One of the most common questions that I have been asked is "What next ?" The questions go something like this - "Now that we have got computers and lot of software, what next ?" , "Now that we have got phones like iPhone in the market, what next ?", "Now that we have got big screen HD TVs, what next ?" The question - "What next ?" is interesting, 'coz it makes you think and at times it can get you be innovative.
As a software developer, we have developed a variety of applications like desktop applications, web applications and what next - and the answer, as I feel, is "applications for mobile phones".
Earlier,we used to feel privileged having a PC at home...then comes the privilege of having a laptop and a mobile phone (a basic one was more than sufficient) and now I think that more than privilege, the comfort is in having a mobile phone that can keep you connected (online) all the time... a mobile phone that has got the applications that can you keep you close to the information.
To me, not many of us have started using BlackBerry yet, but sooner or later we can see people relying on their mobile phones to check their emails, search on google, get directions to your destinations, book tickets for a movie or book a table in your favorite restaurant.
Now here comes the question - "Do we need a blackberry to do all this ?" and the answer is "No" . We could do all this even now, by enabling GPRS service on our mobiles (contact your service provider for more details). There are 'n' number of interesting apps out there that you can download for free and have fun.
I have a Nokia 6600 and have got GPRS enabled very recently. I have installed a s/w named Nimbuzz messenger that supports MSN, GTalk, Skype, YM and couple other chat services. You can log on to all these messengers in one go and see who is online on these messengers. You can IM your friends and read the responses too :-). The other application that I have is the Gmail Client, that lets me check my Gmail inbox, compose and send messages.Isn't that interesting?
The future is mobile, stay connected :-)
