In Pakistan mobile phone is not just a phone – it is a status symbol and many people carry more than one phone. I wrote a post on the future of mobile phone and the varoius technologies in development. Excerpt below:
A recent BusinessWeek report presents some interesting views about mobile technology and its drivers. Also see some other interesting futuristic slides here, Nokia’s aeon concept phonebased on Wibree protocol and Google’s idea of a free mobile phone with ads.
So lets put together a wish list of an ideal phone / gadget of the future … music, high resoultion pictures and video, chat, speech-to-text, unified messaging, games, organizer, browser with intelligent alerts, e-commerce capable, location-aware (GPS) – did I miss anything?
It will be interesting to look back at this at the end of 2007.
Good post….waiting for more.
