- danw 19y agothe most successful web businesses will be those that enhance one's "real" life. This is why I think mobile has such great potential. A platform that the user carries around with her all day that has rich sensors such as camera, microphone and NFC. It's perfect! (apart from the small screen but thats a small price to pay for such access to an user)
- far33d 19y agoWell, perfect except for the handset manufacturers and carriers you have to deal with.
- danw 19y agoIt'll take time but eventually (5-10years) they'll stop getting in our way. For now I can keep dreaming..
- far33d 19y agoI've been thinking about this today and I realized that there's one thing that makes the carriers and handset manufacturers unimportant.... browser support. If the incumbents continue to stifle innnovation, then the best apps will come out as m.mycrazywebsite.com instead of as installed software.
- danw 19y agoJust like with webapps. The problem with mobile browsers is that it takes 5-10 seconds every time the user clicks a link which quickly gets annoying. Luckily nokia, opera and others are giving uss mobile widgets. As easy to make as web apps but run on device with full api access to hardware. We just have to wait the 2-3 years whilst it becomes standard on most handsets.
