a tightly woven nanofiber mesh of people, places and things
The mobile web will quickly become the most transformative force on the internet as we move into 2010. It will start to enable the effortless discovery of pertinent content for users and allow them to essentially browse the real world. At the same time it will allow businesses to communicate in real-time to users who are in relevant locations. Due to the adoption curve on web-enabled mobile devices (going from 0 – >150m devices in less than 3 years), the speed of the transition from a leading edge concept to a mainstream pillar for information retrieval and marketing will be unprecedented and will create widespread opportunities.
Our experiences with on-the-net and off-the-net will be more and more blurred as the quick and easy access to keep one connected becomes the de facto way of life.
Mobile Web basically *twitterized* our desktop experiences. Our reliance of the internet will be extended beyond how we had evolved from main frame, mini frame, PC and laptop to the use of this pocket size mobile device, no matter how grandeur (news, work and business communication, real-time sensitive daily consumption, etc.) or how trivial (personal communications & connection, life style, etc.) one’s connection to the world has become.
With the mulit-functions on the device, Mobile Web is emerging to give the user an extremely powerful sense of in-control by constantly knowing what’s available to you and what you can capture as a witness to anything occurring around you.
All of a sudden, history is not something you read from other people’s writing, it is something you are personally a voice of.

Mobile web is about making the browser portable on mobile. Mobile Browser should be able to pin point your Geographical Coordinates: Latitude, Longitude, and Altitude and return search results based on your location including your position within a tall building on specific floor. Mobile Browser should be able to receive accurate data from Gyroscope and Accelerometer and respond to events based on Mobile Browser setting. It should be able to allow web app give various info based on detected motion and action depending on speed, velocity and direction of motion. This would help designing more functional entertainment, game and health care app.
Temperature sensor will be a critical in mobile transformation. Mobile Browser can trigger events based on the temperature reading from temperature sensor. It can send alerts if temperature arises above danger level in case of fire, explosion, and accidents.
Augmented Reality play an important role in daily activities.
I’ll describe more if I win the ticket.
The future of the mobile web is a combination of augmented reality and local search. It is a personalized view of a web of convenience where you needed search or type, but rather get information pushed to you in a contextual manner. This mobile web is built into every phone and becomes the phones’ most popular feature.
