So Far … • Cell phones will be the dominant device for wireless applications, although they will inherit PDA-like functionality • By combining WAP, IVR, location and proximity detection, the stage is set for a new generation of wireless applications that can truly change the way we perceive wireless Network Systems and Technologies (NeST), Trivandrum.
Exciting Possibilities • Embedded Java will do away with performance and memory issues • “WAPLETS” will allow you to dynamically download Java byte code and execute them on the cell phone • Voice will be a predominant option for data entry, but key pads will still be used for secure data Network Systems and Technologies (NeST), Trivandrum.
Future … • Leverage IVR (Interactive Voice response) technologies to reduce data entry woes. • Location and proximity detection technologies…Global Positioning system • Convergence of WAP and Bluetooth • Evolution of Wireless networks towards 3 and 4G.
Conclusion … • SMS and WAP continue to be the key technologies for wireless application development • When you design for wireless, don’t take a “porting” approach towards your application. Instead, focus on how you can leverage the strength of the medium to design your next killer app.
