VODAFONE FOUNDATION DRIVE TO MAKE MOBILE INTERNET OPEN TO ALL
The Vodafone Foundation has today launched the Smart Accessibility Awards, 2012. The competition calls for developers across Europe to design smartphone applications which take into consideration the needs of older people and people with disabilities.
The Smart Accessibility Awards are part of the Vodafone Foundations Mobile for Good programme which supports initiatives around the world which use mobile technology to drive positive social change. This year, the Vodafone Spain Foundation is running the pan-European competition, and will host the final in early December.
The awards are supported and co-organized by AGE Platform Europe, the European network of around 165 organisations of and for people aged 50+, and by the European Disability Forum (EDF), representative of 80 million Europeans with disabilities.
Andrew Dunnett, Director of the Vodafone Foundation, said, Smartphones are transforming how millions of people manage their daily lives, but some groups in society are at risk of missing out on the revolution. The Smart Accessibility Awards is one of many Vodafone Foundation programmes around the world which are tackling the diverse barriers to a fully accessible mobile internet.
2012 is the European Year for Active Ageing and Solidarity between Generations, and the Smart Accessibility Awards are fully in line with its objectives to promote older peoples active participation in society and support independent living in old age, said Anne-Sophie Parent, Secretary-General of AGE Platform Europe. We hope the contest will encourage the development of many new applications to facilitate older peoples access to new technologies and inspire further initiatives to foster digital inclusion of all EU citizens, including persons with disabilities and ageing people.
Rodolfo Cattani, EDF Secretary and EDF ICT Expert Group, said, In an increasingly digitalised society, more and more essential information and services are available on smartphones. To access them, persons with disabilities require applications designed for all in order to enjoy the right to information, full participation and mobility as any other European citizens. The accessibility of those applications allowing new ways to access websites and internet features is as important as the accessibility of assistive technology devices. Therefore, we call on the European Commission to adopt an ambitious and legally binding European Accessibility Act by 2012.
Launched today in Brussels, the competition will award the best smartphone application in each of four categories: social participation; independent living; mobility and wellbeing. The competition is open from 30th May 2012 to 15th October 2012.
Qualifying entries will be evaluated in November by a jury consisting of representatives from AGE Platform Europe, European Disability Forum and the Vodafone Foundation. Twelve shortlisted finalists will be invited to present their application to the judges at the final in early December, when the four overall winners will be chosen.

VODAFONE LAUNCHES BREAKTHROUGH MASS-MARKET SMARTPHONE
Smart II a step-change in delivering the mobile internet to value-focused consumers worldwide
31 May, 2012. Vodafone today announced the launch of the Smart II, a breakthrough smartphone for the mass market, which offers an unprecedented combination of high performance and low cost in a package attractive to the large majority of consumers currently missing out on the smartphone revolution.
The Vodafone Smart II has twice the processing power of the most expensive and sought-after smartphones available just three years ago, but at a fraction of the price. It offers new smartphone users a high-end mobile internet experience and an uncompromised level of functionality, including:
· a highly responsive HVGA capacitive touchscreen with 64 million colours;
· brand new Broadcom 21552 with 832MHz processor and 512MB of RAM the computing power of high-end smartphones 3 years ago;
· high-speed 3G HSDPA and Wi-Fi connectivity;
· 3.2 megapixel camera with white LED flash; and
· the latest Assisted GPS (AGPS) technology for rapid and accurate mapping and navigation functions.
The Smart II is also highly customisable, with interchangeable back plates and rims in 16 colour variations.*
Vodafone has designed the Smart II to introduce non-smartphone consumers to a new world of content and services that will save them time, money and help them manage their daily lives, including:
· high-speed mobile internet browsing, including voice-activated Google Search;
· access to the latest news, entertainment and transport apps for information on the move;
· emails, contacts and calendars;
· social networking services such as Facebook and Twitter;
· money-saving services such as the Vouchercloud, a location-based shopping discount voucher app; and
· dedicated Vodafone apps which make it simple for customers to track their spending and download the best new apps and music.
Patrick Chomet, Group Terminals Director said: The Smart II is one of the most important devices we have ever introduced. It delivers a level of performance, functionality and quality that is traditionally the preserve of high-end smartphones but at an exceptionally affordable price. We believe the Smart II could represent a tipping point in the evolution of the market, bringing a new wave of consumers to the supermobile world for the first time.
The Smart II will be available across Vodafone markets and partner markets this summer and will be priced under 99, launching first in the UK priced at £70.
