The second international workshop on mobile internet user experience

ABSTRACT

Mobile access to the Internet is increasing but still dominated by early adopters. To attract more users, user experience of mobile Internet needs to be improved. This requires understanding better mobile users and usage contexts to identify the kinds of services that users will be ready to use. In addition to increasing the attractiveness of services, successful user experience also requires improvements in devices and infrastructures such as networks, browsers and proxies and means to find situationally relevant services. This workshop calls developers and researchers of mobile Internet to exchange experiences and ideas how user experience of mobile Internet could be improved.
