移动电话是最常见的个人随身携带的数字技术之一。除了语音通话，它们还可以用作数码相机、PDA、互联网控制台以及电子邮件和即时消息客户端。对改进的操作系统和编程语言的需求催生了广泛的硬件和编程API。然而，这些手机应用的设计者不断受到两个不可避免的挑战：(1)用户如何定位并将应用下载到手机上；(2)应用是否与手机的硬件兼容？我们的挑战是发现手机应用程序的设计空间，这些应用程序不需要下载或安装程序，可以在任何手机上运行，无论手机的网络、运营商、操作系统、年龄或硬件如何。我们开发并部署了两个这样的应用程序--树地图到达信息和组投票。
The mobile phone is one of the most commonly carried pieces of personal, readily accessible digital technologies. Beyond just voice calls, they function as digital cameras, PDAs, internet consoles, and email and instant messaging clients. The demand for improved operating systems and programming languages has given rise to a wide range of hardware and programming APIs. However, the designers of these mobile phone applications are continuously challenged with two inescapable aggravations: (1) how will users locate and download the application to their mobile phone and (2) will the application be compatible with their phone's hardware? We undertook the challenge to discover the design space of mobile phone applications that required no downloading or installation procedure and would operate on any mobile phone regardless of the phone's network, carrier, operating system, age, or hardware. We developed and deployed two such applications - Tree-Map Arrival Information and Group Voting.
