This is really not some NASA space technology stuff, it’s more of a hint on possible improvements of the already implemented technology. I have a feeling that this presentation is going outdated as it’s being written…

a few ideas for the future

3. intro and general idea
The mobile phones came a long way since the “big bang” in the
80’s. They evolved in every possible way they could – the size, the
shape, the technology etc, and all the way up to the purpose and
the way we are using them.
With every new generation, new much higher standards were set,
constantly introducing some new ways to improve the quality of
life – messaging, internet access, multimedia library, a powerful
game console, navigation system and many more.

4. intro and general idea
The hot trends of the moment include location based social media,
augmented reality, shopping, biometrics, community
recommendation etc.
Hot trends that marked the beginning of the so called Mobile 2.0
revolution and will definitely be the "talk of the town" in the future.
The whole 2.0 episode was triggered by the appearance of the
Smart phones followed by the explosion of touch screen devices.
With the birth of the iPhone came the app explosion that brought
hundreds of thousands of applications [ current figures: iTunes -
400,000+ apps; Android Market - 200,000+; 35,000+ ]

5. intro and general idea
The device of the future, whether it's the cell phone, tablet, gaming or
multimedia device, or perhaps a single device that is all that, will be the
information central, a fusion of social networks updates, latest news
headlines, essential information [ weather, traffic, notes...], email, web
browsing, shopping recommendations, IPTV and many more services we
increasingly depend on.
Complete data synchronization between different mobile [ and desktop ]
devices is, let’s say finally usable and will have to dramatically improve in
the years to come, perhaps powered by one of the services like OpenID,
Facebook Connect, Twitter Connect etc. - the story seems to be
developing in the right direction.

7. The device to come [ these days ] will need to
pay a lot of attention to the visual component as
the last few products that came out yesterday.
That will definitely have to apply to the
hardware and software parts. Minimalistic
approach to the design combined with the
absolute ease of use and upgrade, simple,
customizable and clean user interface.
We’re not quite there yet, but it’s getting better and better!

8. user interface
…needs to pay more attention
to what user experience is
talking about…
This is really not some NASA
space technology stuff, it’s more
of a hint on possible
improvements of the already
implemented technology.
I have a feeling that this
presentation is going outdated as
it’s being written…
fast contacts viewer with contact data with social
letters for easier finding networks data [ fb status,
last tweet, location on the
map if its shared… ]

9. user interface
…with new
user experience
latest generation hd video call/chat
system with easy access to any social
medium, and run on a 4G or what ever
better solution there is, will probably
render the old fashioned voice only
calls useless…
It’s like Video killed a radio star thing
all over again :)

10. It would also be nice if we
could “dock” anywhere, but
without having to carry an
extra item along :)
… we just didn’t quite invented it jet… :)

11. a few other thoughts on the future
Mobile device of the future will be "more human". Besides being
the life organizer, personalized and fully customized tool, it will be
the tool for creation, sharing, collaboration, productivity, learning,
shopping etc, bringing different people to the new kinds of online
communities - networks of blogs, discussion forums, twitter feeds
etc, the places to practice free speech, give opinion, get critics,
meet people, find a dream job ... It would become a true Digital
Urban Network - user generated, user moderated, user exploited.

12. a few other thoughts on the future
Mobiles in social networking already offer amazing
things, but in the future, mobiles will be the driving force
of the social development projects and programmes with
organizations like UN, UNICEF, WHO, WFO, WWF, Amnesty
International, Greenpeace...

13. a few other thoughts on the future
In some African countries, mobile phones are not only a valid
payment system but a powerful tool against corruption. The
future might bring some exciting new banking services on our
smart phones, including online banking, currency exchange,
stock exchange, and hopefully fast web shop checkouts allowing
the purchase with just one click. Then there are enormous
possibilities with QR Codes - for example: QR code placed on a
City Light, poster, direct mail... which is then scanned using a
Smartphone. The link takes you to a mobile web store with one
click purchase button. If you decide to buy the product, just click
the button and wait until it's delivered to you.

14. a few other thoughts on the future
It's not just something from the SciFi movies, smart phones are
already capable of replacing your wallet and its contents, it's a
matter of day when our phone is going to host our drivers license,
I.D. card, passport, medical record...

15. a few other thoughts on the future
Travel guides on mobile - absolutely amazing! No way you'll be lost
with GPS navigation, Location Based Services, Local offers, buying
tickets for museums, public transport, Layer services and all that
enhanced with rich media, audio, video, social media... Definitely a
publication that can deserves the "All in your pocket" title.

16. In order all those ideas to stop being
the Future and actually become the Present,
there will have to be more cooperation,
more freedom, and a lot of patience.
And yes, a little money issue perhaps? :)
In that case, there is a YouTube clip
that it would only be appropriate to end the slide:

17. thanx for reaching
the last slide anywayz:)
