The
mobile database is a resource designed to provide information on mobile usage around the world. With a particular emphasis on social and environmental initiatives, articles and reports, it aims to assist academics, professionals and practitioners interested in ways mobile telephony is being used to enhance environmental, social, humanitarian, political and economic causes. The database launches with details of several dozen projects, articles and reports, and will be continually updated with past, present and future initiatives as they come online. Users are encouraged to help by submitting details of their own projects, and volunteers are encouraged to assist with general updating.
At the same time, a gallery of mobile-related images has also been launched on the site. Until now, high quality royalty-free images have been hard to find on the web. The mobile gallery aims to meet this need by providing NGOs and non-profits with royalty-free photographs for use in brochures, general literature, websites or project reports and proposals. The gallery launches with approximately forty initial images. Additional categories and countries will be added over the coming weeks.
