Airset is an online company that offers a service allowing people to network your calendar and address book with other people…the company plans to extend the service to sychronizing those things on the web with your mobile phone and its to-do lists…with one benefit being that you don’t lose your contacts if you lose your phone. Airset will be “rolling out the first client in the U.S by late
summer, for Brew-enabled phones first, then Java soon to follow”, according to a spokesperson. The service is free on the net but will cost around $5 per month to use on your mobile.
Networking applications that make it easier to keep track of people and different groups of people, and arrange things with them, are likely to be a big part of mobile phones in the future…it’s not just friends and family who can form groups to keep in touch but community groups, clubs and so on. Even work. Access priveliges are customisable.
