I'm planning out our product strategy over the next several months (we provide a social networking web app to connect high school athletes to college coaches) and we anticipate providing usable access to our site & features via handheld devices. This is future-planning, as we haven't spec'd out the work or design yet, but I'm trying to look ahead.
My question is, if we anticipate at least SOME part of the mobile version will deliver highlight videos, and others will likely be RSS-style text alerts (who's new, who matches my saved alert, etc), which devices should we target for testing, in order to capture a pretty significant user base. Our primary personas fall in these categories: high school athletes & their fans (generally teenagers - approx 14-19), what I call "advocate fans" (parents & close friends helping the athlete get recruited), high school & college coaches (we're researching now, but estimating their ages fall in the 25-50 range). We're doing all of our UCD, architecture & development in-house, so I'm just assuming we'll need a few such devices for our user & compatibility testing. I would also really like an iPhone, but that's beside the point - if we can do this without purchasing one I'd be find with that =]. I checked the archives and did a brief Google search, but haven't found anything on the subject.thoughts?
