Opera Mobile

The Market

The advanced feature phone and smartphone user has never been more active and short on time. These users are constantly on the move and need the latest mobile gear to keep connected to their expanding world. They require products, services and add-ons that maximize the potential of their mobile devices. The experience should be intuitive and get them closer to the things that matter most:

• closer to family and friends
• closer to their work and office
• closer to Web content and entertainment

The Challenge

The challenge for the mobile OEM and operator is to connect these users to their world, and, in doing so, to your brand and services.

By offering a connected mobile office, you get your customers closer to their work and improve their productivity. By offering the ability to access full Web 2.0 Web sites, you get the users closer to family and friends, and by offering Widgets on the idle screen you get them closer to the Web content, services and entertainment they want during leisure time.

Your challenge is to maximize the connected value of mobile technology so that it helps these dynamic individuals get the most out of their digital lives and in turn help you retain customers and build revenue.
