Xavier Buyse Thinks the Industry Looks Healthy

The iPhone has brought about the greatest of revolutions, something akin a gift from the gods for Xavier J. Buyse Consejero Delegado at ADS Media. It brings the mobile web front and center, creating a pioneering fantastic user experience on the mobile device. Many people with more modern Nokia devices know that the operating system Safari has been on the s60 Nokia’s for over two years. The mobile internet experience, which was demonstrated earlier this year when the iPhone was shown off looks close to to the experience of the new Nokia phones. Saying that Apple has made significant usability adaptations to make it easier to use and a comparatively pleasant experience. Something which will help the industry as a whole as well as entrepreneurs like CEO of ADS Media Xavier Buyse.

The ubiquitous iPhone solves one of the most fundamental set backs of the mobile device, input and output. The all touch screen interface allowing for multiple finger taps, creates a satisfying user experience even facilitating a full keyboard to appear on screen when it is required.

In addition, Mr Xavier Buyse CEO must be thanking his lucky stars that The ubiquitous iPhone will bring two communities together for the first time, the mobile group and the world wide web community. These factions have been separated for a considerable time. And the introduction of the first mobile computing unit that web developers and designers can agree upon has created a boon for mobile internet content creation.

Right now it is tricky to get more than a passing interest in web developers, meaning less content to consume, and as a consequence next to no interest from consumers. But now that that members of the web community are likely to carry Apples iPhone like a badge of honour, always have it at their at their side, I expect a tremendous increase in mobile internet content in the next 6-9 months.

Controlling devices with a touch screen is nothing new in mobile devices, but being able to carry out multiple taps on top of this as gesturing for moving pages up and down, resizing, etc, I believe Apple has stumbled upon a genius way of doing complex operations easily.

I would suggest it is what you get out rather than what you put in which is critical. The flat screen on the Apples iPhone is astounding. Text is could not be clearer, with a resolution that is a synch to read and use. Mobile device displays aren’t something that has seen a lot of miracles. Most cell phones look almost identical, resorting for pixelated text that one comes in two or three sizes. Usually the only difference is brightness. The iPhone makes content on a portable device look extremely similar to hardest to duplicate screen of them all, a real life page with print on it.
