MEX manifesto

MEX, the PMN Mobile User Experience Conference, is taking place today in London. I am not there, but I find the agenda interesting. Taken as a whole, the "manifesto" offers thought provoking insight into the future of the mobile industry.

• Manifesto #1: Content itself will be the interface of the future
• Manifesto #2: Handsets are no longer just for the hand
• Manifesto #3: Fragmentation is the enemy of innovation
• Manifesto #4: Fashion is a stronger motivator than functionality
• Manifesto #5: The developing world is the new frontier for mobile user experience
• Manifesto #6: Search requires a radically different approach in the mobile environment
• Manifesto #7: Intelligent contact lists are the future centres of the user interface
• Manifesto #8: Mobile payments herald the next generational shift
• Manifesto #9: Users as individuals: uniquely complex and contradictory
• Manifesto #10: The potential of smart voice
