Gartner has put out a media release on their report ““Eight Mobile Technologies to Watch in 2009 and 2010” (http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=867012). The list includes:
- Faster access networks: High-speed Wi-Fi (802.11n), Cellular Broadband (HSPA)
- Local Connectivity Solutions: Near-Field Communications, Bluetooth 3.0
- Hardware Improvements: Better display technologies
- Location Sensing Applications
- Mobile User Interface improvements
- Mobile Web and Widgets
I have more than a passing interest in the last two technologies. There have been a number of posts on these topics in the VisionMobile blog (http://www.visionmobile.com/blog/ ) the past few months. Some of the more interesting ones are:
- How UI frameworks are enabling a new type of content – UI Personalities. http://www.visionmobile.com/blog/2009/01/ui-personalities-a-new-premium-content-market-on-the-radar/
- Mobile Application Runtimes – which includes Webkit. http://www.visionmobile.com/blog/2008/10/who-will-win-the-race-of-mobile-application-runtimes/
- Mobile Megatrends 2008 (http://www.slideshare.net/andreasc/Mobile-megatrends-2008-VisionMobile) which includes mobile web & widgets, the competition between application execution environments etc. The description of how value in mobile software is bubbling up the software layers is especially interesting.
