Are Smart TV’s really that smart?

May 1, 2013

Compared to Smartphones, the Smart TV still has a lot to learn. While mobile devices have mastered the challenges of location based services, synchronization and intuitive user interface, Smart TVs are about as fit as the couch potatoes staring at them. Integration within the home network, content discoverability and performance issues are major challenges for users and developers alike. Getting these things right are essential for the success of Smart TV. Despite a growing number of Smart TVs, many customers are simply not hooking them up or just not using the connected services they have to offer.

While hardware vendors and content providers are still figuring out their strategies, app developers are caught in the middle without a standard framework to support them. Add to that country-specific politics and media regulation exercising their influence in the TV marketplace and you have your work cut out for you.

The Project Lounge knows the technology and content providers in the digital TV space. If your venture needs contacts or expertise to get off the couch, we are ready to help. More information at: info@project-lounge.com.

What’s App with you?

April 1, 2013

At the end of this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, many of the touted trends sounded quite familiar: device battles, context awareness, web apps vs. native and of course speeding things up with LTE.

While the focus is rightly still on the basics of cloud computing, user experience and managing the diversity of mobile devices, some new trends are emerging that present real opportunities for developers and providers looking for the next big thing.

Within the Project Lounge network, mobile payment, enterprise apps and leveraging the use of “big data” top the list of new developments we are talking with clients about.

The challenge is to pick your targets of innovation while still getting the basics right. After all, what good is innovation if performance, scalability and user-experience doesn’t work. At the Project Lounge there are experts ready to help you sort through the pieces and find the best solution.
