Why does Betavine call itself a Vodafone Group R&D Lab?
Firstly because Betavine is an initiative of Vodafone Group R&D, in order to have a closer involvement with the mobile & Internet development community and to support the development of great apps and services for the total communications space. But also because labs are a place to experiment in an environment that actively furthers the invention and discovery process. Just like in a lab, Betavine is working on providing useful tools to measure the uptake, usability, and other quantifiable results of alpha-stage and beta-stage prototypes.
