Hello all, Here is a link to an interesting piece on Jan Chipchase.
Rich L. You know when it feels like somebody's watching you...then you may be right, because this man is using you to plot the future of mobile phones "I've got a fair idea of what you're carrying in your pockets," Jan Chipchase says, somewhat ominously. "I spend a lot of time rooting around in people's bags. And fridges." So goes the opening gambit of a self-described "professional, authorised stalker". Employed by Nokia, the largest mobile phone maker, he tracks human behaviour around the world to help to design the phones of the future. A trove of mobile trivia, Mr Chipchase (actual job title: principal researcher) knows, first-hand, that burkha-wearing students in Iran cheat in exams using hidden Bluetooth headsets; that 50 per cent of the world's women keep their phones in their handbags (and miss 30 per cent of their calls); and that most Asian early adopters who watch mobile TV ignore the mobile part and tune in from home. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/telecoms /article1784881.ece --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mobile-society" group.
