Changing the Mobile User Experience
I was flying back home today after a nice weekend vacation, staring at the GTE Airfone (or whatever it's called these days) in the seatback in front of me and thought (not for the first time) "what a waste". Talk about your captive audience. They really could use that LCD panel to provide valuable information. I know that some of them give news updates and update stock market information, but even that stuff is on a really tight loop.
Same thing with my wireless phone. I have a Samsung I-500 ... a pretty advanced phone, on the whole, that can poll my email every 10 minutes or so with the pretty speedy Sprint Vision service. So why can I have a cool RSS client or some kind of "Pointcast for the Phone" as my screensaver instead of (or in addition to) a clock? I think all the pieces are there.
This guy's thinking along the same lines I think.
