The first time many Chinese use the Internet, is with a mobile
Yes, the first time many Chinese use the Internet, or take a photo, is with a mobile. This is just one of the conclusions that Dan (partyStrands) and Trevor (aka mobileTrevor) heard during the Nokia Mobile Application Summit that took place in Beijing last week.
Some more impressive numbers are:
- 3.5 times as many Chinese have access to Internet via mobile than via computer
- There will be 500M mobiles users in China this year.
The Nokia Mobile Application Summit is Forum Nokia’s bi-annual customer event. Forum Nokia invited MyStrands to present partyStrands and the MyStrands Social Player to Chinese operators and content aggregators. It was an excellent opportunity for us to meet and follow up with some interesting players in the region. There were 17 Chinese media companies and 5 foreign ones represented among 500 total attendees.
