak the number you wish to dial, and your BMW Bluetooth retrofit allows it to dial it for you – automatically!

In addition, newer phones and navigation systems can display information right on your vehicle’s own digital displays (i.e., the instrument cluster).

No More Missed Calls

You probably enjoy playing your radio or CDs while commuting. You’ll be glad to know that the BMW Bluetooth retrofit automatically mutes the music or other audio programming when receiving or making a call.

Get Started Now

The BMW Bluetooth retrofit is designed for simple installation using the original manufacturer wiring. It really is as simple as “plug and play,” and afterwards, you’ll be able to control all of your cell phone’s functions using nothing more than the steering wheel controls, radio knobs and of course, your own voice. It’s easy and economical to update your vehicle with a BMW Bluetooth retrofit.

If you’ve got a wireless network for your computers already, well, you might get a bit excited about what I’m going to say next. How would you feel if your PDA, your mobile phone, your mp3 player and almost everything else you connect to your computer could be wireless too? You’d like that? Well, it’s already a reality and has been for some time now.

Bluetooth is wireless and automatic, and has a number of interesting features that can simplify our daily lives. Bluetooth is a standard developed by a group of electronics manufacturers that allows any sort of electronic equipment — from computers and cell phones to keyboards and headphones — to make its own connections, without wires, cables or any direct action from a user. Read on…

Personal Area Network.

Using wireless networking with your personal gadgets is often called PAN, which stands for Personal Area Network. The idea is that, in the future, we’ll all have laptop computers with their batteries charged and no more need to connect any wires to them at all — you just place your Bluetooth device near the computer, and the computer sees it and can use it straightaway.

Bluetooth has been around and in-use since 1999, and it’s only getting more popular. It was designed to be secure, low cost, and easy to use from day one.

There are two classes of Bluetooth that are in popular use: class 1 and class 2. Class 2 is the most common and cheaper standard, allowing you to use a device that is up to 10 metres (32 feet) away. Class 1 is rarer, but you can still find devices that use it easily enough, and it has ten times the range: 100 metres or 320 feet.

How Does It Work?

Bluetooth is more flexible than 802.11 wireless networking, in exchange for the shorter range. Essentially, a Bluetooth-enabled computer has one Bluetooth receiver installed in it, and this receiver can then be used with up to 7 nearby Bluetooth devices. On the other end, wireless devices do not need to have Bluetooth installed if they support it — it is already integrated.

Like 802.11, Bluetooth works by using radio signals to create bandwidth. It is not, though, the same thing as an old-style wireless mouse or keyboard, which required a receiver to be plugged into one of your computers’ ports, and didn’t have range or stability anywhere near that of Bluetooth.

Many computers now come with built in Bluetooth, especially Apple Macs. If you want to add Bluetooth to a computer that doesn’t come with it pre-installed, you should probably use a USB to Bluetooth adapter, although internal Bluetooth devices to install in your computer are available. If you have a laptop and a spare PCMCIA slot, you can get Bluetooth cards for that too.

What Can You Do With Bluetooth?

Mobile phones with Bluetooth are very popular, and so are PDAs — the instant synchronisation of addresses and calendars to a computer is a useful feature. Other than that, almost anything that would usually use USB can be done using Bluetooth, including digital cameras, mp3 players, printers, and even mice and keyboards. If you take a look through the comprehensive list of Bluetooth ‘profiles’ (kinds of devices that could, in theory, be Bluetooth enabled), it includes cordless phones, faxes, headsets, and even video.

Basically, more than anything, Bluetooth is a replacement for USB: some say that while 802.11 wireless networking is wireless Ethernet, Bluetooth is wireless USB.

Not Just for Computers.

Part of the power of Bluetooth is that it isn’t just used to connect things to computers — it can be used to connect almost anything to anything else, if both things are Bluetooth-enabled and recognise each other.

Mobile phones, in particular, take advantage of this. Hands-free headsets often use Bluetooth to communicate with the phone. Some cars, for example, now have on-board computers that will connect with a Bluetooth phone and allow you to make hands-free calls, regardless of where the phone is in the car (even if you’ve left it in your bag in the trunk!)

On top of that, of course, Bluetooth devices can communicate with each other. This has led to some people sending messages from their Bluetooth PDAs to others in close range — not an especially useful feature, but quite fun. This is called ‘bluejacking’, and the first recorded instance of it was a man who sent a Bluetooth message to another man’s Nokia phone while they were in a bank together. What did the message say? ‘Buy Ericsson’.

Since then, it has become possible to send images by bluejacking, and it is widely believed to be the newest advertising medium — yes, it lets billboards send messages to your phone, a practice known as ‘bluecasting’. Whether you think that’s cool or annoying, of course, is your choice.

Here in the UK we’ve had laws dictating that you are not allowed to use your mobile phone whilst driving for a few years now, by and large most of us abide by this law and either use a Bluetooth car kit or simply don’t answer the call!

Over in the United State of America they have recently passed a similar law preventing people from using a mobile phone whilst driving too. Obviously much like over here in the UK there have been plenty of instances where police have had to pull over people flaunting this law, and they’ve received a ticket and probably a fine too. But there is one particular company that seems to suggest that getting one of these tickets isn’t necessarily totally a bad thing.

As a way to encourage drivers to be safe when driving many Bluetooth headset manufacturers will offer a discount if you get a ticket for operating a cell phone whilst driving. This strange approach has seen many Americans suddenly going out and buying headsets and driving more safely.

One such company, Aliph now has a specific page on their website where if you enter your ticket number and the state in which you received your ticket then you can look forward to a $20 discount. This discount is a welcome bonus for the company who makes fashionable minimalist headsets.

