Client have to be easily accessible, meaning that general people could adopt and use it. Notebooks and desktop computers aint nowadays even used in every household, i know many folks who just mainly use their tablets and smartphones. I dont know about rest of the world, but in Finland banks have very sophisticated clients/internetbanks and with all the NFC and other mobile payments systems, competition is fierce.
Certainly NEM have to be better than those systems of we want to create complete currency system/finance platform.

We definitely shouldn't forget about smartphone users here. It's a vast and growing market.

+1000

I think a smart device wallet should be THE focus of NEM. Apps are the way all computers are moving. The main stream app stores started with IOS and then Android, but even now the big players are in it. Windows now has a app store, Mac has an App store, even Ubuntu has an app store! And for smart devices, app stores are basically the only choice, and yes, it of course needs to be one click. Whatever the interface, the guy from Finland makes great points. I'll be fair, I spend a lot of time on my desktop, but people like me (and probably you are dinosaurs in a way). I am a professor in another high tech country, and basically all of my students use their cell phones as their primary computing device. There is no going back to the desktop after this. The focus of the NEM client should 100% be mobile. We need to launch with a great android app, and hopefully an IOS one too. If not an IOS app, than a portal that can be accessed via IOS. Yes, I know this is asking a lot. It is also the way towards success.

Personally I can't see anyone who only uses phone as their only device to be high tech people. I could see how a country like that could be a high tech country, where the casual users all have cell phones, because it's something that the culture can afford, but I wouldn't consider someone who just uses their phone and mainly checks face book, texts, and plays simple casual games to be high tech.

Totally agree with j23a on this one. More so, i assume people expect less hacking to happen on mobile devices, but that's a lot easier to be done than on the pc (of a high tech person). I'm with jabo38 on the mobility factor, but until these smart devices get a lot more secure they won't have my trust in them in terms of banking.

Something that should definitely be added when Nem is released is a MD5 & SHA Checksum, so that people can verify that the download is legit.

+1 for those that were on the receiving end of an infected client. Simple instructions and a short explanation about the security measure.
