MoMo 3

Hi All,
Last weekend i gave a presentation in the MoMo (mobile monday). The presentation was a compilation paper on the emerging trends in mobile phones. This was my first presentation in such a forum. There were many other presentations apart from mine. Starting with the keynote by "Dr. Adutya Sood" from CKS. most of the presentations were focusing around advertisements in mobile games and surfing. The base line concept on which they were focusing was that Click through rate for mobile compared to internet was 4% which was almost 3-4 times more, hence a better oppurtunity for advertisers!
I personally liked the presentation named SMS2.0.

Not to re-invent the wheel!

Few days back i was browsing the web and got hold of this link on web. The link is from Nokia Beta Labs.

Nokia has solved this problem "How not to type and still get the information in ur cell?" in a very beautiful way. The basic thing works on two assumptions.
1. Presence of camera mobiles.
2. Text would be present with their mobile codes.( how to generate mobile codes?)
When i saw this first, i almost compared it with the Adobe Forms dynamic 2D barcode technology
and found both the things solving much of the same problem very beautifully in their own way.

The lesson here i learn is , it is "Not to re-invent the wheel!". Just change the wheel a bit and re use it.
