Surely 2007 is the year of LBS (location based services) – companies like Loopt will grow customer base and get interesting (possible acquisition target) and potentially via partnerships with community review sites such as Yelp – could we see the concept of Mobile Graffiti take off – short messages left via mobile to physical coordinates in real-time? Neat.

High marketed products will beat out any high spec products. (Oh wait this has been going on since the early 90′s hence the MS takeover).

Number (x.0) standards being made up are getting lame and undefined. The developers know that the next standard is what they make and not what others try to constitute, but it is something to look back on as a subject…so I guess ‘they’ need it.

And the jump in the SIM world will spurge – which I don’t see much in your blog posts Om, sure the readers will get an interesting chat out of the numbers and implementation planning from providers and manufacturers.

Therefore I believe that for a country like India the new media will be her savior.

Wish you a very Happy New Year and thanks for staying true and sharing all the good things with us over the years. Best wishes for gigaum.

Its nearly 2007 and time for some reflection, and an article in the McKinsey Quarterly on 10 long term megatrends caught my eye today. Its interesting to think about their impact on broadband media, and broadband media’s impact on them.

The trends …

Google would then incorparate their new GoogleTV advertising platform, Bittorrent,Gtalk, RSS & a suit of other Google applacations for a complete personalized IPTV experence.

I was just listening to a podcast yesterday that I think you should catch. It’s at TalkCrunch and about the new Adobe Apollo platform. The reason that I think it’s important is because Adobe is trying, in my mind, to create the enabling “secret sauce” that will allow the “Web 2.0″ companies compete in both the online as well as the offline world. It will make more sense if you listen to the podcast but imagine something like FeedDemon without the NewsGator world in the middle. Using Adobe Apollo you would be able to create the FeedDemon application once and have it as a client on your desktop OR as a web based application that you access anywhere. They don’t get to far into examples, simply talking about an MP3 player that you can use in either “online” or “local” mode. This podcast with the product manager is a good primer to take you farther down that road. The ability to use both local and web based resources for storage, access, updates, distribution…it has, in my mind, the ability to turn the “Office” productivity suite market on it’s head, upside down and backwards. The same could be said for many of the SaaS vendors like SalesForce.com. The limitation there is you can only access it via the web. With the Adobe Apollo world you could have a local client to work with when you are not connected that automatically synchs when you get connected again and, oh yeah, allows you remote access anywhere via the web whenever you want it. Now, if I only had the technical skills to do something with this idea :)

Mobile widgets (e.g. Widsets) will give rise to some new mobile Internet services.

On the business side:
More clarity will emerge about tools that will initially supplement and ultimately replace email in the corporate world.

Web 2.0 will remain, but mostly for business oriented applications.

They just need to first hire me. :-)
