Personalized Email Summary to Mobile
Filed Under Electronics | Comments Off
Amika Mobile asked:
Amika Mobile products are unique in that they take any content, analyze and distil it to key words that provide the essential information or meaning contained in the original email or web page. The products leverage artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze and abstract the salient meaning from email and web-based information. This effective use of artificial intelligence provides a personalized email summary to your mobile device. It is our belief that “pushing” all email and web-based information onto the micro-screens of today’s cell phones is not the right approach to deal with the flood of information that burdens and overloads users. We have thus established a market niche for ourselves as no other company in the world has delivered an Email-to-SMS solution that first ranks how important an email or web page is before extracting key content to be delivered to a micro-screen on a mobile phone or Blackberry. As such, we unburden users and allow them to only get critical email alerts that provide them with the important message. This technology is independent of the device, messaging platform or carrier.
Personalized email summaries to mobile devices constitutes the cornerstone of our philosophy as the discussion concerning the myths of wireless email highlights below:
Myth #1 - Stuff your Inbox into Your Mobile Phone or PDA - this is a terrible idea! How can you possibly fit into 2 inch x 2 inch micro screens the hundreds of messages you get at your desktop. Why would you want all that spam to follow you around? It is better to only have critical email follow you while mobile. This is intelligent mobile messaging.
Myth #2 - You cannot possibly expect to get key points of your email without getting the full message! This is a good myth. Typical emails are 2-3 paragraphs or around 150 to 200 words long. Using AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology it is possible to pull out the key points of an email that are typically 15 to 20 words. These 15 words typically tell you what the message is about.
Myth #3 - You cannot secure wireless content including the key points in the email. This is definitely not true. Many companies provide encryption all the way to the device. Service providers even go further and allow the contents of mobile devices to be wiped out if lost or left behind in a taxi!
Myth #4 - Cell phones are not effective devices for wireless messaging. This is another great myth. There are now 2.5 Billion cell phones with people text messaging from them continuously. Cell phones are great communication devices and are great for receiving the key points of email providing users with a low cost alternative to the Blackberry or other expensive PDA. Email to SMS text messaging is a very credible alternative for most cell phone users.
Myth #5 - You can only get the key points of wireless email from select service providers. This is also untrue. A number of service providers including ones like www.amikamobile.net allow any user from anywhere in the world to have critical email alerts follow them to any mobile phone, PDA or even desktop.

Over the decade I have been using mobile devices to view email, I have noticed how users get completely addicted to their devices. I recall walking around with a Nokia flip phone - circa 2000 that I finally gave up for a Motorola phone circa 2004! I still think both vendors offer great phones. Today, I walk around with a Pearl from Blackberry. 2007 marks the first time in a decade that I have accepted a Blackberry as a phone and as an email device. I had both. I get the Gist of Email from various sources (personal and enterprise) sent to me through www.amikamoble.net. I don’t bother synching my Blackberry since I don’t want the 200 or so messages I get a day to come to me mobile. I am finding that this is a good way to separate what I have to absolutely address while away from my Inbox. I am definitely an addict of mobile email and am very fussy about my mobile device. I know people who have steadfastly refused to give up their devices until the keys start to fail. The reason for this besides the form factor, look and feel is the information that these devices have onboard in terms of contacts and now pictures. One way around this is to synch the device to a desktop contact manager and download pictures and crucial information before they get lost altogether when the mobile device finally gives out as all things manufactured tend to do!
Not only do users become attached to specific mobile devices but they can personalize their mobile phones further through the effective use of black and/white lists with services such as that at www.amikamobile.net. Judicious use of filtering words during the sign-on for this service creates a highly personalized mobile phone, thereby increasing the efficacy of the forwarding of critical email alerts and their relevance to every user. Filtering can be amended later by returning to the sign-on page and making changes, additions and/or deletions as necessary.

Push Email for Mobile Phones
Filed Under Electronics | Comments Off
Amika Mobile asked:
It is interesting that the approach that vendors and carriers continue to tout to users is that they need ALL their emails on the mobile phones. Users can either register for a “push” email for mobile phones service such as the Blackberry and receive every annoying desktop email they get in its full glory with its hundreds of lines and threads. Or they can sign-up to other vendor offerings such as Google or Yahoo! with their “pull” offerings for Smart Phones which download your desktop email view to your 2×2 inch micro screen! Both types of services force you into expensive plans of $50-100 per month and you have to buy a Smart Phone. This is even the model for the more innovative devices such as the iPhone from Apple. So, what is a poor overwhelmed user to do?
Users need to look at reducing the volume and hence expense of the “all” or “nothing” model. The enterprise can look at buying a product that only forwards the critical emails to users with the option to reduce the content of those emails down to the key content. Consumers can similarly sign-up to Smart Email-to-SMS portals that automatically reduce the number of packets (and hence cost) based on salient content and then decide if that email should go mobile or not.
The carriers and the vendors would have us believe there are no such services! All you have to do is look at innovative solutions like the Email to SMS solution of Amika Mobile to know that there are great alternatives out there!!
