In case you don’t know Globul is a popular mobile network operator in Bulgaria, and they have just announced a project that puts cellphones and banks working together. It will be a “first” for Bulgarian cellphone users which will be pretty useful for everyone.

Thanks to the Mobile Wallet service that will be launched approximately in the beginning of 2010, Globul subscribers will be able to check how much money is in their account, as well as making online payments in different sites. Did I mention that this system can be used to pay service fees, and also to have updated (real time) information related to the bank account? Now we just have to wait until 2010 to see it working, but the plan is promising..

You’ve probably used an application on your mobile phone made with the Plusmo platform but maybe just don’t know it… Now that AT&T has acquired the company which creates mobile applications, you’ll most likely get used to the name Plusmo.

What’s good about Plusmo is that it can make the development time become shorter, and therefore the cost of the applications will also become cheaper (at least for AT&T). The other positive point of Plusmo is being a cross-platform that makes it easy for developers to launch applications in different devices and operative systems, be it for cellphones, for TV, and also for computers. Taking in consideration that Plusmo has good deals with handset manufacturers and other leading careers, this is a certainly a good move by AT&T…

Krishna Vedati, CEOat Plusmo, comments:

Plusmo’s mobile platform capabilities will help contribute to AT&T’s effort to accelerate consumer adoption of mobile applications as well as expand the opportunity for publishers, media brands, service companies and developers to reach a large and coveted audience across a broad range of devices.

How important is a helpdesk or support medium for businesses and mobile phone app developers? Similar to modern day business, these are critical in making sure that they get the necessary feedback to be able to provide proper attention and customer service support for people who may be needing them. In short, it helps them improve current issues to provide patches and also becomes a key factor towards making future apps to cover a larger scope.

With this in mind, Zendesk launches the First Mobile Dropbox for Help Desk Functionality for Android and iPhones. This is something that can really be a privilege to most app developers, particularly the ones aching in getting feedback. With this dropbox in place, iPhone and Android users can easily and quickly submit a bug report, feature request, question or service request directly to the developer without having to leave the application.

The trend is similar to what we see online. There is no telling when help and support may be needed but this should be automatic. Today, we may rarely see them but overall, they are really something that should be instant and hence not really an option. Any business or app for that matter should provide them to people since no product or service is perfect and is susceptible to bugs, issues and concerns.

Support drop boxes are a ubiquitous feature on the web where users see them labeled as “feedback,” “support” or even “help,” providing an easy way for visitors to interact with the site owner. However, until now, mobile application users have not been able to enjoy the same convenience and access on their devices as they have online.
