Mobile Telephony

The User Interface (UI) is turning to be an increasingly important area for the mobile telephony industry, as it lies at the heart of differentiation strategies led by manufacturers and operators. And increasingly challenging, too. While user experiences become more sophisticated, they also become more complex to create and maintain. At the same time, the presure on costs and time to market is only increasing.
