enter Shrink Ray
TM
A recent study indicates only 8 of the Top 1000
brands have mobile compatible web sites. The
number of cell phone users in Canada is estimated
at 17 million users. The growth in cell phone
users and smart cell phones continues. The
growth in carrier capabilities and 1x-EVDO
networks allowing higher bandwidth
continues. Recent improvements in Cell phone
capabilities and cell phone technology have
resulted in larger browser screens that make the
user experience vastly superior to even a year
ago. This points to a large and untapped market
potential for companies, if addressed properly.
We offer system integration and powerful mobile
enablement services that are the embodiment of
our experience and technical know how to ensure
your implementation and mobile strategy is world
leading. Please note this report is a sample

About the Shrink Ray tests
TM
The Shrink Ray mobile ready report is a report
constructed to estimate some key metrics of
potential web application to be suitable for use
on a mobile device. A mobile device is assumed to
mean a mobile phone or PDA, and variants of these
devices including Blackberries, smart phones,
etc. The Shrink Ray tests include HTTP header
parameters and agent strings to inspect the web
applications pages to determine effort to return
a properly formatted page specific mobile
devices. The overall site design and layout is
also inspected for key metrics such as style
sheet based layouts, table use for data
presentation, and use of frames. The tests also
consider page sizes and loading parameters to
make sure pages can be appropriately Shrink
Rayed to a size of 5k - 15k per page. Some of
the tests used in this report are implementations
of the W3C's mobileOK level 1 test suite.

• Some Trends
• comScore Networks indicates over 152 million over
  age of 15 are on-line in the US, of these 19

  than 1 year old (AT Kearney)
• Location based services are expected to grow by
  150 per year for the next 5 years.

• What it all means
• Organizations that embrace auto-detect mobile web
  sites increase overall traffic thus opportunity.
• We are in the midst of a revolution that is
  instigating a shift in how we use our mobile
  devices.
• The experience must be specific and rich for each
  device.
• Organizations that want to cater to the growing
  base of users who access the web via their mobile
  device need to consider creating mobile computer
  sites.
• Typical mobile pages need to be 5k in size
  compared to a typical web page of 50-100k per
  page.
• Mobile web browsing is emerging as a suitable
  alternative to PC/laptop access.
