How Would You Do This Using Your Mobile?
First, when would you use your mobile to do something like this? When you use
your mobile to do a Google search on the Harry Potter movie, most probably you are
looking for a nearby movie theater to go and watch the movie today evening! Would
you like to research on the movie, the cast, and what the latest issue of E! wrote
about them while you are rushing to your office, holding your bag in one hand and
a newspaper in another? Would you like to view the movie preview when loading
a simple page takes 30 seconds? Would you like to instant message your friend and
engage in four screen long e-commerce experience when you don't have a mouse
or keyboard, and the only way to enter information is 12 numeric keys and 4 arrow
keys? Most probably not!
Most of the actions you would do from a desktop to buy movie tickets will not be
convenient from a mobile.
