mobile applications

Just saw an interesting thread on the evolution / creation of Web 3.0 Welcome to Web 3.0: Now Your Other Computer is a Data Center. I think he hits on some interesting enabling technologies, but I don’t draw the same conclusions he does about the significance and nature of what those technologies will enable.

There has been a lot of discussion around mobile applications this year. Certainly a good sign if 2008 is to be the year of open access. The predictions on mobile applications (web or native), however, range from death sentences to explosive growth. In this entry, I’ve taken a look at the three extreme perspectives and why they feel the way they do. In the next entries I’ll address what it is that they’re all missing and how (I think) mobile software will evolve.
