Faster, lighter, more – and ubiquitous!

Posted on by

We are so close to the next level of connected life. Worldwide LTE (Long term evolution/4G) cellular networks will give us a lot more opportunities as of today and enable us to do more data intensive applications, even by multitasking. The future is wireless – no doubt. And no matter how much up- or downstream you need.

For sure you use your Ultrabook, Tablet-PC or Smartphone as well with the next level software and apps. No wonder: with intuitive touchscreens and user-orientated/centric operating systems. You organize yourself in a new way in the enterprise 2.0 as well as in your private environment. Via Evernote, Wunderlist, Dropbox and Dragon you are everytime available on duty. Dragon for instance is giving you the freedom to record your voicememos instantly and converting them directly into written text for usuage by email, Twitter, Facebook and more. Siri from Apple, feature of the brandnew iPhone 4S, goes a few steps further of this scenario by converting and understanding your textmemo, if you want to set appointments and more. The phone does exactly what you want it to do – the perfect companion.

Can you imagine the next landmarks in commerce, mobility, smarthome, learning and health? Let´s get ready. The future is bright.

    Smart. Phone?

    From my point of view it is no rocket science to have success in the mobile device business.

    First of all you need to have a good hardware piece. Beside that you have to have an Operating System. Doesn´t matter which one at the end as long it is running more or less fast and stable. No-Go in that case: if you supply very permanently kryptic error messages (e.g. such as WP7 does). After that you need to have a good design, which is far more beyond the european understanding of design – this is corely: a great graphical user interface (GUI). Last but not least you have to be the gatekeeper of your eco-system, which means the Apps, the Store, the Music/Archives, the Web-Interface etc. – keep it clean. In the end you offer a great user experience of your product – even if your eco-system isn´t that open as most of your developers wanted it!

      I, smartphone!

      Could you imagine the performance of nowadays smartphones?

      Today – Apps to emulate different cameras, lens and film equipment

      For instance: the build-in camera offers you HD video and great pictures. But that´s only the basic functionality. With the right Apps you can even emulate different types of Polaroid devices b/w or full colour. You can easily make 360 degrees panaroma pictures. If you like you can do old fashioned pictures with an Ina´s 1969 Film combined with a John S lens, or a Kaimal Mark II. Whatever you like on making pics: your smartphone can provide the right gear. No wonder that you can share all this in the cloud or to post it to Facebook, Twitter, FLICKR & Instagram on the go. With the performance of 3G and LTE uploaded in seconds. I love it!

        Seamless borders!

        I try to figure out the next releases for the CES 2011 in Las Vegas. About news on Android 2.2 Froyo and 2.3 Gingerbread. And what about Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and a very early CeBIT next year? Seamless borders between smartphones and tablet-pc´s I expect. A firework to come for a smarter planet – hopefully.
