Abstract

This paper reports on a large-scale, international focus group study that examined the user experience of mobile technology users in Hong Kong, Japan, Finland, and the U.S. We identify eight central mobile technology paradoxes that shape user experience and behavior. We suggest possible design features that relate to the experienced paradoxes and discuss how they could be better managed.
