The workshop will discuss the mobile Internet from the end user perspective, identifying factors and solutions that would make Internet usage on a mobile device an enjoyable experience. The main question in this workshop is: What kinds of solutions will engage mobile Internet users? We hope to gather viewpoints and experiences from different cultures and stakeholders. By ‘mobile Internet’, we mean both Internet services specifically designed for mobile use and mobile access to full Web sites, Internet based communication systems (e.g. email, instant messaging, VoIP), feeds and widgets. We are also interested in mobile services that complement ordinary Web sites.
 
The workshop topics include
- Factors affecting mobile Internet user experience
- Factors affecting user acceptance of mobile Internet services
- Use cases and contexts for mobile Internet now and in the future
- How mobile Internet user experience differs in developing countries
- How mobility is changing the Internet user experience
- Utilizing mobile specific features such as location and context data in the services
- Experiences and success stories of individual services