Bluetooth headsets are fairly common here in the UK with many business types and drivers seen seemingly talking to no one but in fact talking on their mobile phones via a Bluetooth headset. It looks as if Bluetooth headsets may now become one of the latest fashion accessories over in the USA. This can only mean good things for road safety which has already seen the number of minor collisions fall since the law was introduced.

Bluetooth headsets don’t even have to be expensive extras with some contracts and pay as you go sellers are offering mobile phone deals including a free Bluetooth headset to entice new customers to sign up. Aside from expensive built in Bluetooth kits in your car, having a Bluetooth headset is probably going to be the cheapest solution to communicating on the move. Many headsets offer incredible noise cancellation meaning that the person on the other end will only hear you, not the car radio or the engine roaring.

If you’re looking for cheap mobile phones then check out some of the new mobile phone deals for both contract and PAYG mobile phones.

To enable most of the features on your phone you need to connect it to your computer. Most phones now come with all the necessary accessories to connect your phone and computer. Most mobile phones today have a feature called Bluetooth. This feature enables you to wirelessly connect your phone to your computer. Therefore you don’t need any wires to connect. Another way to connect the phone is through a data cable which usually plugs into your phone and the computer’s USB port. This cable sometimes also recharges your phone while plugged in.

To properly connect the phone you also require the appropriate software. Most phone companies such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and Samsung have the appropriate software on their website. You simply need to download the software and connect your phone via the data cable or the Bluetooth adaptor.

The software allows you to transfer files from your mobile phone to your computer. This includes transferring ring tones, MP3s, videos and pictures. By transferring the MP3s you can listen to music and set your own ring tone to distinguish your phone from everyone else’s mobile. You can set the pictures as wall papers and some of these phones allow you to even watch movies on them. You can also transfer the pictures you took with your phone onto your computer. The software also allow you to update your phone book and save it to prevent you from losing your contacts if your phone happens to delete them.

The mobile phone market is witness to a rapid succession of innovations and Bluetooth mobile phones are one such innovation. In today’s age when people are always on the move, they desire connectivity at the minimum price. Keeping this need in mind, the phone manufacturers have come up with these phones.

These mobile phones use the Bluetooth technology. This wireless technology is used to link up and share data with other compatible devices such as personal computers, notebooks and printers. The devices available are 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 2.0 + versions. The different versions differ in the speed of data transmission and the distance that they can cover which ranges between 10 to 100 meters. The data is transmitted using radio waves. The radio waves are usually in the 2.4 Gigahertz frequency bandwidth.

To transfer a file from a phone to a compatible device or vice-versa, one has to first select the file to be transmitted. Then one has to submit it by “send to” the chosen compatible device by pairing the two devices. Once the connection between the two is established, the file will be transmitted. It can be received by accepting the incoming file.

Bluetooth mobile phones work on 2G and 3G networks, thus allowing the users to take advantage of the unique services on these networks. Most of these phones use the GSM technology. This technology is usually found in high-end phones that would also have features like a camera, a music player, FM radio and so on. Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson and Motorola are some of the phone companies that have already launched Bluetooth-enabled phones.

Bluetooth technology was developed as a way of allowing two pieces of hardware to communicate with each other without needing wires or cables. How is this being applied to motorcycles? We take a look.

When we think about wireless communications, bluetooth is at the very forefront of technological change. The system allows two devices to communicate with each other over relatively small distances of typically a few metres.

Making use of such technology on motorbikes doesn’t necessarily seem a very obvious application. At least, not at first sight.

As we delve deeper, it soon becomes clear that bluetooth certainly does have a part to play in helping to make a motorcycle rider’s life that bit easier.

This role centres on a specific problem that motorbike riders have – the problem of communicating.

If you’ve ever been on a motorbike, then you’ll undoubtedly know that it’s a noisy place to be. The engine, the speed and the weather conditions all combine to create a loud roar.

With so much noise, it’s pretty much impossible to have a conversation with anyone else on the bike. This is where bluetooth technology leaps to the rescue.

Bluetooth headsets can be used to allow two people to communicate easily. They can block out most of the road noise and adjust the microphone volume automatically to make it easier to talk.

Since this is only required over a short distance, they are ideal for the job.

When used in combination with a bluetooth ready mobile phone, they really come into their own. Now it’s possible to have a hands free mobile phone conversation from the back of the bike.

You may not have noticed this transformation, but bikers are seeing major changes as a result of technological changes.

Next time you see them out on the road, maybe you’ll spot the use of these headsets.

With the number of mobile phones capable with Bluetooth technology rising the only group who are complaining are the people related to the music industry. Already finding it difficult to counter the threat of illegal music download from the internet and fake CDs, the analysts at music industry have another issue to resolve. As usual it looks beyond them!

The only reason for this is the fact that most people are just not aware that sharing music, pictures or any copyrighted content through Bluetooth devices installed in their mobile phones is illegal. This is part of the much larger issue of public awareness, but the fact remains that even those who are do it time and again despite the realization that they are breaking a law. Needless to say, it’s a sad state of affairs.

But when a UK survey says that of the million under 10 children, all of them a proud mobile phone owner, none has a problem in sharing music through their Blue tooth mobile phones, well there is a serious problem at hand! The latest models introduced in the UK are armed with capabilities that allow sharing of digital music files.

Now with children under-10 forming a huge chunk of the group who are involved in this ‘racket’ the music industry is hapless! The children are actually not ‘aware’ of the illegality of their actions and even if they are there is no way to prove it, halting it is in the realm of improbability.

With the tough competition that is there in the mobile industry, all the mobile phone retailers are selling their wares at cheap rates. One can easily avail a cheap Bluetooth enabled mobile phone from either online or from any high street outlet. This might spell some bad times ahead for the already ailing music industry. They just need to keep their fingers crossed till 2007 when mobile music swapping system in mobile phones is expected to take off.
