摘要
The design teams' views on the creation of Sprint PCS Vision Multimedia Services launched in August 2004 within the wireless carriers are discussed. This view provides insight into how business and research constraints influence the design of mass market services. In addition to lab testing, market trails with JAVA (J2ME) implementations of the streaming service were also conducted to assess market acceptance. These applications increased the limits of device memory and processor speed. The keys to wireless carriers success includes levaraging prior knowledge about existing products and services, in-lab usability testing and large-scale field research.
