Tomorrow’s mobile messaging devices will contain a lot of personal applications, in addition to business applications.
Many will be highly person-dependent. Eg, your editor has a French dictionary, a Le Monde newsfeed, a restaurant guide, a local train and subway guide, among his personal applications. But which personal applications will be the most widespread?
Our guess is:
- Camera-both stills and movies
- Photo and video library
- Music player
- News feeds
- Listen to radio
- Information on local entertainment
- Travel information, information on how to get to places, travel bookings, etc
- Access to financial information
- Shopping lists and applications
- Electronic wallet/payments
