Seven Top Mobile Trends For 2007
Posted by Nurhisham Hussein in "THOUGHT" @ 10:00 AM
"The top mobile and wireless trends that will emerge in 2007 wouldn't be possible without the two biggest stories of 2006: the advent of the cheap smart phone, and Sprint Nextel's bodacious announcement that it is building a nationwide mobile WiMax network...These two top stories of 2006 lead us to my predictions of the seven top mobile and wireless trends for 2007. Some of these trends will fully flower in 2007, while in other cases we'll just see the start of a big trend that will develop more fully in years to come."
Although largely US-centric, this Computerworld article details some interesting prognostication on trends in the mobile and wireless markets. There are some things I find less likely like the spread of mobile email, but that's because I'm in a market where SMS predominates. I especially like the cautionary note on mobile TV, though the Korean experience indicates that there will be markets where this could find a niche. What are your thoughts on 2007?
