Seems like it should be mth Wave of Technology

I remember back in 2000, when I was an e-Developer we were providing m-Solutions for clients all over S.E.A (South Eastern Asian Countries), then there was a bubble burst.

As We all notice and observer the technology and ancillary industries that are supported by or support technology is gaining momentum at an incredible pace, there seems to be a new life being pumped into mobile solutions or mobile computing.

With Asia and Europe clearly leading the 3G technology US is far behind playing catch up with wireless innovations.

I believe mobile computing was not much of a success for several reasons in the early 2000s
1. WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) was very limited
2. Screen Resolution ( There was not too many rich colorful screens available in phones)
3. Screen Size ( I myself was priding myself in owning Motorola V62, the tiniest phone)
4. Technology and Browsers ( For the longest time Wireless browsers did not have the capability of SSL enabled pages, which killed the buzz word m-Commerce)

I am sure there are plenty more reasons we can come up with and I do welcome all your comments and suggestions, feedback on what has changed in the last decade in mobile computing arena.

Should we call this M 2.0 for the next wave of mobile revolution.

I will write more in part 2 of this series what are the latest trends tools and technologies that are available. You can reach me at prakash@iPhoneWare.com
