Twitter PostsMobile Messaging Killer Phone?
Texting on the one hand is amazingly simple and time effective. On the other, they are still limited length-wise and more and more people use “txt shrt-hnd” which to me is just lazy. Instant messaging too has its drawbacks…especially when going mobile. Sadly IM turns into “txt shrt-hnd” because of the allotted length of the messages on cell phones.
Now back in the olden-days there was good old fashioned message boarding, one of my many loves. There is no mobile messaging equivalent…yet. Mobile email almost cuts the mustard but it falls short with the subscription fees which are often mucho expensive. If only there was a mobile device to do all of our communicating with us in what ever form we choose…
In my last post I briefly covered what I want in such a device. I’m kind of talking about a cyber-wallet to carry digital forms of currency, identification and personal effects. It could make calls: local, long distance, and international. It could even do terse messaging, email and collect RSS feeds for its owner. And it wouldn’t work outside range of its owner. All for a flat fee. Sounds nice doesn’t it? I’d call it the mySphere…which runs Supraphere. Could it happen? For sure!
Sounds like a grand idea, and some of that technology is already here.
Cyber wallet tech has been used by the Japanese for a good period of time now, using RFID tech attached to your phone, it becomes your mobile credit and debit card.
i have even seen a system wherein you take a picture of a bar code in a magazine, and they bill and ship you the product automatically. because its all attached to the phone, which already is attached to you.
I usually avoid text shrt-hnd, and i haven’t had maximum character issues for years. My phone has an internal browser which can collect RSS feeds as well.
what I’m interested in is whether we will see new mobile technology using those old analog channels the FCC just opened up.
