What a day in history of handheld computing.
I remember when I first saw Newton way back in 1998. We use to work on Mail on the run to offer mobile email.

Today, Fantastic capability in device is allowing porting full capability OS on mobile computers.

Got two Video’s to share demonstrating where it could lead. First one is hands on experience of Nokia’s latest launch of N97 device :

Second is more of a hack. The iPhone (and ipod Touch) can run Linux. Though it is still to support full capability of firmware.


iPhone Linux Demonstration Video from planetbeing on Vimeo.

I wish we have so many devices and so many OS’s variations. Everyone uses that fits them most.
So how will application eco system survive?

Huh! Who is writing applications on native OS now ?

Flash to Java to widgets are the way to keep growing. standard based support of these frameworks will be critical.

When will devices like iphone and N97 to reach $100 mark? Any guess?

There are many things your mobile can do today. With fantastic hard disk sizes and processing capabilities, a phone is less just-a-phone and more of a general purpose all-in-one device. Adding various device-side or network-side applications, you can enhance your everyday experience to new levels.

Today most of the Value Added Services business is based on entertainment value to user. It definitely is heading towards more utilities and services for everyday use.

I love exploring how others see and use their mobile devices. In this hunt, I spotted these two videos worth a dekko.

First one is from Google as part of mobile tricks and second is presentation by Nokia ‘s Anssi Vanjoki (whom I am meeting this week :) .


Google Mobile tricks:

In the second video, Anssi describes some key finds of user behaviors and how Nokia is leveraging them.


Browsing remains #1 killer mobile application and messaging takes the second spot. Will social networking be an independent application or remain part of whole browsing traffic only?

Here is second video from Nokia World 2007

Do you think Nokia will be able to make itself a great services company ?

I say, why not.

Look at Apple – from a computer maker to world’s largest (digital) music seller and so much more (yes, Steve Jobs is the biggest factor!) .
A great company reinvents itself from time to time and challenges status quo in the markets.

My views on Ovi, Apple and GYM’s (Google/Yahoo/Microsoft) mobile application/services business in a post later.
