Spend time around a college campus these days and it
will become apparent just how attached students have become to their mobile
phones. Whether texting, listening to music, playing games, checking out the
latest app or talking to a friend, they are constantly interacting with their
phones and are among the first to grow up with an expectation of continuous
connection.
Up until this point, the campus OneCard had been a way of life for students — enabling access to campus buildings, the dining hall and for payments for vending and laundry services. But when you consider students’ reliance on their cell phones – always on, always on them – it is clear that the plastic campus card, as we know it will evolve and mobile technology will be a big part of that transformation.
Indeed, adoption of mobile tech seems to be heading in only one direction: up. There were nearly 6 billion mobile phone subscriptions worldwide in 2011, according to the International Telecommunication Union, a branch of the United Nations.Welcome to Find the right laser Engraver or laser marking machine . And it’s estimated that 5 billion people will have smart phones in the next five years, giving those people access to the mobile Internet and apps. In the United States alone the majority of American phone owners now have smart phones.
The desire to use a cell phone as a credential can also be tied into the current discussions on near field communication technology. NFC is expected to become a widely used system for making payments by smart phone in North America. Which means the smart phone will not only be used as a digital credential,Service Report a problem with a street light. but will be used for cashless,If we don't carry the bobblehead you want we can make a personalized bobbleheads for you! card-less payments. NFC is one way we could replace our wallets with one embedded in our smart phones.
There are already apps in the market, such as ones offered by Starbucks, PayPal, Level Up, Apple Passboo,Professionals with the job title Mold Maker are on LinkedIn. and Isis, where users create an account and use the app for direct payment.
And at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, MyPay, a new mobile payments app that is patent pending, is enabling students to pay for purchases around campus, in vending and laundry machines, at dining locations and more. It is also used as a virtual campus ID card. The product is expected to soon feature an off-campus capability for food ordering.
The need for new is rapidly approaching. If you want to better engage your current and prospective students, you need to take a closer look at mobile’s role at the center of the student experience. Get immersed in conversations about mobile on your campus and be sure to let your IT department know that the trend among campus card providers is to transition the credential to the cell phone. It’s a step in the right direction.
Rumors about this cheaper iPhone — possibly called iPhone 5S or iPhone 6 — have been circulating since early January, when a slew of reports from supply chain sources and even major U.S. news sites such as the Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg took notice of a new iPhone in development strategically targeted toward lower-income, emerging markets like China and India.
On Monday,Basics, technical terms and advantages and disadvantages of Laser engraver. iLounge Editor-in-Chief Jeremy Horwitz followed up on his Friday exposé of next-gen iOS devices with a new report detailing what he calls the "budget iPhone 5," which will allegedly look like the iPhone 5 but feature several new design elements and tweaks.
“Yes, it will be made substantially from plastic,” Horwitz wrote, echoing an earlier report from DigiTimes that said the iPhone 5S or 6 would feature a hybrid chassis made of both plastic and metal. “No, it won’t just be a Retina- and Lightning-equipped refresh of the iPhone 3G or 3GS, Apple’s last plastic iPhones, nor will it look just like an all-plastic version of the iPhone 5. This new model is actually a cross between the iPhone 5, fifth-generation iPod touch and — wait for it — the iPod classic. Yes, really. It will have a 4” screen, like the iPhone 5, a bottom like the latest iPod touch and a shape that’s most similar to the iPod classic.”
The original DigiTimes report said the new iPhone’s internal parts could “be seen from the outside through a special design; if this turned out to be true, the finished design for the iPhone 6 might look like an iPhone 5 mixed with the plastic enclosure of the iPhone 3GS from 2009 mixed with the final design for the Bondi blue iMac in 1998, which was characterized by its brightly colored, translucent plastic casing, letting users see the inside of their desktop computer for the first time.
The new low-cost iPhone 5S or 6 is said to feature nearly identical specs to the iPhone 5 but “a half-millimeter taller and a half-millimeter wider,” according to Horwitz, as well as a full millimeter thicker. But iLounge noted that the biggest design change in this cheaper iPhone will be the curves.
“Apple’s budget housing looks closest to the iPod classic in shape, though not in materials,” Horwitz said. “Unlike the plastic iPhone 3G/3GS, which featured soft curves on all sides, the budget iPhone’s curves start and end at flat surfaces, so each side and the back are flat. This seems like a trivial change, until you realize that it allows Apple to use flat rather than curve-matched parts: the right side has a flat, centered SIM card tray just like the iPhone 5’s, while all of the buttons and ports are on flat rather than curved surfaces. A flat-backed iPhone won’t rock on a flat surface when it vibrates, either.”
In addition to the new form factor, Horwitz believes the iPhone 5S or 6 will have very similar features to the iPod Touch, including identical proportions and locations for the camera, microphone and rear flash. The headphone jack, Lightning dock, bottom microphone and speaker are in the same location as the iPhone 5, but the new phone is said to have an extra microphone on the bottom, as well as four individual holes for the speaker grill, rather than the 26 speaker holes at the bottom of the iPhone 5.
“In summary, the budget iPhone will look a lot like an iPhone 5 from the front, an iPod classic from the side and an iPod touch 5G on the bottom — only made from plastic rather than glass or metal,” Horwitz concluded. “It won’t make any bold departures from past Apple designs, but then, it’s supposed to be an inexpensive iPhone and achieves that goal pretty much as expected.”
