Firefox OS utfordrer de lukkede mobiløkosystemene + Service Design boklansering
We hosted a double bill at NITH on open mobile platforms and service design.
The first part introduced Firefox OS, Mozilla's forthcoming mobile operating system built on open web standards and HTML5, and discussed its design principles and possible long-term effect on a mobile market dominated by Apple, Google and Microsoft. Telenor was working with Mozilla to distribute Firefox OS phones, and a developer from Comoyo showed how existing websites could be turned into web apps in a few simple steps.
The second part launched the book "Service Design: From Insight to Implementation", published by Rosenfeld Media. Lavrans Løvlie, founder and partner of the service design consultancy Livework, explained why the time was right for a service design textbook and how its techniques can be used to build more customer-friendly services. Ben Reason and Andy Polaine joined him for the launch. Both presentations were held in English, and the evening continued at Oslo Mekaniske.
